NEW YORK -- It took nearly the entire draft, but Michael Sam and the NFL finally made history.

The St. Louis Rams used the 249th pick in the seventh round to select Sam, who has officially become the league's first openly gay player.

Being picked by St. Louis means Sam will stay in the state where he played college football as a standout at the University of Missouri.

if he didnt want it to be a distraction - we wouldnt know about it.

He certainly wouldn't have swapped spit with his boyfriend when he was announced.

the only nfl player to go back to the tsa for thirds.

Was that a Freudian slip? Did you really mean turds? How grotesque.

“The Ram brass will be called homophobic…Desmond Tutu will finally go to Hell…Chris Matthews will feel another thrill up his leg…Bill Clinton will want him as an intern…Harry Reid will offer him some free BLM farm land… The Mooche will swoon in vain over him…”

I excerpted the best of the best that you posted. All going to hell in Pelosi’s handbasket! (Pelosi too, of course)... And can’t you just visualize Desmond in his tu-tu! Hell hath no fury...and the above along with a few more will certainly experience it...

You know, I’ve told that to many conservatives, and I’ve found that their commitment to the cause doesn’t extend to defunding the MSM/sodomite media because it might disrupt their entertainment.

Fortunately he isn’t in NASCAR.

I don’t know how many times I could bear to hear his name attached to the words “Loose on entry”.

IIRC, the NFL merchandise shop had a policy in which the word "gay" was banned from customized jerseys. I searched online for an article and there are sites that mention this, though in the past. Odd considering at least one player has that name.

I have no problem with whoever does what to whom.
But, soon it’ll not be the Rams.
It’ll be the Ewes.

I will never understand why anyone has to tell us their gay. I don’t care what kind of sex you prefer.

If he had to be drafted, which I suspect the NFL decided and drew straws, he should have been 7 slots lower - Mr. Irrelevant - the last taken in the draft.

Cheshire conservatives. Their belief in it pops in and out situationally like the cat in wonderland.

exhibitionism is part of their sexual fetish. it is the nature of homosexuals to make others as uncomftorable as possible.

What will replace the NFL?

Homos on parade. Yet another reason to have nothing with the nfl. There is a lot of mother things to do with my time.
