EARTH CITY, Mo. -- The St. Louis Rams released defensive end Michael Sam on Saturday, according to multiple league sources.

Sam's efforts to become the first openly gay player in NFL history came up just short in a competition against undrafted rookie Ethan Westbrooks.

Westbrooks is one of nine defensive linemen to land a roster spot.

Sam officially hit waivers Saturday at 4 p.m. ET when all NFL teams had to trim their rosters down to the league-mandated 53 players. From there, the other 31 teams will have 24 hours to put in a claim for Sam.

It is a slam dunk that this is not the last we have heard about this homosexual and his attention seeking.

Expect 24/7 coverage for several weeks, with accusations flying.

Is Sams a tight end or wide receiver.

FYI the Montreal Alouettes do have the CFL rights to Sam.

It is unbelievable to even turn on a TV in St. Louis. The NFL has become the GFL! Everything is about Michael Sam “The Gay Player.” You would think he is the only player on the team. I will not be watching any GFL football forevermore!

Sodomites (they are most assuredly NOT “gay”) are all just one small step away from being active pedophiles preying on innocent children. Unless they are restored to normalcy through Christian therapy, they need to be banished as criminals.

The largely gay-run U.S. Mainstream media is going to rip the NFL for this....

When I saw the headline I didn’t know if that was good or bad from Mike’s perspective.

Mike had 6 tackles to lead the team, though it might not been against 1st string offensive linemen that was as good as could have been asked for.

I think he did better than was expected.

The person I feel sorry for in all of this is the guy who may have been good enough but didn’t have a personal all media sales force to get him on a team. Political Correctness won the spot.

So which team is the NFL going to pressure this time to take Sam?

All the pundits are saying that he played well enough to wind up on another team. So you’re going to hear that ad nauseum.

He should have kept quiet about his gayness. Shut up and gay.

If that happens, I mean if St Louis gets NO credit for even drafting him, and quite the contrary, is condemned for cutting him - then what team will ever be inclined to draft a gay player in the future?

I thought some player on Arizona State just came out.

So now he’s on the clock. (Yes that’s ‘clock’)

Gay or straight he's always been, at best, a 6th or 7th rounder and marginal to make a team.

They to change their name to the ST. Louis Bigots!

Commissioner Goodell ought to punish them and then punish himself and then punish them again!

I am outraged at this outrage!

They cut him because of his shower habits...with a knife!

How can this be?? The media says he is a great player because he’s black and a butt nut.
