....While Sam is a really good player -- not a great one -- the NFL is promoting him as one of the biggest spectacles at the combine....
The NFL is promoting it that way because a lot of people are interested in seeing Sam’s workout.

Sorry, forgot to add the sarcasm tag to my previous post!
The gay Missouri guy was here for the NFL combine.
So he has this big press conference Saturday with 60 reporters and says “I wish people would just treat me like any other football player”
WTF?? Why not just keep your mouth shut in the first place.
His weight lifting horrible for a defensive lineman.
He is a Linebacker but he is too slow for that position. One brave person tweeted that his path to the NFL is too work on being on the kickoff team.
When a player got slapped on the butt, it was a way to celebrate a good play.
With Michael Sam it could be construed as sexual harassment.
Happened to be visiting someone who was watching news on an ABC affiliate. Had an interview where he was whining that he wanted to be judged as a football player, not a gay football player. IIRC, he told everyone he was gay. If he didn’t want to talk about it, he shouldn’t have talked about it. IMHO.
This is a commie tactic - to infect just a part so that you think that it is the whole.
What real guy is gonna want to play a gay sport?
He won’t be a tight end for long.
“He is a Linebacker but he is too slow for that position. One brave person tweeted that his path to the NFL is too work on being on the kickoff team.”
Yup, he will be a special teamer at best. He is just not that good!

Do you mean if a ‘straight’ player slaps ‘ITS’ butt
OR (maybe even worse)
If IT slaps a ‘straight’ players butt.
One would/could be sexual assault OR sexual harassment.
It gets harder(?) to keep the facts straight(?) every day.
While ‘they’ may not target IT, surely those that choose to ‘pal up’ with IT will be a target and Lord help the player that stands to close to him in the huddle.
Of course, they are making moves to stop the trash talk so....
If IT makes it and some other ‘confused souls’ - those not sure if they are M or F or Other - will put new meaning into the old saying “Why not put dresses on them and let them hold hands in the huddle”.
Make Alex Karras not only correct but (probably) wanting him to punch another horse.
At least he didn’t have to see this, but he did sort of ‘predict’ it.....
so the F’ in NFL stands for fag now?
Sams combine workout has been a total flop....4.91 seconds in the forty while most 280 defensive lineman were running in the 4.6’s and 4.7’s (Sam weighs 260lbs), 17 reps on the bench press (24 was the average for dlineman), 25 inch vertical jump (only 3 were worse- 330-pound Louis Nix was 25.5 inches) and he looked awful in drills...
And there you have the reasons for him “coming out” before the combine and draft. In the vernacular of the NFL, Sam is a “tweener,” too small to play DT, a bit short for DE and a tad slow for OLB. He was looking like a late-round draft choice, and I imagine there were plenty of NFL GMs willing to take a pass on him—maybe offer a free agent contract.
Now, as the “first openly gay draft prospect,” Sam is almost certain to be drafted, probably in round three. There are plenty of “progressive” front offices in the league who would give him a shot, just for the favorable p.r. And once he’s on a roster, it will be more difficult to get rid of him, and risk being labeled a homphobe—or worst.
As I posted previously on FR, Michael Sam’s career will be much longer that it would/should be, thanks to his emergence from the closet. You might say that Sam “gayed” his way into the NFL, just as Jayson Collins has resurrected his NBA career by coming out.
That’s because all those scouts are “homophobic”...
;-)
“There are plenty of “progressive” front offices in the league who would give him a shot”
another words he’ll play ten years with the pittsburgh steelers....
There’s a field behind the arena where gays hang out.
This gives the “F” in NFL an entirely new meaning!
I asked my wife the rhetorical question this morning: “Why do they want to force people to go against their religion?”
Then I asked “And why are muslims exempt?”
The only possible solution is to destroy the country.
Then I ask “Why does the left want to give their kids a country that won’t offer them the opportunities they had?”
Great minds think alike!
I guess the stopwatches are as well.
Yes. You see, the stopwatches are Swiss, and it is a well established fact that the Swiss are homophobic.
