The homosexual agenda is starting to unravel, as I see it. This whole event, a very public spectacle, has turned normal Americans into “homophobes” for simply voicing an opinion. It is now considered disrespectful for one to voice dissent. America’s darkest days are nearing.

I don't see how it's unraveling....looks to me like it's picking up steam and advancing.

What I am wondering is why more lower draft selections did not declare them self gay, whether they are or not. It was already set up that if Sam was not selected it was because he was gay. This virtually assured him being selected by someone to cover the NFL’ s rear.

There were several other players with better performance numbers and stats than Sam, and they were not drafted. No one speaks about that. Because Sam is gay, he possibly took a spot from someone who deserved to be drafted. I dare say his chances of being cut are nil. This is the real problems people have with the gays. Not their gayness, but the special accommodations made for them. Just ask anyone in the military.

The greatest coup could have been Jadaveon Clowney declaring himself gay, whether he was or not. His personal endorsement could have triple. I guarantee he could have made $200 million in endorsements his first year. He is not gay, but financially and career supporting, he would have been better off to be gay.

Gay is a positive now, not a negative.

That’s what the NFL wants people to believe, but I still suspect privately, at least 90% of the players are disgusted with it.

Sam was drafted by the St. Louis Rams as the 249th pick in the seventh round.

Why Mr. or Miss. Sam decided the world needed to see him kiss on Film is beyond me. The boy got his wish to play in the NFL but that was not enough. He had to force his sexuality on the world. Why the Gay agenda is to purport this on the world is outrageous. I don’t care what goes on in his private world Never been a Rams fan and prob never will! As far as the suspension The NFL is totally nutz!

Meaning it’s no longer being pushed surreptitiously. It’s right out in the open and they’re daring us to challenge them.

Sam knows his NFL career will be very short, so he want to make himself an icon in the short time he has....I suspect he’ll try to enter politics or go into the entertainment industry afterwards.

” If advertisers and sponsors and them, they don’t want to endorse them or something like that, then that’s the price you clearly was willing to pay and you have to pay it,” Smith explained. “

Huh? English as a second language?

I agree. At least 90% are disgusted with that behavior. I bet they don’t have a problem with playing with him. But some do now. It’s the NFL that has to be all in on this, least they be persecuted.

I think Rams management after they saw Sam and his “friend’s” actions, must have thought to themselves, ‘My God, what have we just done?’

Strongly feel that the network asked the boys to stage that kiss. It was so over the top, it was not natural.
Wonder why HGTV wasn’t there. Understand HGTV will run a story showing the boys finding a house together in St. Louis.

The only surprise to me is that every player didn’t tweet “Eeewww!” when they saw that pic.

If the whole team voiced negatively over this, would there be a game?
This is not teamwork. The Team needs to jump on this issue to see how they
selectively enforce their re-education.

IMHO, having a visceral reaction isn’t homophobic — more like homobarfic.

This is just plain common sense. Smith tends to be a liberal, but he’s not a down-the-line lib. (He has appeared on Sean Hannity’s program from time to time.)

Needless to say, I agree with him on this.

If a homosexual commentator were aghast at a heterosexual couple kissing and expressed that on nationwide TV, would he be suspended?

Of course not -- he'd be promoted.

Unfortunately, Sam is cut-proof and immune from criticism, simply due to his "orientation."
