Michael Sam: I never wanted to come out the way I did
New York Post (through GQ Magazine) ^ | November 24, 2014 | Stephanie Smith

Michael Sam, the NFL’s first openly gay player, would have preferred not to come out the way he did before the NFL draft last year.

“If I had it my way, I never would have done it the way I did, never would have told it the way I did,” says Sam, a former all-star at the University of Missouri, in GQ’s latest issue.

The article says he is an NFL player. That’s news to me.

Well hell, isn’t that what we all do? When reporting to a new job, the first thing you do is tell all your coworkers and higher managers all about your sexual preferences and practices.

By the way, even if he did make the pros, he would certainly not have been the first homosexual NFL player. Not by a long shot.

The difference with the ones before him is that they kept their mouths shut about their personal life and kept their focus on football and making the team.

Had Michael Sam kept his focus on football, instead of allowing his sexual desires become the subject of a media frenzy, he might be a player today.

Well, the article was written by a chick. What do they know?

Buyers remorse for selling himself as gay to the MSM for mega bucks and finding the vast majority really don’t care for homos as much as the MSM portrays (probably because they’re noticing the high rate of pedophelia among their ranks)?

“If I had it my way, I never would have done it the way I did,

In other words - I'm a victim! Even though I arranged everything, I still made myself a victim!

Exactly. There are people who I have worked with for 25 years who don't even know I'm married and have two kids. And why should they? It's none of their darn business unless I decide to tell them.

This "in your face" approach by the homosexuals is doing them far more harm than good. Why would anybody want to have themselves be publicly defined by their sexual practices?

BS..then why did he do it that way. In that photo of him kissing his guy pal nobody was twisting your arm. What about him and that reality show?

He seemed to be enjoying himself when he was stuffing cake all over his ‘boyfriend’ on national TV

He came out exactly the way he wanted.

Using his sex habits to land a position he did not deserve.

He got fame and fortune all because likes to diddle other dudes. Totally willing to be used as a tool by the social justice warriors to get there all the quicker.

Trying to extend his 15 minutes. Considering no team has shown interest in him since Dallas cut him from the practice squad he is most likely through as a NFLer.

I think what makes him angry is that ESPN and the MSM told us that we needed to care about this and it turned out nobody really cared.

Bullsqueeze. You (Michael Sam) went along with the whole media circus and actively participated in it. You did exactly what you wanted to do thinking that it would open a multitude of doors to you. You actively participated in being pimped.
