Oh yes, and also, while the draft was going on, you had tons of media people who were already saying “He’s not being drafted because he is gay”.
Also, as I wrote previously, if Sam was picked and IF it was a charity pick, that means he took the spot of another player aspiring to be in the NFL.
Unsigned Free Agents, training camp will decide.
Visa already aired a commercial featuring him.
No way the NFL will allow their new golden boy to be cut.
Personally, I think this could backfire, the more people actually see gays/homosexuals, the more they are put off by what they see vs. those who are just trying to "normalize" the lifestyle.
The Rams will still need a player in the games, the Pro-Sam Crowd will not be happy with him sitting on the bench, they will say “he’s not playing because he’s gay” whereas the same crowd was saying “he had not been drafted because he’s gay” before he was finally selected but if he doesn’t produce on the field and others would do better, I’m not so sure. His supporters won’t be happy with him riding the pine.
“Michael Sam: Is emotional kiss exactly what some NFL teams were afraid of?” - CS Monitor
“Only one thing can be said with certainty: By taking Sam with the eighth-to-last pick of the seven-round draft, the St. Louis Rams saved the NFL a small public-relations nightmare.
Had he not been drafted, many questions would have been asked, most of them uncomfortable.”
Adding on, you may well be right, but it will also be a circus if he sits on the bench as well as playing.
If Sam can’t make the cut to real playing, they can’t have him in there.
The Rams were good last year, could have made the playoffs with some fortune, they really can’t allow to have a dud in there playing if all other cylinders are firing.
The problem is you are looking at it from a pure football perspective.
The NFL sees things differently.
I agree. The NFL will not allow him to be cut.
I feel sorry for the Rams. They are stuck with a player who is not that good. The team will suffer because everyone else produces and he will not.
Others know if they don’t produce, they will be cut. Sam doesn’t have to do anything.
Sam just got a free ride and lots of money.
Maybe so.
But the Sam supporters won’t be happy unless he is playing.
So, in my view, Sam can’t sit on the bench without rankling the Leftwing Fascists.
But NFL teams play players who aren’t adequate all the time actually.
I’m not so sure all of the real sports outlets will go hogwild over this, maybe most of them but I think some sports outlets often try to stay away from controversial subjects.
Not to mention jersey sales, SB Nation already has a post on this, polling if people will buy a “Sam” (Ram) Jersey.
So, yes, you are probably correct. Still, not sure if they can afford to play him that much.
Just going by the photo at Daily News, going by looks of it, Michael Sam’s smaller white boy friend is the one who is getting his fudge packed. Similar to what goes on in prison but with violence and rape. Here you have two willing numb nutz dancing that mess around
No doubt that Michael Sam jerseys will sell in large numbers, but most will be bought for the purpose of burning them.
what is all over their faces on the Drudge report picture?
Yes, you are right. And they have been brainwashing students for about 20 years now so that they accept the Brave New World. The media have also been successfully used to push the propaganda.
As a result look at how many people 40 and under think homosexual “marriage” is just fine.
There are indications it works exactly the opposite - the more homosexuals a person knows, the more likely they are to support the agenda. That's why "coming out" is such a high priority for them.
How many otherwise conservative figures have come out for gay marriage once they know they have a gay child?
I do not like them, “Sam I Ram”.
I'm spending more time watching Catholic high school sports where they still pray before each game. My son's Catholic college basketball games also featured a prayer before the games. His teams (HS and college) even held their right hand over their hearts during the national anthem.
My goodness I miss the America I grew up in.
Don’t know about the vast majority of millennials. They’re being sold homosexuality as normal. Wonder what’s the next disease that’ll kill off the homosexual millennials.
