The NFL was reportedly scared of the mainstream media blowback that it would receive if Michael Sam, the league's first openly gay player, did not make a team.
When the Rams cut Michael Sam last weekend, the NFL reportedly called teams to inquire if they had "evaluated Sam as a possible practice squad player," according to a report from MMQB's Peter King.
Before Thursday night's NFL season opener between Seattle and Green Bay, King reported that Sam and the NFL eventually avoided a "nightmare situation" when Jerry Jones and the Cowboys ultimately signed him to the practice squad.

Affirmative action for gays now?
That’s ok, don’t forget, soccer is “gay.”
Not suprising I think NFL don’t want deal with ESPN and NBC network run by both metrosexual men
NFL: The National Fraidies League
Of course they did.
Yeppers. And after the Cowboys cut Gay Sam, he’ll be passed on to another team so they too can check the “We picked a fag, too!” box.
Its all the latest fashion, dontcha know.
"So, who on the team is a homosexual?"
"What?!"
"Your homosexual. Who is it? I mean, you've got to have one."
"Well, we don't!"
"Oh, come, come. That won't do at all! Every team has to have at least one homosexual. Look at Einsenhower's cabinet! It's loaded with queers."
"It is not!!"
"Well, it ought to be. Anyway, there's that nice colored boy ... Michael Sam? Perhaps you could add him to the roster. He's not a good player, but he is a homosexual."
"Do we have to??"
"I'm afraid so. It's in the rule book. Page 47."
Lucky Sam, it’s only 200 miles to Austin.
What would happen if the Washington NFL team applied for a nickname change to Homosexuals. Would that be met with praise or derision from the PC crowd? /half-sarcasm.
‘Nightmare Situation’?
Not for me. I haven’t watched the NFL for years.
I don’t watch either. Baseball provides all the stress I need.
why does this surprise anyone?? the belief before the draft was league offices would compensate any team that draft’s him with extra compensatory picks in next year’s draft....
so the cowboys have got him but probably will never use him.
If he can’t play at the level then the NFL should accept that.
left wing, no nothing peter king calling the fact that a seventh round pick, Michael Sam, can’t find a roster spot a “nightmare situation”....wonder if he feels the same about Tim Tebow not being invited to a camp?

Packers is already taken
In other news, the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders were cancelled for lack of interest...
LOL—I’m probably the only one who knows that you typed that when the Indians have runners on.
