Brutha gots to learn how to “pucker & clench” when lifting weights.
Who cares?
“You know what will happen...”
Cry like a little girl?
Would we even be hearing about this guy if it weren’t for his self proclaimed homosexuality?
I watched the combine - he didn’t stand out and as a Mizzou fan, I was disappointed. I want to see all of our guys do well. I’m sure nerves are terrible at that venue. The commentators said that anyone choosing him would have to decide just where he fit in as he did not have the size or skill set for any one position. He is however the SEC co-champion or whatever for Defense and I know he had some great plays for us.
Guess he was just too distracted by all the hunks at the combine....or ESPN and SI’s twenty-four hour coverage of him.
Would this guy’s combine performance rate even a passing mention, let alone all these stories, if he weren’t openly gay? Of course not. His primary football “skill” is his purportedly bringing “diversity” to the NFL.
Wasn’t this guy all-conference or something? Interesting given it appears everyone except the general public already knew he was gay. Seems maybe a set up to get the gay player out there. Next up, The President.
Like so many individuals in these media storms, I have no ill will for the guy and wish him success. What makes me cringe is the accompanying agenda. This guy seems like a good person. He’s clearly an accomplished athlete, and from my view, he made the announcement with good intentions. He knew it would likely become public during this process because he had shared it with his entire college team. He got in front of the story, and I do not fault him for that.
The ESPN hyperfocus and tweets/interviews of all the of the left wing annoys me, and the media storm around the draft and during camp is going to be obnoxious. Aside from that, I don’t see him as a glory hound like the NBA guy who announced on his way out of the league purely for self-advancement.
RACISM!!!! No, wait. Wrong one.
HOMOPHOBIA!!!! There, that’s better.
Looking in at the NFL Combine, I find Sam with a rating of 5.22, ( NFL backup or special teams potential ) about middle of the pack or average. Just a slight step above a 50-50 chance of being drafted. Should be interesting to see if a team bows to PC pressure and drafts him instead of using good football sense. If he’s good enough to be on a pro team without the hype, then so be it.
A way to reclaim the word “gay”, meaning “happy, carefree” would be for all potential draftees to declare they are: “gay”
And if they have a happy streak, then they’d be telling the truth.
It would also prevent a slow, otherwise not draftable athlete from being drafted for political reasons instead of for athletic prowess.
It’s so obvious that the NFL is homophobic or Sams would be doing better.
Repent, America.
As soon as he announced he was a homosexual prior to the draft I knew what was going to happen.
This person knew up front he was not cut out for the NFL so he is pressuring them to draft him because now the homosexual crowd and the worthless Media will start to hammer the NFL for being anti-homosexual if they do not hire him.
This is just another form of worthless Affirmative Action.
Sam was always a fourth round pick, at best, that’s why he chose to play the sodomy card. He got what he and his agent wanted, tons of attention and pressure on someone - anyone - in the NFL to draft him.
In the most calculating and crafty of ways Michael Sam is leveraging his homosexuality into the public eye. He may likely be a total bust in the NFL, but Michael Sam will be called “the first” and will earn unending adulation and attention that he and his agent will turn into cash.
What is the only reason that Jason Collins got a 10 DAY contract? For no other reason whatsoever than to legitimize him by forevermore forcing everyone to refer to him as, “former NBA player, Jason Collins”. It’s a total scam, but’s that’s how the Left works, through deceit.
Also, free weights hate gays too. The homophobia is obvious.
He will be a first round pick...just to avoid the lawsuits.
You obviously haven't heard about the latest government program?
AAFQ Affirmative Action for Queers?
