The media scrutiny will be too high for the Rams to cut him, although his draft position would normally indicate his chances are far from a sure bet.

Watch for him to get a "mysterious" training camp injury and be placed on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list and be out for the entire season.

There no way an umpire would even call a play against him.

That reminds me of another possible issue. What if you have a gay official NOT ONLY working a game involving a gay player, but the official and player have had a homosexual liaison with each other? Don't you think that the official's impartiality on the field would be compromised?

In case you think it's far fetched, it actually did happen in baseball at a Major League level. Former National League umpire Dave Pallone was fired and later wrote a tell-all out-of-the-closet book (appropriately titled "Behind the Mask") about his homosexuality. In that book, he admitted to a gay fling he had with a prominent player whose games he was officiating. (The player, whose name can be figured out with a reasonable degree of probability from the clues in Pallone's book, will not be named here.) The important point is that this was clear conflict of interest that at the very least threatened the integrity of the game on the field, yet, as might be expected of leftists, the nitwits who run baseball never took disciplinary action against either the umpire or the player.

I hope this guy has the worst year of his career just so people can see what a farce this is, then we can say “See he wasn’t picked cause he sucks!” and no pun intended.

I wonder if Sam got cut and blood started coming out, how fast the players would scatter away from him?

Who’s going to seriously block him???

There will be no shortage of 6'5'' 320lb linemen coming around the corner looking to get a shot at Sam's knees. If Sam makes it through the pre-season, I predict that he will incur a season ending injury within the first three games of the season. Sam will then retire and sue the NFL for discrimination and whatever else he can. It is all part of the design.

That is a lot of abnormality dropped on one family.

They must have had a helluva home life as kids.

I don't know any details on their home life, but my guess is that you have a valid point there.

FWIW, there is a rule in college and pro basketball that calls for a player who is bleeding to come out of the game and get bandaged up before he can return. But I don't think you can have it in football because there is so much more bleeding.

“Gay St. Louis And City’s Mayor Welcome Michael Sam With “Open Arms”......

Do you think they would do the same for Tebow?

Don’t presume that this is just about “whining.”

There has been a carefully crafted, exceptionally well orchestrated campaign to mainstream the gay agenda through deliberate use of the victim card and appeals to emotion.

In fact, I think there was an article (there were a couple few threads on it) several months back where gay leaders were actively crowing about how well their plans had worked.

Exactly!!! The Michael Sam story has been a well choreographed chapter in that campaign, utilizing the gay lobby, the leftist sports MSM, the leftist NFL commissioner and team ownerships, Sam himself, and now leftist politicians including Obama and the mayor of St. Louis.

Cross referencing to the LGBT Teacher thread. I’m pretty sure the interview article I cited earlier (without actually recalling where I’d seen it) about this all being planned and orchestrated was about Kevin Jennings.

Then why was he fired?...................

The umpire Pallone claimed he was fired just for being gay, sued baseball, and wound up with a pretty good settlement out of court. He linked up with the gay advocacy lobby and is still pretty much in bed with them, kind of a "gay rights" icon.

He wasn't fired however, until 1988, a few years after that gay fling with the prominent player, so I don't think that had much if anything to do with the firing. The lefties who ran baseball by then might well have blind to the conflict of interest problem caused by a gay umpire having an affair with a gay player whose games he officiated. Nonetheless, it's an issue that can rear its ugly head when you have gay players and gay umpires working in the same milieu. Of course, such a possible problem can never be spoken of in the politically correct circles that predominate in sports management and sports media today, just like discussions of steroids were taboo not many years ago.

Likely Pallone's firing had more to do with an infamous rhubarb he had on the field with Pete Rose, then Cincinnati Reds' manager (before Rose himself got into trouble for alleged gambling on his own team) as a result of a questionable call which cost the Reds the game.

Not long before Pallone was fired, the tabloid New York Post "outed" him and claimed that he was involved in a gay sex ring involving boys. Exactly what caused the firing apparently will never be known, at least publicly.
