Michael Sam says gay NFL players 'do not have the same courage' to come out
SB nation via Yahooooooooooo ^ | 3/27 | Matt Verderame

"I am not the only gay person in the NFL," Sam said Thursday. "I'm just saying there is a lot of us. I respect the players that did reach out to me and had the courage to tell me that they were also gay, but they do not have the same courage as I do to come out before I even played a down in the NFL.

"The players who have reached out to me and told me about their sexual orientation, it just means a lot. But I will never say anything about who they are, what teams they are (on). I'm just saying there's some famous people, and I'm not the only one."

Gee, there just are not enough articles and press coverage of a wannabe who never played a regular season snap in the NFL.

Everything Michael Sam has ever said is quoted in the MSM. He is treated like a celebrity and of course a “victim” of discrimination. He on camera kiss with his boyfriend was replayed thousands of times on TV.

This guy should be working on a fishing boat right outside of Delacroix.

Would he be a "bit uneasy as she bent down to tie the lace, of his shoe?"

Finally at the age of, I think, 70, he decides to come out of the closet and say, “I’m gay.”

Like, who cares? Be gay. Don’t be gay. That’s up to you George.

It was all timed to make $$$

Sam’s homosexuality was well known on campus. That Sam asked the team, coaches and administration prior to his senior year to put a lid on it, only to “come out” just weeks prior to the NFL draft tells us all we needed to know about his “courage” and other false accolades he received.

This was a calculated move by $cam and his handlers to maximize exposure, knowing they would find an adoring media and pandering politicians, while pressuring teams to draft him. Even though he has proven to be an NFL bust, he’s gotten all the love, commercial endorsement(s) (VISA) and of course, his gig on DWTS.

Remember how they announced with no uncertainty that at least four NFL stars would come out? The best they could dig up was a has-been NBA bench-sitter being forced into retirement, whose homosexuality came as quite a shocker to his female lover of the past 8 years.

Statistically they are 2% or less of population so they would be 2% or less of the rosters of NFL teams. That is not as many as he wishes. More liberal lies.

If there are, they know enough that most people watching sports don’t want to bring this Crap into it. Can you play? Yes or no. Don’t need homosexual-fascism tossed in our faces when we are trying to watch sports.

Some people are not sexual attention whores like others. They have what is called dignity.

Statistics shmatistics. Just looking at all the swishy celebratory prancing that is performed, the NFL is overwhelmingly comprised of gay men.

Actually, probably less. If there are so many lesbian athletes thanks to hormonal imbalances making them more aggressive and muscular than the average female, it would leave a person to believe male homosexuals have less drive and less muscularity than the average male. So it's likely there would be a smaller pct. of homo males in athletic pursuits which rewards the more aggressive and athletic males.

It is well known that many male homos are attracted to artistic professions whether athletic or otherwise. Which is why you see such a high pct. of homo males in occupations like hairdressing, designing, and many of the arts. The athletic occupations they are attracted to are the more artistic like diving (Greg Louganis) or figure skating of which there have been many male homo skaters.
