Twenty stories about an athlete whom may not be drafted, with the majority of scouts saying they wouldn't draft him at all? Check your gay privilege.

The NFL draft — the league’s Radio City-staged, nationally televised, endlessly hyped off-season spectacle — opens Thursday night, and for the first time an openly gay player will be waiting for a phone call.
But it could be a long wait for Michael Sam, the University of Missouri defender and all-American who came out in February. Draft analysts say he might not be selected until the last picks are made on Saturday — and perhaps not at all.
If that happens, Sam could still sign with a team as an undrafted free agent and play on Sundays this fall. But it would pose a public-relations problem for the NFL, the most profitable league in America, which has never had an openly gay player.
“For them not to select him would be very problematic,” said Cyd Zeigler, the founder of OutSports.com, which published an insider account of Sam’s coming out three months ago. Fairly or not, he said, “If he isn’t selected, it’s a public black eye on the league.”

“If he isn’t selected, it’s a public black eye on the league.”
No, that means he’s not talented enough to play in the NFL. Just because you’re sexual deviant doesn’t mean you have the right to play pro football.
No team is going to draft him...They don’t want the liability of being the ones who have to cut him.
If nobody calls, it will be epic
He’s not that good. Nobody cares except the homo mafia.
Somebody hypothesized a few days ago that he won’t be drafted. If he’s drafted then dropped, all the crazies would scream “homophobia”.
I said this when he “came out”. His draft stock was rapidly dropping at the time and it was an attempt to try to raise that, or to have a legal standing to sue for discrimination.
“””Somebody hypothesized a few days ago that he won’t be drafted. If he’s drafted then dropped, all the crazies would scream “homophobia”.”””””
And the owner would have to sell the team immediately to a fag.
From what I’ve seen, the guy isn’t an NFL caliber player.
His only hope was to come-out, get the sports media on his side, pummel some hapless team into drafting him, then ride the bench until his contract expired.
Can he speak Canadian?
I know what I’d LIKE to “call” him but I don’t want to risk an IRS audit.
I LIKE, this post...
Which is, of course, preposterous. When the orifice players use for sex matters to which team wins an NFL game, it will matter whether Sam is drafted. Since it never does and never will, this is simply more liberal lies.
Or to Oprah.
Maybe his boyfriend will call.
Yeah, he was crap at the combine.
Maybe they can launch a WNFL for him to star in
