Is it possible this whole thing was orchestrated?

There has been talk in recent years about what reactions we would see, if we saw openly gay players in major league sports.

And, we learned long after the fact, in the case of Branch Rickey and Jackie Robinson, that Rickey was looking for a Negro ballplayer to integrate major league baseball.

So, I’m thinking that, behind the scenes, the powers that be have been looking to find their first openly homosexual NFL player.

But we may not learn all of the details of how this came about, until years from now, when books are written, and movies made about this “historic” event.

Of course it was orchestrated..same thing happened with Jason Collins..Ive watched the NBA playoffs and not ONCE have I seen Jason Collins play..I haven’t even seen him at all, probably sitting his ass on the bench..he averaged 2 points a game before he “came out” he only came out because he wanted to be drafted by a winning team..he has been a bench warmer his ENTIRE career, no one has ever wanted him, but when he comes out as gay all of a sudden teams want him, for publicity..to show they are “tolerant” same thing with Michael Sam, he came out so that he could be on a winning team, to get publicity for himself and his homo agenda

This was 100% fake. There's no doubt in my mind.

Sam was rated at the bottom of the combine. He only placed ahead of a few QBs, I believe. His D MVP is meaningless when you consider Heisman winners have also been drafted in the later rounds or undrafted period. And now to hear him say he should have been drafted higher? C'mon, man. You are NOT that talented.

I don't care that he's gay. If he can play ball, fine. But the reason he slid down the draft order isn't because of his sexuality. Its because he lacks talent at the NFL level. AS an MSU Alum, I'm pissed that 3 more talented athletes and better football players didn't get drafted AT ALL, and this guy did.

Pundits like Peter King and the like made this all about his sexuality- not his football talent. THAT is the problem.

Rush was right about McNabb. It was about his skin color, not his talent as a QB. We see it again with Sam.
