Michael Sam unimpressive at NFL Scouting Combine, struggles in 40-yard dash and weight room
NY Daily News ^ | February 25, 2014 | Ebenezer Samuel

Posted on 02/25/2014 5:34:13 AM PST by C19fan

Michael Sam — who is hoping to become the first openly gay player in NFL history — made a good impression during his media press conference on Saturday. But on on the field Monday he couldn't do the same thing. Sam needed to show he has more athleticism, but the suddenly scrutinized Missouri defensive end struggled to do that.

The NFL is going to pot real fast. They just instituted a brand new rule that says if any other player uses the world’s absolute worst word which is another term for negro the team he’s on gets an automatic 15 yard penalty. That’s right, you are going to be penalized if you say a “bad word”. How long before this rule applies to anyone calling another player a fag? It’s right around the corner. I can just see a black player getting penalized for calling another black a n*****.
He’ll start raising cain and say “oh man, what you talkin’ bout, brothas call each other dat word all de time, it only be a bad word if whitety use it”. Same thing goes for fags, they call each other that all the time and fag and queer are badges of honor. No kidding.

You know what will happen when Sam is drafted in a late round or is not even drafted.

You obviously haven't heard about the latest government program?

AAFQ Affirmative Action for Queers?

The goal of the leftists is to tear down everything America stands for.

NASA - no more space shuttle.

BSA - gays are in like flint.

General Motors.

You name it and it has been compromised.

Let us all give Obama a hearty round of applause.

The main reason why I refuse to buy a new Ford truck. Ford caved into the sodomite agenda a few years ago. I drive Fords, but only the old ones. When my 1969 F250 was made sodomites hadn’t taken over the United States.

If the NFL is now going to select players to promote “diversity” rather than talent; its time to bring back white players on defense!

In the court of Liberal Opinion diversity is a one-way street and white people may never be given anything because they are the root of all evil (according to leftists).

Hadn’t seen his Ford commercials in some time now. Maybe he’s cut ties with them. He’s a good guy though, without a doubt. He has a great Walmart commercial out.

Yes. He was SEC defensive player of the year, these are traditionally first rounders though he was projected even before his announcement to buck the trend and go no earlier than 3rd round and some had him in the 5th. Right there that makes him a “story” for what’s generally an uninteresting event.

Best thing he ever did for his career/income prospects was to make himself the posterchild for perceived NFL-Macho-Homo-Bias.

When he goes undrafted he will have a very profitable career blaming Anti Homo sentiment on his inability to get naked in NFL locker rooms.

That's all he wanted anyways.

Thing is, even the most progressive owner knows that they would have an exploding cigar if they draft him. They couldn’t cut, bench, or trade him once he’s on the team without a major backlash from the very people they were trying to appease by choosing him. Best case I see is that nobody picks him so all teams are to blame. His combine performance will help passing on drafting him.

Wait.

Are you saying that, if he doesn’t get drafted he can’t hit the racism lobby ?

Clearly the NFL’s standards need to be changed to accommodate members of oppressed classes. Did you ever notice there isn’t a single wheelchair patient on any NFL team? Well, on the field, anyway.

One would hope that his, ‘coming out’, was not a cynical attempt at helping his draft selection.
d be
He is presently undersized, by NFL standards, for the defensive line. A stud in college does not necessarily translate into stud status in the NFL.

I think that Sam’s coming out may have been done to force whichever team that drafts him from cutting him. I would be surprised if he gets drafted before the third round.

It will be interesting to see if Goodell gives him a big ol’ hug upon being selected.

If they do not play him they may be accused of discrimination.

Sad side story,

Roy Simmons, ex-NY Giant who came out as gay and HIV positive, dies at 57 Simmons, who had recently been hospitalized with pneumonia, went out of his way during his NFL career to hide his homosexuality, all the while frequenting New York City's gay bathhouses and paying for sex with male hookers. He ended up a homeless prostitute in San Francisco, earning $15 a trick, and continued to be conflicted with his homosexuality later on in life. - http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/giants/simmons-ex-giant-gay-hiv-positive-dead-57-article-1.1700509#ixzz2uM3GGqiH

I thought that was still a proposal, while they can offend God and Christians with impunity.

And if gay isn’t a choice, then it is a disorder, and as such doesn’t anyone with a disease have the right to seek treatment without harassment?

His combine numbers are barely as good as his offensive opponents
