Richie Incognito, Jonathan Martin both support Michael Sam
NBC Sports! ^ | 2/10/14 | Michael David Smith

...Dolphins offensive linemen Jonathan Martin, who left the team and said he was bullied in the locker room, and Richie Incognito, who was suspended for his actions toward Martin, both took to Twitter to support Sam. Shortly after Sam’s announcement was publicized, Martin tweeted that he has “respect” for the “guts” that Sam showed. Hours later, Incognito tweeted very similar sentiments.

Make it stop!!!!

This guy admits he likes to do things most men find disgusting, and they’re acting like he’s a hero and should get some kind of award.

And you can’t get away from it. I’m surprised they haven’t interrupted programs on all channels to cover this.

There are lots of jobs in the wedding planner, dressmaking, and ice dancing industries for these guys. Leave football to the men.

The media circus over Sam is only going to get worse from here. I’m sick of it already and he hasn’t even been drafted yet.

There’s nothing not to support. He can do whatever he wants. What I don’t support is our new 365 day a year hyper-focus on this issue. I wish the guy good luck in his football career, like most anyone else in the draft.

Oh, what a hero! A football player who comes out and proclaims he desires to play in other men’s poop! Let the world rejoice! Like Michelle-O said, an “inspiration!”

America has fully descended into madness.

Sick, depraved madness.

Okay, so let him go to the Dolphins.

Washington should draft this guy and change their name to Fags.

Are they going to have to provide him with a separate locker/shower room? Except, when they play in California.

With him ranked 110 in the draft before this, and if the NFL teams are honest about not wanting circuses (like they call Tebow), he might have announced himself out of the draft. It might have been his intent. He can then sue and get enough to never have to play.

It also makes sense that those two would support him. Their “troubles” sounded like a gay lover spat anyway.

Maybe he won’t get drafted?

It is one thing to share a locker room with a man who is excited by the naked male form but keeps it to himself.

Quite another when there is a known pervert in the locker room!

c’mon now....do you REALLY think some NFL player is going to come out in public and say he does NOT support Sam?

He’d be hitting the waiver wire quicker than you can say “Tim Tebow”.

I bet he moves up in the draft. A lot of teams want to be the first to have an openly gay player. They don’t want to have an openly Christian player.

I can all but guarantee that he will get drafted.

1) He's a very good football player.

2) Not drafting him would unleash all hell from the LGBT-EIEIO "community" over the NFL's blatant homophobia.

I dunno, it seems that the Raiders or the 49ers would be THE place for this guy to end up (pardon the pun).

However, as long as people get all up in arms every time some pseudo-celebrity "comes out", the Lame Stream Media will not only continue to push this crap in our face, but, as the national radio "top of the hour" newscasts are doing, they make it their lead story, complete with breathless announcers trumpeting what a glorious day this is for tolerance in the NFL.

I'm probably in the vast minority here, but if the guy can do his job, I couldn't care less what he does behind closed doors with other people of consenting age.

There’s plenty not to support. And the problems goes much further than the “hyper-focus” — the issues also include forcing the citizens to service and support homosexual behavior, disrupting gender conventions for bathrooms, promotion of sodomy in education, etc.

I’m sure you want to be as fair as one can possibly be, but your first two statements are not sound.

Slight extension to my comment:

I don’t care what someone does behind closed doors, AS LONG AS THEY DON’T GET ALL IN MY FACE ABOUT IT.

He would be very disruptive to any locker room or company.

Also, the constant AID blood testing and what if he infects another player.

We have a stylist who is like part of the family. Of course he’s gay. I’ve been friends with him for ten years.

We have never talked about sex.

So, it’s just not an issue.

I don’t talk to my friends about sex, they’re ladies and gentlemen. so it’s not an issue.

It’s a problem when we wish our pres was like the Russian KGB president would
