I can't imagine where you'd get an idea like that...

President Barack Obama congratulated Michael Sam on Saturday for being the first openly gay football player taken in the National Football League draft, the White House said in a statement.
"From the playing field to the corporate boardroom, LGBT Americans prove everyday that you should be judged by what you do and not who you are," Obama said. He also congratulated the NFL and the St. Louis Rams, the team that drafted Sam.
Sam, an All-American defensive end who played for the University of Missouri, made history when he was picked by the Rams in the seventh and final round. He was the 249th of 256 players selected.
The 24-year-old got the news by telephone from Rams' coach Jeff Fisher, who told Sam: "You are a Ram. The wait is finally over."
Sam, who was filmed by ESPN as he got the call, broke down in tears in the arms of his boyfriend. "Thank you," he could be heard saying to Fisher....

Did he call all the other players? If not, why not?
The question can become, will his teammates play their hearts out supporting him, or can they help make him look bad?
He should have kept his mouth shut instead of making the draft about him.
Guess the NFL now stands for National Fag League.
Obama congratulated a kindred spirit, and notably, no other draft pick.
Let’s face facts.....Michael Sam is not an extremely talented player. He may have never been drafter, but he has an edge....a nation obsessed with everything except the content of his character.
Second, CNN and other liberal media put this out to make Obama look compassionate and conservatives as bigoted. You know a talking head will ask if Boehner or any GOP leader congratulated Michael Sam, implying homophobia....even if those GOP leaders sent out the politically correct statement.
Osumbo and Sam......”Birds of a feather....”
Well...he can handle a ball....appearently that’s what’s important.../s/z
To be fair, the viewing public doesn't care much about the content of any other player's character, either, but only about his performance as an entertainment figure.
Evil days in America.
All the more reason to watch the NFL even less than I already do.
He will likely be in the ‘Hall of Fame’ by the end of the week.
Bread & Circuses
There’s a video of MS reaction...but I doubt it will last long if I post it.
Michael Sam, Is he a tight end ? wide receiver?
I can't imagine where you'd get an idea like that...
Will this idiot ever shut up ?
I’m sure Bath House Barry wants to get a “piece” from him
Since Barry is now openly gay.
Fag.
Guess who I’m talking about.
Well ain’t that so special.
*broke down in tears in the arms of his boyfriend.*<(
Saddens me too. We (the majority of this country) are denigrated by this. This would be best left alone by all, each to his own, don’t ask don’t tell, anything goes, whatever... just get it out of my face!
It insenses me that this POS does nothing but spend time worrying about fags, minorities, illegal aliens and every other bunch of out of the main stream elements of our society while the entire country is falling down on so many fronts. As some commentator said last week, he should spend less time owrrying about the NBA and more time worrying about Putin.
