FULL TITLE: Michael Sam was dropped by the NFL because 'no one wants the distraction', claims Buffalo Bills star as gay football player tweets upbeat message

Michael Sam is no longer attached to an NFL team and none of them appear to want to pick him up because his sexual orientation causes too much distraction, claims a Buffalo Bills star.

Offensive lineman Eric Wood goes on, more specifically, to blame the media for focusing on the personal life of the NFL's first openly gay draft pick.

'Blame that on espn,' Wood tweeted in response to Sam's inability to find an NFL home. 'No one wants the distraction.'

Wood's comment came after sports commentator Ross Tucker publicly wondered on Twitter why 'Michael Sam performed much better than most expected and still isn't even on a practice squad?'

It’s probably he couldn’t play at the level of the NFL.

Just wait until the LGBT gets going on this - blatant anti-gay bashing and all that ...

[doorgunner69]

If the homo could have played better and kept his personal perversions private, he might have made a career.

Now he is just a joke.

Tony Dungy was right...and they tried to vilify him.

Maybe he just wasn’t good enough?

Many far better players have been cut already - his dismissal was inevitable.

is it OK to LOL ???

Offensive linemen should be seen and not heard!

[dragonblustar]

Because the Rams don’t want to be the butt of all the NFL jokes.

If he had even an outside shot, I think the BS over his showering did him in.

If Sam showed any ability to play on special teams he would have made the cut.

You cannot waste a roster spot on a backup defensive player who cannot play on special teams. That’s the bottom line.

Yes. Here it is.

[Truth29]

Sam was cut because he didn’t perform well enough, but I wonder if there is a problem with Eric Wood and he is preparing his defense.

Blame that on President Obama who blew him... a kiss from across the room.

Aw, shoot. Now I won’t be able to find out more about this guy’s personal private sexual behavior. It’s really the only reason anybody cares about football, after all.

He lied. He claimed to be a tight end.
