Whitlock pointed out that it seems like Sam is taking advantage of his position and its evident by him selling his own merchandise online:
I feel duped. Again, hes got a website up selling t-shirts its a merchandise store. This all looks like a cash grab more than a guy that wants to be a great football player as he has said. I dont wanna come down too hard on Michael Sam, he comes from a very difficult background with his family and as we saw on draft day he was not surrounded by family as most people are on draft day, he was surrounded by two of his handlers and his boyfriend. You have to wonder if hes not being manipulated and influenced because everyone that I know that knows him as a football player says hes very passionate about football, but here he is now as a 7th-round pick, a guy who is a longshot to make the roster, hes now involving himself with a reality TV show, hes got a website up hawking t-shirts, his agents cut a deal to be producers on this show, his publicist cut a deal to be a producer on this show, again it just doesnt pass the smell test in terms of authenticity. Its disappointing because I think whoever is maneuvering him needs to understand, the most important thing he has to do is make the football team. If he doesnt make the football team all their causes, concerns about the LGBT community, the selling of merchandise, it all goes away.
Whitlock also admitted that if he was a Rams decision-maker, hed consider cutting Sam immediately.

I’d bet my next paycheck that these sissy handlers of his don’t even know that he has to make the team yet lol!
“Why does token gay come to mind. Lets see if he can play football too.”
The most disgusting thing is that while these perverts can’t donate blood (because of the nasty things they transmit to each other - of which AIDS is only one), we’ve basically let them into two fields where it is almost guaranteed that blood will be coming into contact with other people: the military and football. Who wants to be lined up across from this freak as he leaks on the field? Who would want to be the team doctor?
In the past “pioneers” would talk about how much pressure was on them to perform because they were representing a whole race or gender or whatever; nothing like that here. He is a token homo, and as another FReeper put it so well, a “professional homosexual” (like Ellen).
Great Scott! I never thought of that angle and I’m sure the general public, many like me, have forgotten the HIV epidemic of a few years past.
Yes, I believe the NHS said the HIV virus is transmitted through the exchange of body fluids, specifically blood. Wonder how the media is going to handle this scenario since football is a contact sport and blood does get splattered from time to time?
Wonder how the St. Louis Rams off the field grunts are going to handle the bloody towels and equipment. They may have to get HAZMAT training and equipment. This might end up costing the NFL an arm and a leg. Also the Rams probably need to lawyer up before the first lawsuit is filed.
And Oprah and her friends in showbiz need to tell us how they are going to play down this situation. Last I heard, OWN has decided to cancel their plans for Sam’s début in showbiz.
Liberals continue to amaze me with their lack of common sense and respect for the law of unintended consequences.
I figure the NFL will make a special roster excemption for him........the teams with gay players can retain 55+ on the roster, the other teams 54.
The “Sam I Ram A Guy Between The Hams” show has been postponed. My guess is that if he is cut it will be too early for the show to even film more than a couple of episodes.

I’ve posted (many times) on PFT that it’s only a matter of time when a normal/straight gets AIDS from the homosexual, AIDS infected blood on the field.
The wrongful death lawsuits will quickly bankrupt the teams and NFL.
Not surprising, Florio et al quickly deletes my posts.
LOL
LOL to gay football league responses
.....at least the Clev coach/GM had the gravitas to tell Johnny Football to knock all the crap off......act like a pro
Why does token gay come to mind. Lets see if he can play football too.
I’m sorry I didn’t answer your original question in my last reply.
I was thinking of the “token quarterbacks” in the league who can’t remember where they are (critical downs or time remaining) or how to execute the plays (in his lost playbook) when the offensive coach calls them. They could f*ck up a quarterback sneak and do it at the worst time.
In my mind he was drafted and billed as the “first gay player” drafted into the NFL. His football skills were pretty much ignored. To me that is a “token” player. Time will tell if he has the skills to survive in the NFL. I hope the NFL will not give any special treatment to him. BTW, he is not the first by any means.
Tom Landry and Vince Lombardi are spinning in their graves.
OK, everyone stay calm, I am now searching for my fireproof jock strap. I know have offended someone out there. :)
Maybe Whitlock is a regular reader here on FreeRepublic. I've been saying for weeks that Michael Sam has no interest in playing football, and that he's pursuing a more lucrative career path as a professional homosexual instead.
Getting beyond that what happens when an opposing player's assignment is to make a hole for his RB or QB to complete the route and the only way he can do it it is to knock the defender out of the game? Would he go lighter on Sam so he doesn't get the backlash if he does knock him out? It would almost be like beating up a girl. Players shouldn't have to consider such things.
His first guest will probably be Barry showing us how to hang drapes. Following that, Sam can show us how to arrange flowers, play a little classical music, and maybe we’ll give a tour of his “love nest” too.
Liberace had taste and talent, but he didn’t play football.
Somehow, in my mind, queers and football don’t mix.
The lawyers and their paid medical expert witnesses will show the NFL if there is a way, this can happen.
By his own standards Mr. Whitlock is obviously a homophobe.
They can pay him a few million a year to hang out in the locker room and to shower with the other men.
A Racist AND a Homophobe.
MR Whitlock will now be announcing girl slow pitch softball live from Lubbock Texas on ESPN325.
