Michael Sam is again dominating NFL headlines. You’ll recall that Sam announced he was a homosexual before the NFL Draft. He was then drafted by the St. Louis Rams but didn’t make the team. He was signed to the Dallas Cowboys practice squad but was cut from that as well. Having done absolutely nothing in the NFL, Oprah Winfrey interviewed him and now he’s all the rage again within the liberal sports media. Let’s be clear about Sam, he hasn’t played a single down of football in the NFL. He’s no hero, he’s a washed up linebacker who simply doesn’t have the skills to compete at the NFL level. That was clear in the preseason when he dominated soon to be cut players in the 4th quarter of game one but couldn’t compete with starters or regular season backups in the 1st or 2nd quarter of game three.
Of course with the liberal sports media his performance on the field is nothing compared to the political statements he’s made off of it. Bryan Curtis of ESPN’s Grandland website compared Sam kissing his homosexual lover when he was drafted to the famous Victory over Japan photo taken in Times Square in 1945. Absurd hyperbole perhaps but the Sam kiss did more to make people gag than anything else. To compare it with an iconic photo from the end of World War Two is patently ridiculous the average American. Of course, it isn’t ridiculous when you’re pushing an agenda in which case the photo is iconic and terribly meaningful.
The problem of course is that Michael Sam was a mediocre football player who couldn’t even make the team. Nevertheless Oprah declares wonders aloud whether Sam was given a “fair shot.” In the world of NFL reality, Sam was given two shots and he wasn’t good enough to make either team he tried out for. The excessive news coverage of Sam during training camp couldn’t mask the fact that he really wasn’t a NFL player. There are not affirmative action roster spots in the NFL, a player is either good enough to play or they aren’t. Sam didn’t demonstrate anything on the field that would have made an already bad Rams team better. It’s hardly atypical for a 7th round pick to get cut, late round picks are notoriously unpredictable. Sometimes they work out, most of the time the player is gone within 2 years. Sam was no different, he just didn’t have the talent to compete in the NFL this year.
What really has the media excited is the prospect of more NFL players declaring themselves sodomites. Sam himself declared that other NFL players have reached out to him in “gratitude.” NFL homosexuals are so happy that Sam came out of the closet that not a single NFL player has done so since. If Sam was really paving the way for homosexuals in the NFL you would think at least one or two of them might have come out of the closet. Sam is likely lying about other homosexuals in the NFL in a vain attempt to keep himself relevant. For a group that loves to be pat on the back and told how wonderful they are just for declaring themselves to be sexual deviants and with a liberal sports media clearly willing to cheer them on, it’s odd that no other major sports star hasn’t declared himself a homosexual. There’s clearly money and adoration to be gained, even within the locker room major sports leagues are increasingly intolerant of dissenting (read: conservative) opinion. Where are the professional sports homosexuals? They don’t exist and Michael Sam is lying about them showing him any gratitude.
Michael Sam was a creation of the liberal sports media. To listen to ESPN you would have thought he was Jackie Robinson. In reality, Michael Sam was at best a questionable NFL prospect that got himself a lot of publicity by declaring himself a sexual deviant. Making out with his homosexual lover after he got drafted wasn’t iconic and the comparison between it and the actually iconic V-J Day photo says more about the media driven agenda than anything else. That the media is once again talking about a washed up sodomite who wouldn’t have made it in the NFL if he were straight indicates the agenda at work. We’re about to enter the NFL playoffs and the media is talking about a player who didn’t play a single snap this year. Absent an agenda the media wouldn’t be talking about Michael Sam just like they aren’t talking about the hundreds of other players who were cut during training camp.
One sentence encapsulates the entire article...media...fag...agenda.
There are about 1700 NFL players in the rosters. Statistically, one would expect about 1.5% to be gay, meaning about 25 limp-wristed men playing professional football in the country, if pro-athletes are representative (which we all know is unlikely). I’d guess no more than ten gays playing pro, possibly five or fewer, but that’s only a guess.
In any case, we all know how many in the NFL have chosen to come out as perverts - zero. Perhaps an athlete can recover from dog-fighting, or from knocking out his fiance/wife in an elevator (disgusting, and in my mind unforgivable, but apparently others are more open minded), but at least for now gay athletes, if they exist, know that the country has no tolerance for Michael Sam’s level of perversion.
Evidently the Gay Mafia doesn’t understand football. I’ll bet if he were a figure skater they would all understand the situation.
The guy was pretty good. But he played in a spot where the other guys are really, really good.
It’s a numbers and performance thing.
....but he is gay....it is all the rage because Big O-prah interviewed him!
Funny how these people mess in someone else’s lane....thinking that it is a professional courtesy and favor when no one asked her her to....she is a tramp....nothing more...
The only thing I’ve learned from the Michael Sam saga is the meaning of the term “Power Bottom”.
Gag.
The media made him a celebrity,
and they can't understand why the public rejects their media wh*re.
NO! ...end of story
Since he obviously prefers to Bend Over in front of men, why didn’t he try out for CENTER??
He was cut from the NFL squads because he sucks..................at football............
As soon as Dallas got rid of the pervert, they started winning again.
Asserting Sam’s “queer privilege”.
He could claim he’s Kim Kardashian’s cousin.
I guess we’ll have to wait awhile longer to hear an announcer say: “There’s a fag on the play”...
That is not correct. Queers are not equally represented in all fields. If it were true, than only 1.5% of male hairdressers would be queer.
His 15 minutes of fame ended with the kiss and confirmed by his inability to play. Lacking skills to qualify cannot be faked in football.
Even if there are a handful of homosexual football players in the NFL, the notion that they all must declare to the media that they’re sexual deviants is absurd. Unfortunately for them and us, the leftist narrative is that all sodomites have to tell everyone about their sexual desires and they must also be proud of them. To the left the notion that someone might be ashamed of their sexual desire or that they might want to keep it to themselves is antiquated. It’s a reality though for a certain group of people though. Not everyone, straight or homosexual, wishes to discuss their sexual interest with the world. Many would prefer to keep it to themselves. That isn’t an option in the narrative driven media.
I don’t know, my Detroit Lions have been faking skills for my entire lifetime. Kidding (sort of) aside, Sam isn’t playing in the NFL today because for teams winning is more important than narratives. There is too much money at stake for coaches and general managers to leave a player on the team for no other reason than he pleases a certain group politically.
