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.

It would amuse me if the Redskins made a press release and came out with an intended name change to the Gunslingers (the former USFL team in San Antonio). Could you imagine the reaction by the ESPN personalities?

Report: NFL Asked Teams to Sign Michael Sam to Avoid 'Nightmare Situation'I'm sure the NFL investigation into Jerry Jones' conversation with Adrian Peterson will quietly end.

Doubly expensive as the Cowboys now need a head coach, too.

If every Christian stopped watching football, that wouldn’t be a real nightmare for the NFL?

I don't really care (personally) if Michael Sam is gay. That is between him and God. Heck, if he isn't fit for the NFL on the basis of sin (instead of lack of talent), are we also going to kick out the adulterers, liars, and idoloters? Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.
The Libs at ESPN made things worse with their infamous Locker Room interview.
But when the Cowboys signed him to the practice squad, I had to ask myself, "what did Jimmy Jones get for this favor?"

Absolutely. The NFL is now absolutely on a downward spiral.

The rudest response to this was to take the Dallas Cowboys flag and replaced its star with a starfish.
The starfish symbolizes a part of the anatomy very important to homosexual men.
