Professional sports are all about performance - you either perform well enough to make the team, or you don't...bottom line...perhaps Sam is the first openly gay player to be drafted onto a major league team. but I doubt he's the first gay player...and I'm sure on some of those teams, other players knew or recognized their teammate was gay...and didn't say anything about it publicly because they were teammates, they care about each other as brothers and they recognize their teammate earned the right to play with them...stop with this identity garbage, especially as it pertains to professional sports...the playing field is the most color-blind, gender-blind, identity-blind places on Earth, you're either talented enough to contribute, or you're not on the team...bottom line...

When you post a homo thread, It’s mandatory to place FAG ALERT on the headline..

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Did he ever actually play in an actual NFL game?

[House Atreides]

Reflects on his experience? Just failure.

[BamaDi]

This idiot is still trying to force himself on an NFL team by screaming “I’m gay so I deserve a slot on your team”....not working.....LOL

I hate to admit, one of my childhood Heros, Jerry Smith (Redskins receiver) was a BF - died of AIDS. Guess we all have our dark side.

Dave Kopay actually played in the NFL in the 70’s. He never said anything about being gay until his career had been over for three years. And it wasn’t that well received back then.

This Sam guy was the biggest nothingburger on the planet, just trying to ride his sexuality for all it was worth.

[Fungi]

Fail. Fail in the sport. Fail in his personal life. Fail in his intimate life. At what point does a fool not realize that his reason for being is wrong?

[DAC21]

Apparently this guy will never go away, he is gay, we get it. He was a bust in football, the MSM keeps dragging his corpse out.

When I went off to BCT,age 19 and naive,different friends told me,jokingly I always assumed,not to drop the soap.Well,I bet this fruit's teammates didn't need to be reminded.

as part of Sexuality Month at the University at Albany. Sigh, everything is gay 24/7 on college campuses today.

[doorgunner69]

Does he share how many hookups he had in the showers?

[manc]

who gives a crap, no pun intended.

[Flavious_Maximus]

“I was cut from the Rams, even though I was in the top ...”

I always thought he liked taking it from the bottom. Now we know he likes his fudge from the top.

[Trillian]

The attention and what he believes is the sports' discomfort with homosexuality ultimately destroyed his career.
This is the only thing that goes through his mind. Homo this homo that. Maybe if he concentrated more on playing the game, he'd actually do a good job.

[Popman]

Sam was at best a marginal DE.

He lacked size and speed to make most teams as a bench warmer.

He had a shot, he didn’t cut it...

[cpdiii]

stop with this identity garbage, especially as it pertains to professional sports...the playing field is the most color-blind, gender-blind, identity-blind places on Earth, you're either talented enough to contribute, or you're not on the team...bottom line...

If you can push a 280 pound offensive lineman out of the way and sack the quaterback the rest of the team does not give a damn who or what you are sleeping with. Performance is the only standard they care about.

[Jim Noble]

I do not believe Michael Sam was ever an NFL player.

[IrishBrigade]

the playing field is the most color-blind, gender-blind, identity-blind places on Earth

have you recently examined the racial makeup of your basic NFL team...?

[soycd]

If your are not following islam, there is hope for you.

[dangus]

Michael Sam is not an NFL player, only an NFL recruit. Never played a game.
