Did I miss something? Since when is Sam ‘in the NFL’?
So why did he come out??? Another thread indicated that he didn’t think it would be a big deal, and sounds as if he regrets some of what has happened.
ON the other hand, would he have even been drafted in the NFL draft in the first place, if not for having declared his homosexuality???
And lost in all of this, is that NFL people tell us that he’s a marginal NFL player at best. How many other last round draft choices make it in the NFL? Some do, but such players are rare. Michael Sam would have had to overcome some stiff odds to make it in the NFL.
The conflation of courage and one’s sex life is mystifying.
Maybe the players who are actually good enough to play in the NFL want to emphasize their performance rather than claiming some special status to try to get special treatment.
what is his problem? If what he says is true, playing in the NFL as a discreet gay would not have been a problem. Any team that would take him is insane....telling locker room secrets and all that.
The challenge has been laid...are all the wide receivers and tight ends up to the task?
This guy should be working on a fishing boat right outside of Delacroix.
1.5% of 1696 players is 25. Yeppers. Around 25 players roll that way.
Perhaps other gay football players simply want to be known for their football skills, not their extracurricular activities.
Yo, Michael.. for your info, YOU’RE not in the NFL.
I don’t know about courage, but it would appear that they at least had some talent.
What this idiot should remember is that no one gives a smelly Obamahole about who this guy boinks and where he boinks them.
So, may this loser get a room, STFU, and do whatever he’d like.
Quietly.
Maybe they know being a sodomite isn’t exactly right or normal.
Oh, for Pete’s sake! It’s over Mr. Sam. OK? It’s over. You didn’t make it into the league. They didn’t want you. Go home. Go pour yourself a comso, put on some Bette Midler and tell your troubles to your man. OK? Go home.
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.
Sam is gay? Who knew? (Sarcasm)

“The players who have reached out to me and told me about their sexual orientation...”
Have reached out to ya? How ya mean?
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.
