Michael Sam's NFL snub already at historic level
SB Nation Outsports ^ | November 4, 2014 | Cyd Zeigler

Posted on 11/04/2014 3:52:39 PM PST by EveningStar

... With every week that passes featuring mediocre players taking the field for NFL teams, and various clubs showing no ability to stop the pass, the reasoning for the NFL's collective snub of Sam becomes more and more clear:

Michael Sam is not on an active roster today because he is openly gay...

Not so fast there, Cyd:
... The defensive end's sexual orientation probably had less impact on his draft disappointment than a poor workout at the annual combine, where scouts assess the upcoming NFL prospects.

The 6-foot-2, 255-pound Sam was considered a possible mid- to late-round pick as a "tweener" -- too small for an NFL defensive lineman, too slow for a pro linebacker...

He should never have been drafted, he was something like the slowest and most lumbering player there was

Oh geez not this blank again.

So per liberals, who tend not to know much about sports or football anyway, the only reason Sam is not playing in the NFL is because he is a homosexual. How many of you believe that??

No defense can stop the pass because the rules don't allow anyone to PLAY defense any more.

The author's basic premise is flawed. He says because everyone is terrible that Michael Sam was good enough to play.

What it really says is that Michael Sam was really not very good at all if he couldn't find a place on a roster of terrible defenses.

New NFL player position would have to be created. “Loose end” would be an appropriate name.

So Cydney is trying to make the case that being a poofster is a pass into the big boy’s league? Hell, Sam ought to be glad he didn’t get tossed out there, maybe vs. something like the Steelers’ offense and he ends up looking like Beetle Bailey after Sarge stomps his ass into a mud puddle!

He was on the cowboys practice team.. a team that NEEDS a pass rush and they let him go.. that should say something.

He had a very good maybe great college career but that may well be a function of scheme more than excess of talent.

Anyone remember Larry Brown .. MVP Superbowl then went to Raiders and was at best OK.. scheme matters

There has never been an openly homosexual star athlete ever in major American sports who was popular. Martina Navratilova got few endorsements despite being the best female player on the pro tour for many years. And anyway she's a female, and everyone who follows sports closely knows there are many lesbians in female pro sports.

I wonder if a star homo player actually comes along in a major male sport how he will be received. I don't think he'll be received very well. I doubt even many libs would like the idea of their favorite player(s) being seen sucking face with another male.

I think it’s because he’s black.
