Whitlock pointed out that it seems like Sam is taking advantage of his position and its evident by him selling his own merchandise online:
I feel duped. Again, hes got a website up selling t-shirts its a merchandise store. This all looks like a cash grab more than a guy that wants to be a great football player as he has said. I dont wanna come down too hard on Michael Sam, he comes from a very difficult background with his family and as we saw on draft day he was not surrounded by family as most people are on draft day, he was surrounded by two of his handlers and his boyfriend. You have to wonder if hes not being manipulated and influenced because everyone that I know that knows him as a football player says hes very passionate about football, but here he is now as a 7th-round pick, a guy who is a longshot to make the roster, hes now involving himself with a reality TV show, hes got a website up hawking t-shirts, his agents cut a deal to be producers on this show, his publicist cut a deal to be a producer on this show, again it just doesnt pass the smell test in terms of authenticity. Its disappointing because I think whoever is maneuvering him needs to understand, the most important thing he has to do is make the football team. If he doesnt make the football team all their causes, concerns about the LGBT community, the selling of merchandise, it all goes away.
Whitlock also admitted that if he was a Rams decision-maker, hed consider cutting Sam immediately.

hasn’t played a single game and he’s selling merchandise?? I bet the other players think thats just FABULOUS
Well, no one is expecting the Spanish Inquisition....
Homosexuality and narcissism are best buds.
I bet the person who convinced Fisher to draft him has already cleaned his locker out at the stadium.
Him about if he sucks?
And no play on words.....coulduh used others....
Unless someone in front of him breaks a tibia , he’s gonna be a bench warmer.
Whitlock is the same guy who said something unpopular with this crowd here one time at least. So, this time, perhaps he evens it out a little.

don’t forget, jeff fisher is a fraud himself, and that’s why he drafted sam, for pr. so he wouldn’t cut him because this is what they expected.
Its not ESPN he should worry about; it is the LGBT community that will hurt him the most!
HATER!!! HATE CRIME! ARREST HIM!
“Whitlock pointed out that it seems like Sam is taking advantage of his position and its evident by him selling his own merchandise online: “
Uh, as I’ve pointed this out before, the NFL is gonna shut down the homo-merchandising REAL soon as no NFL employee is allowed to earn a dime outside of their NFL salary UNLESS and UNTIL the NFL approves AND gets a cut of the moolah.
I just don’t imagine a lot of young black men wearing Sam jerseys.
The guy is a fraud.
As long as it’s any team but the Broncos, I say KEEP HIM, KEEP HIM!
Hey, all this LBGT stuff is well and good, but now Sam’s cutting into the NFL’s $$$ flow by selling his own line of products. That’s serious.
If he gets cut I’m sure ESPN will demand he be drafted by the Lingerie League.
I have a feeling that this whole debacle is going to end badly for Mr. Sam and his boyfriend.
ESPN will play the lace card!
“By Monday morning ESPN will have taken Mr. Whitlock to the woodshed. And the beating hell take wont be pretty”
Disagree, Whitlock has the golden key to say anything about anybody with impunity.
