If I’m a business owner of any kind, I don’t want distractions. Everything about Sams — college career, college stats, pro-camp stats, everything — says he’s a lower middle player. That’s why he wasn’t grabbed up.
So, why would you want a guy who probably won’t make your team but will be a huge distraction, and a media-magnet with an elite support group who will constantly be clamoring to force you to play a lower performing player?
I agree with Dungee.
I will give the man, credit, however, for making the conversation about his sex life, rather than about his skillset.
IMO, it's a smart move, since his skillset isn't professional caliber. He can either bludgeon a pro team into keeping him around, or if they don't, then it's because they're a bunch of bigots and he can twist that into a lawsuit or a moneymaking job as "The First Gay Football commentator", or somesuch.
He's taken a near certain failure and turned it into a win-win situation. Well played.
