Funny how all the conspiracy theories tend to focus on the NBA when it is the NFL where the commissioner manipulates behind the scenes. There was another component I heard on the radio. Goodell told all the other teams to lay off a player the Rams wanted to draft so he could sign with the Rams as an undrafted free agent.

Add that move to LA sure went smoother than anyone thought.

So the deal was either draft Sam or else we’ll put you on the TV show sooner? Is being on cable something to be feared?

And ESPN pitched in with their none-dare-dissent hagiography on how Sam’s Mizzou teammates thought he hung the moon.

Sam eventually was cut and found himself in the Canadian Football League in 2015.For 1 game after which he quit for mental health reasons. He has since said he wants to return to the NFL in 2016.

They should have forbade the Rams from cutting him.
And every NFL team should be forced to draft at least two homosexuals. And a woman. And a disabled person. And three Muslims. And an Eskimo.

That kind of stinks, if true....marginal NFLroster level talent...seemed plausible for him to get drafted late somewhere.....

Michael Sam is going to the LA Rams? Is this a jail joke?
I had a feeling the last Super Bowl was going to be our last.

Surprised to read that this was something new. Remember reading the exact scenario when Hard Knocks was in the process of choosing/forcing a franchise to be part of the show. The spin then was that they declined St Louis because it wouldn’t be fair to Sam to put that kind of pressure on him.

Wow! A gay football player is too much drama for cable tv? When will they stop force feeding us all the other gay characters?
