Folks, this was all staged. ESPN and the NFL didn't just 'happen' to be in the Rams war room. They didn't just 'happen' to have cameras with Michael Sam. The cake and the kiss? All planned out ahead of time. It was done for shock value. For ratings. And to 'make history'.

Its a mutually beneficial relationship for them: Sam media spotlight, endorsement deals, etc. ESPN and the NFL get weeks and months of publicity. Even if Sam gets cut, he will be set for a long time.

The Rams had two of the top 13 picks in the draft, so having a camera in their war room was a givin.
And most teams have cameras in their war room anyways, especially if they have two of the top picks in the draft.

IDK who took the video when Sam got the call, but I doubt it was ESPN or the NFL channel.

Again, some of you are making something out of nothing.

7th round picks don’t get paid much and generally don’t get endorsement deals.

I seriously doubt that he’ll be set for a long time as his NFL career will be short.

Some of you are going way overboard on this Sam thing.

ESPN and the NFL Channel have pretty much stopped talking about it already and Sam’s odds of making the Rams roster are slim.

And look at that homo playing pro basketball. He’s sitting on the bench and not getting any playing minutes.

There’s no Affirmative Action in pro sports, so stop with the hysterics already.

It’s just ridiculous that some people know so little about the NFL, yet they think they know so much.

Like I said, they sound like the anti-gun nut talking about “Automatic assault rifles with hi-capacity clips” and other nonsense.
