A now-retired Super Bowl-winning NFL running back went on a Twitter tirade on Saturday after openly gay 2014 draft pick Michael Sam kissed his boyfriend on television.
Derrick Ward, 33, who was a member of the New York Giants Super Bowl XLII-winning team, didn't hide his disdain for ESPN's decision to air Sam's smooch with boyfriend Vito Cammisano after learning he would become a St. Louis Ram.
'Man U got little kids lookin at the draft,' Ward complained. 'I can't believe ESPN even allowed that to happen.'

LOL
ESPN is now the Extra Special Poofter Network.
Have they announced the new Michael Sam “Reality Show” yet?
what was he picked - number 287? did they have cameras waiting to see who was picked at 288? Or just the “brave” gay player?
And what’s wit ht eh first thing he does is to mince around with his ‘significant other’ and smooch on-camera? Do you ever see the straight players make out with their girlfriends when selected?
And what about people who get PHYSICALLY ILL when they see two men kiss (I am NOT joking- it makes me want to throw up)
[No, for the morons in the crowd- I do not have the same reaction to two women kissing- unless they look like Rosie O’Donnell)
Will the 2014-2015 NFL season become “all pink-all the time”?
Yes.
Monday night just became more profitable for non-football businesses.
Basket ball, dead.
football, dead.
baseball?
hockey?
eventually we will only have CRICKET! (and we saw what that did to the UK)
I went to a rumble once and a hockey game broke out.
My friends from India would love that....They are all fanatical about cricket.
Worse yet, you think this wasn't choreographed.
So who has the pool for how long it takes for Sam to sue the NFL for discrimination when he gets dropped mid season?
You left out Pink October.
Slightly altered the last two words of your great post.
The Green Gay Fudge Packers. They're moving from Green Bay to Madison, Wisconsin, the Berkeley of the Midwest...
Sam complained about not being drafted higher?
I thought that NFL scouts thought this guy was a marginal NFL prospect.
Ok, he is drafted and will go to training camp. But, it’s quite possible that a 7th round draft pick doesn’t make the team when the team breaks camp.
In his case, maybe pressures will be brought to bear, to make sure that he does make the team out of training camp???
Since the media is liberal, they will continue with the idea that Sam is the Jackie Robinson of homosexuals.
I wonder if the Rams would face sanction if Sam makes the team, but doesn’t play a lot??? Carried to its conclusion, the liberals want to see him get a lot of playing time, I’m sure.
If they don’t do something about relief pitchers losing games for starters that have pitched an absolute gem . . . ala Detroit Tiger, et al . . . baseball will be joining that list.
Or something about fat players getting millions and doing jack squat.
Homosexuality is a disorder. No matter how loud or how often they preach it's the same as hetersexuality, few actually believe it. I'd like to give non-homo liberals a lie-detector test and see how many of them think homosexuality is wonderful.
Yep..he whined that he should've been drafted in the first three rounds.
