Is he a center, that would make a lot of sense...I’m sure he would like a quarterback who takes the snap right under the center..... :)

It's totally absurd for any politician in DC to get his or her nose into this gay football player thing.

Meanwhile, just as inane is the lefty media, even beyond sports, exulting over a football player saying, "I'm gay" and giving this story such high visibility. Of course, Sam wouldn't be the first homosexual player in the NFL, only the first to make a big to-do about it.

Look out for idiotic comparisons in the lefty MSM of Michael Sam to Jackie Robinson.

No, he’s a defensive lineman, I believe.

Risky move on the part of Mr. Sam in announcing his sexual preferences before he has a signed contract.

Most teams don’t want this kind of distraction, football is a very competitive sport.

He would have been better off waiting until training camp and arriving in a dress after the signing bonus check had already cleared.

I think you are wrong. The NFL is in PC auto-bow mode. They now almost have to draft this gay kid, so that they don't have to field charges of homophobia.

Ah, the 'Love that dare not speak it's name' has become the 'Love' that won't shut up.

But I know I am misusing the word "Love". Love wants the best for the object of its affection - no matter what the consequence. Love would not want the object of its affection to live a life of depravity that not only destroys the health of the body, but also destroys the soul. What we are talking about here is selfish, self-indulging, depraved lust. It never satisfies, and only feeds on more and more depravity. What is left at the end is a dead shell. This is not love.

LOL! But few male homosexuals are cross-dressers, and it would be extremely difficult to get a dress to fit him at his size.

You think His Arrogance just wants to get a piece of the action with his praise?

You're absolutely right. The current NFL is run by Democrat team owners with maybe a handful of RINOs sprinkled in. Goodell, the commissar (er, commissioner) is the son of the late RINO US Senator from New York, who was appointed by the late RINO New York governor, Nelson Rockefeller.

I was just making that Tebow analogy to my friend, in regards to the media/cultural reactions. Christianity...bad. Homosex...good.

Just another example of how America has become such a debased sewer. Everything once regarded as good and virtuous is now trashed and vilified, and everything once regarded as vile and degraded is now hailed and celebrated. The whole damn country has become something of an evil “mirror universe” of all it once was.

Really hard these days to even care about the preservation of the republic as it now stands.

If he can play as effectively as his heterosexual counterparts, than let it be known that we are not invested either way. That is the best way to make sure we don’t have to deal with anymore of these coming out parties. The purpose of said parties is to attract attention of any kind. If you complain and whine about how they are ruining the NFL’s masculine culture, you are essentially giving them what they want. So just let it slide and then completely tune it out.

Has Hussein invited him to the white hut yet, for a little “get together”?

The White House? Since when does the First Lady speak for the White House? Thankfully the White House has NOT said anything...yet. Sheesh when Barbara Bush or Laura Bush said anything they did not say “The White House said....” What a crappy article well at least the title is.
