President Barack Obama is praising University of Missouri football player Michael Sam for announcing he is gay before the NFL draft. […]
First lady Michelle Obama and Vice President Joe Biden sent Sam messages of encouragement over Twitter last week after his announcement. A spokesman had said Obama shared their sentiments. …

Alternately: Obama trolling for a date.
If we tell Mr. Sam that we could not care any less so long as he does what he is paid way too much money to do on the field and does not force the team to accommodate him and start performing worse as a result, then maybe we won’t have to hear such cries for attention in the future. Coming out stories are now like the disruptive kids in class who throw whatever’s handy at other kids and eat garbage in public because they can’t tell the difference between good and bad attention. The solution in these kinds of situations is never to encourage them. And those Americans who protest or complain about these coming out stories are sadly only encouraging them.
Nothing gay eludes his attention.
What the f..is there to applaud? Is there a more pitiful, tragic, disordered claim to fame?
- How to kill professional sports…..
What a laughing stock we are. Our all gay all the time president is a joke.
He will start his career as a tight end, and finish as a wide receiver.
ba-da-dum
Yay yay yay gay gay gay.
backlash coming.
Did Mr. Obama ever tweet a sign of support and encouragement for the US Christian pastor who has been held captive in Iran for years?
No, he hasn’t.
Pretty curious for a self professed “lifelong christian” such as obama to overlook that supportive gesture.
Of course, the obvious thing then is that obama never was a christian of any stripe.
- How to kill professional sports…..”
Without a doubt.
Once Sam enters the NFL Christians are going to stop watching and stop going to games.
Yeah, seems that way.
Just can not get away from this guy.
I can just imagine him starting something along the lines of Roosevelts ‘Fireside Chats’ BUT doing it in the fashion of Limbaugh and have 3 hrs on the radio in Mid Day then a couple of hours prime time TV in the evening.
HOWEVER, the ‘bloom may be coming off the rose’—
there is a Show on SHOWTIME -”Shameless” Which stars William H. Macy and airs Sunday @9PM - It is about a Chicago family that makes Al Bundy look like the All American successful Dad and puts Peg along the lines of June Cleaver.
Anyway the mixed marriage (he W..she B) next door neighbors/best friend is talking about the upcoming birth of his children (triplets) and they are talking about goals to set for them.
Well HE may even be President and the ‘father’ says
“We already have a Muslim Half White pResident named after a ruthless murderer”...etc...etc...(close etc)
Couldn’t believe my earballs, almost like the shots TV shows took at Bush....
I (reluctantly) heard part of the ‘interview’ with Sir Charles Barkley and they played the part of Sam being BRAVE for coming OUT before the draft....
Like in the Basketball player, THEY won’t admit that the timing of these two sweeties is geared to ENHANCE their chances for fame and fortune.
Did anyone sign that ‘washed up/never really was’ Basketball player...Don’t hear about him on a daily basis so maybe he wasn’t picked up....
Pity to embarrass him and his GIRL friend like that and NOT get a big payoff out of it....///sarc///
