In the less than 48 hours since Michael Sam was drafted to the St. Louis Rams Saturday night, sales of his jersey have already soared to No. 2 out of all of the NFL rookies drafted, OutSports reported. This is unprecedented for a Day 3 pick, let alone a seventh round pick, to crack the top five rookies sold following Draft weekend, NFL spokesperson Joanna Hunter told the publication. In other words, the jersey sales are significant because Sams became available 48 hours later than those of the other four players in the top five best-sellers.
As of Monday morning, sales of Sams jersey ranked second behind Johnny Manziel of the Cleveland Browns who was drafted in the first round and ahead of three other players drafted far ahead of him: Jadeveon Clowney of the Houston Texans, Teddy Bridgewater of the Minnesota Vikings, and Blake Bortles of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Just hours after Sams selection, it was reported that the NFL was scrambling to fulfill a ridiculous quantity of request for Sams jersey.

As couples, they are usually DINKS. Dual income, no kids.
Michael Sams, the first openly queer player cut by the NFL.
I hope you are right. However, I predict that the liberal hell holes (which is where most NFL teams are located) will threaten to burn anyone at the stake who dares to go against the gay agenda. The media will follow this mantra as well - anyone opposing the gay agenda will be put in the worst light and destroyed if possible. Like their fag-filled predecessors that made up the leadership of the Brownshirts, the gaystapo is a very real danger.
‘Outsports reported’! Anything else need be said?
Yeah, the speculative market. Reminds of when NC passed a law raising fines on drug dealers if they didn’t have a new drug stamp on their illegal product.
The only buyers were stamp collectors and those wanting to get in on the future scarcity of the stamps since, sure enough, the idea bombed in less than a year.
The market speaks, but it isn’t speaking my language.
“The market is speaking”
Indeed.
I don’t know why this should surprise anyone, in a country where the majority supports gay *marriage*, for crying out loud. After redefining marriage, a gay football player by itself seems almost quaint.
“notice: no NFL confirmation on that story.”
Not exactly true; the NFL doesn’t ever release raw numbers but notice that a named NFL spokesperson went on record gushing over the sales ranking.
"Ridiculous" amounting to exactly two percent of the American populace.
Insanity.
Does he get a cut of the profits?
I’m thisclose to saying “Goodf*****gbye” to the NFL. It’s beyond ridiculous: Glorifying a fudgepacking bitch with an attitude.
Now the Rams will become sainted in the fagula community, just like Subaru.
Ping to 74.
Habs push the Bruins to game 7. The other day on the train I saw a guy and his hot blond girlfriend decked out in Habs gear. They didn’t sound like hosers.
Blackhawks/Wild game 6 tonight
BOS played TERRIBLE last night. TERRIBLE.
Overall, this is the best NHL playoffs ever, IMHO.
“Fargo” tonight.
Rangers beat the Penguins in Pitt, will face Bruins/Habs winner.
We know now at least one Original Six team will be in the Stanley Cup Finals.
