So if Sam should be like Tebow, does that mean we can be to Sam like the critics were to Tebow?

As near as I can tell, Jackie Robinson didn’t think he was owed anything and probably felt he had to work harder to gain acceptance. Michael Sam, on the other hand, seems to think the NFL owes him a spot simply because he prefers hot dogs to tacos.

I’m pretty sure I’m not going to be able to watch football again with every play the queer makes being chatted up as if he were the most amazing thing in the world.

NFL - rejecting Christians and going queer. I’m done, tuning out.

Jackie Robinson is an undeniable American hero for what he did. How he accomplished it was his choice.

Actually, it was Branch Rickey's choice. Rickey told Robinson that he would have to take abuse and not return it.

Robinson, of course, was a tremendous talent. Sam is a reach in the 7th round for the NFL.

Before Jackie Robinson, people who were born with brown skin couldn't play MLB. Michael Sam puts his penis in the butts of other guys and has them put their penises in his butt.

I’m having trouble understanding what I just read. Sam had options other than the one he took. He is busy “gaming” the process now so that the owners have to fear the backlash that would result if he were to be cut.

I predict Sam gets hurt his first play in the NFL, and never plays again.

I just lost a few brain cells reading this tripe. So what’s he supposed to do? Talk about the joys of gay sex every time he’s interviewed? Have his boyfriend lick whipped cream off his stomach while he’s in the locker room? I really couldn’t give two hoots if he’s gay. You want to be gay, be gay. Just SHUT UP about it.

“Sam should do it the way Tim Tebow did”

He should do a pose, as Tebow did. One can imagine the possibilities.

I may be wrong, but I think this guy is going to fall flat on his face. This isn’t going to work out, and then watch the cat-fight over him being let go.

I’d love to own the popcorn concession then.

Read about how Sam and his “handlers” manipulated the timing of his “coming out” To avoid (supposedly_ the “distraction” of his senior season (ie. amateur)

Yet in time before the NFL draft, just in time to get drafted (or scream and bitch if he didn’t) and of course, to get $$$ endorsements.

“Courageous”? I think now. All calculated to make him money regardless of draft status.

BTW, interesting that these “handlers” haven’t been looked into re Sam’s amateur status.

I’m sure the Rams were doing the league a favor by drafting him.... it would have been a PR nightmare if he’d gone undrafted.

Having said that, there is not much chance of him making this team. He lacks the athletic skill to play special teams, so he’ll have to beat out one of the Rams two backup D-Ends, William Hayes and Eugene Sims.... both of whom are very productive players.

There is probably a team that can use his pass rush ability, it’s just not the Rams.

I’ll be glad when the novelty wears off and we can get back to football. Jeff Fisher has told the media to do their thing now because once mini camp starts Michael Sam won’t be available.

AMEN to that.

The first thing out of Sam’s mouth after he finished his cake kiss was crying and moaning that he should have been picked in the first rounds. Anyone who thought Sam wasn’t using his gayness for political calculation should have been shut up right then and there. This entire ordeal is a calculation he cooked up to get drafted and nothing more.

Good is evil. Evil is good. We are a messed up nation. Evil on the Throne - Good (decency & truth) on the Gallows. Sad, but true.

Just shut up and play?

That is a tough question, Mr. Serious Writer. What's a guy supposed to do when he can't shut up and can't play?

The only thing I learned from this article is that Dan Wetzel is a leftist POS!

It’s a sports league full of athletic men who enjoy performing fruity celebration dances after mundane plays, and has been for a while now. What did they think was going to happen?
