St. Louis Cardinals: Make "It Gets Better" video to prevent suicide by teens bullied for being gay.

The Issue

Professional athletes (and the organizations they're employed by) are not only role models for teens, but they're also -- often rightly -- perceived as bastions of macho behavior and imagery. When these organizations speak out publicly against gay bullying of teens, the message it sends to all teen-aged boys is even more powerful than when it comes from other sources. I'm also a St. Louis Cardinals baseball fan, and I want to see my team join these ranks.
