“Why does “token gay” come to mind. Let’s see if he can play football too.”
The most disgusting thing is that while these perverts can’t donate blood (because of the nasty things they transmit to each other - of which AIDS is only one), we’ve basically let them into two fields where it is almost guaranteed that blood will be coming into contact with other people: the military and football. Who wants to be lined up across from this freak as he leaks on the field? Who would want to be the team doctor?
In the past “pioneers” would talk about how much pressure was on them to perform because they were representing a whole race or gender or whatever; nothing like that here. He is a token homo, and as another FReeper put it so well, a “professional homosexual” (like Ellen).
Great Scott! I never thought of that angle and I’m sure the general public, many like me, have forgotten the HIV epidemic of a few years past.
Yes, I believe the NHS said the HIV virus is transmitted through the exchange of body fluids, specifically blood. Wonder how the media is going to handle this scenario since football is a contact sport and blood does get splattered from time to time?
Wonder how the St. Louis Rams off the field grunts are going to handle the bloody towels and equipment. They may have to get HAZMAT training and equipment. This might end up costing the NFL an arm and a leg. Also the Rams probably need to lawyer up before the first lawsuit is filed.
And Oprah and her friends in showbiz need to tell us how they are going to play down this situation. Last I heard, OWN has decided to cancel their plans for Sam’s début in showbiz.
Liberals continue to amaze me with their lack of common sense and respect for the law of unintended consequences.
I’ve posted (many times) on PFT that it’s only a matter of time when a normal/straight gets AIDS from the homosexual, AIDS infected blood on the field.
The wrongful death lawsuits will quickly bankrupt the teams and NFL.
Not surprising, Florio et al quickly deletes my posts.

I’m sorry I didn’t answer your original question in my last reply.
I was thinking of the “token quarterbacks” in the league who can’t remember where they are (critical downs or time remaining) or how to execute the plays (in his lost playbook) when the offensive coach calls them. They could f*ck up a quarterback sneak and do it at the worst time.
In my mind he was drafted and billed as the “first gay player” drafted into the NFL. His football skills were pretty much ignored. To me that is a “token” player. Time will tell if he has the skills to survive in the NFL. I hope the NFL will not give any special treatment to him. BTW, he is not the first by any means.
Tom Landry and Vince Lombardi are spinning in their graves.
OK, everyone stay calm, I am now searching for my fireproof jock strap. I know have offended someone out there. :)
