The *only* reason he got coverage is because he's gay. That's it, and that's all. And that's the travesty. It's not because he's talented.
I highly doubt anyone would have cared about him being drafted by the Rams or anyone else if the coverage wasn't so over the top.
There's a reason pro athletes don't come out of the closet. ESPN showed exactly why with their over the top coverage.
It was ESPN and the NFL network who turned this into a circus. Just like they did with Manziel. Just like they did with Tebow.
And the NFL Network is STILL talking about it. They're website is covered with Michael Sam stories.
The point is, the Rams took the BPA near the end of the draft despite all the silly conspiracy theories that don’t pass the logic test.
And again, how is that homo NBA player doing?
He’s riding the bench and not getting any playing time because he’s a marginal player, much like Sam who will see very little playing time if he makes the team.
The Rams were the worst team in the league that could have picked him because they are deep and talented at DE and likely won’t carry Nine Defensive Ends.
Again, people need to use some logic.
Rams took the best player available at the end of the 7th round and Sam is a the type of player picked in the 7th.
It’s not like we’re talking about a Day 1 or a Day 2 pick here. 7th rounders are throw away picks and you pick them and hope you find a diamond in the rough.
The Rams had three 7th round picks and took the best player available with the pick, plain and simple.
Had he not been drafted, he would have been signed by some team as an UDFA and the same people would be saying “The NFL forced them to sign him” and other silliness.
He either makes the team or he doesn’t as there isn’t any Affirmative Action in pro sports.
And if he gets cut, which is likely for a 7th, the homo’s will throw a hissy fit but it won’t matter.
What are they going to do? Sue the Rams/NFL?
Good luck with that.
They’re going to have to sit there and take it and won’t be able to do a damn thing about it except bitch and whine.
Personally, I can’t wait to see it.
