Rams defensive end Michael Sam is getting a reality show.
The Oprah Winfrey Network announced today that it is working with Sam on a reality TV project that will show his life as the first openly gay player in the NFL.
“We are honored that Michael is trusting us with his private journey in this moment that has not only made history but will shape it forever,” Oprah Winfrey said in a statement. “I am proud of the focus on authentic storytelling in our new documentary series format.”

My comparison of Sarah and Sam was confined to discussing the pros and cons of show biz possibilities for notable public figures.
It's true many comparisons of people are odious, but this wasn't one....the only thing odious is your uncalled-for post to me.

Holy crap! I didn’t think it would be this soon, but the devil’s on a joy ride right now. Good call, sir!
Oprah and Reality in the same sentence?????
Yes, they won the right to “marry” just as marriage disappeared from mainstream American culture...
The reality is that she was one of the biggest factors in Baraq Obama becoming POTUS.
You hit that nail on the head!
:) Thanks.
As for this. This sickens me, a borderline not good enough for the NFL player gets fame and fortune just because he’s the first one who admits to putting things in his butt. This does not speak well for America.
I think this was probably orchestrated, the gay lobby decided it was “time” for a gay football player so they found some chump with nothing to lose (because he probably wasn’t gonna make an NFL team) and got him to be their poster boy.
All you need to do is to look at the NFL commissioner - he’s a piece of sh*t and sh*t rolls downhill.
The shortest reality show in history. It’ll have the ratings of a typical OWN program. If he makes the team and someone everyone thinks is better gets cut, there’s going to be some pissed off people. Unless the player who’s cut is white.
:)
God help America, the PC crowd won’t.
WHO THE HELL CARES! MICHAEL WHO...! Give him a broom handle, make him feel good!
As for Oprah, who the hell is she? Let her make her bed between the Potus and Michael Sams!
I am already sick to death of this misguided social reject Mikey Sahm. I can’t even imagine what kind of fiasco the Rams training camp will be.
What you have with the NFL - and now all the major professional team sports leagues - is a tyrannical top-down structure of governance created by almost all leftist ownerships (ready and willing to knuckle under to leftist pressure groups) as a microcosm of their leftist vision of how government in the larger society should operate. The commissioner is the dictator who gives out harsh decrees to be handed down to the lesser rungs of the gulag. So when an NFL player dissented from the party line on Twitter the other day, displaying some objection to the infamous Michael Sam kiss on national TV, he was immediately not only fined by the Commissar, but sentenced to reeducation camp (aka "sensitivity training").
The NFL Commissioner is Roger Goodell, son of the late US Senator, RINO Rockefeller Republican Charles Goodell. I'd almost guarantee that the son has completely discarded the family GOP legacy in order not to cause any waves in his current NFL politically correct environment.
He’s a three-year type player, and needs to already be looking for work by 2018. The reality show? It might get him some fans who don’t care about football, and maybe there’s some political career ahead.
Excellent post!!!
And the truth is revealed:

Phony as a $4 bill. Piece of sh*t.
I’m glad the NFL looks as used as a rented mule.
