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

Posted on 02/10/2014 11:31:42 AM PST by SoFloFreeper

...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.

Unfortunately not everyone is like your friend. It’s “in your face time” for the political gays and there are more and more of them. Had they remained in the closet it would not have been the problem we currently are putting up. Wouldn’t mind seeing more Politicians acting like Putin on some issues.

This hurts his draft status. He was a middle of the pack draft pick and lots of those guys don't make the team. Beside the media circus that would follow him, how do you cut him if he doesn't work out?

The biggest threat to his draft status isn't anti gay feeling but the fear of the gaykk going after the team if they have to release him or don't play him enough.

What team wold want to sign up for that headache?

Guts? Its getting to where it would take more guts to come out as a heterosexual, although we don’t because it’s nobody’s business.

*** 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 know, I know. In our politically correct, morally degenerate society, one must applaud a homo. I don’t care if this guy is a queer. I don’t care if he plays in the NFL, NBA, NHL, performs opera, or does surgeries.

I’m just sick to death of every outlet, radio, tv, web, going crazy over this guy like he cured cancer. Let’s be frank, he admitted he is a puffer. Not exactly an honor in my book.

Makes me recall my days as an infantry trainee during WWII at Camp Hood (it was such once). My bunk was on the second floor near the showers. At the other end of the floor was an older, beefy draftee who liked to sachee to the shower naked with a towel over his shoulder. As I recall he had been a bank employee. Most of us ‘boys’ wrapped the towels around our waist when going to and from the shower room. The ‘boys’ got clued in on the ‘bank’ man by the platoon sgt. who told us to stay away from him. Other field incidents with the guy told me he was an unusual fellow. I never did understand how the guy was made standard bearer for the platoon but he sure had the routine steps down.

Is Michael Sam a (AH-OO-GAAH!) tight end?

Romans 1:

26For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural,

27and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.

28And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper,

29being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips,

30slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents,

31without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful;

32and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them.

Everybody is so enamored that the president is gay - now it's all about bum rushing the moment while it lasts. After Barry, probably a straight white male will be elected and the enthusiasm for queer lifestyles will fade.

I predict this rodeo clown goes in Round 1 to Minnesota.

There’s plenty not to support.

I understand your point. I am fairly laissez fare when it comes to this issue. If people want to do whatever they want to do in their personal life, I am mostly fine with it. If two people decide to be in a relationship, it's really none of my business. When it comes to government, I am not opposed to a legal union and the contractual benefits for homosexuals to match the legal benefits a married person gets. I am opposed to marriage being changed to accommodate what clearly not the equivalent. In the eyes of government is one thing. Forcing it on religions and individuals who feel otherwise is another. What's going on now is disgusting with the bully tactics of government and the courts. That said, if this player decided to come out publicly, I don't have an issue with it. I have issue with the 24/7 coverage, and the forthcoming propaganda...and the sure to come stories demonizing anyone who disagrees. The fact the guy came out now is interesting because right now, he's a middle round pick and it could potentially damage his earning power. Seeing other players mention it doesn't mean much to me. It's in the news and we are seeing other players who frequently opine making statements about it. I don't have an issue with that in itself.

I actually wondered if Jonathan Martin and Richard Incognito were gay lovers, and that is where the whole controversy between the two of them really stems from.

That is a VERY good point!

I presume that it is still common medical safety practice to prevent blood co-mingling. Pro football players bleed on each other in practice and in games.

This is going to be an interesting series of point - counterpoint assertions/discussions/accusations/lawsuits etc., etc.

Pass the popcorn, please!

Best point made yet about “No draft.”

Back in the day, when I was serving in USS Kitty Hawk (CVA-63), one of my sailors, a monumental screwup and huge PITA, went to a ship’s doc claiming that one day when he bent over in the shower to pick up his soap, he got “hit” from behind.

He was lying, of course, but he wanted out, and he got out — General Discharge under honorable conditions. Gone in two days!

His “assailant” was never Identified, of course.

That’s the way it ought to be today for openly homosexual members of the military.

Martin tweeted that he has “respect” for the “guts” that Sam showed.

So ... what does Martin really "respect": the Anal sodomy or the homosexual fellatio? "Guts"? Interesting choice of words, considering how homosexual men misuse their intestines. I wonder if Martin and Incognito are aware of the plethora of viral, bacterial and parasite infections and diseases which result from such misuse. Perhaps they wish to join in the festivities?

I’m surprised they haven’t interrupted programs on all channels to cover this.

You must have stepped away for a minute.
