With the selection of Michael Sam as the 249th draft pick in the seventh round by the St. Louis Rams, the NFL has gone All-Gay, all the time. A nicer thing couldn’t happen to a more deserving league. Sam’s canny move in coming out assured his selection. The NFL could not afford the negative publicity of NOT picking the only Openly Gay College Football Player eligible for the draft. A smart move by a guy with limited speed, strength, and size, likely to be completely ineffective against the NFL’s players.

Sam is a mediocre at best, NFL player. He will have to be signed, and started. With this much hype, hoopla, and “Black gay hope” invested in him, if the St. Louis Rams don’t sign him and not just play him but start him, the gays, media, women (who love gays … and Blacks, see Baldwin, Ireland) will have a screaming social media fit. And sponsors, etc. will complain and threaten to cancel deals. Like I said, it was canny for Sam to come out. Absent being known as openly gay, he would never have been drafted or signed as a free agent.
Just imagine the locker-room reaction, to having a player who cannot help produce wins, and thus a Superbowl opportunity (which means money, fame, and a longer playing career plus more opportunities after playing in the NFL), sticks around and is All-Gay, all the time. Just imagine the fun to be had with guys who have six kids by five different women, and a rep for thugging it up, mixing with All-Gay Michael Sam.
And just imagine the fun to be had with ESPN and other networks breathlessly covering Michael Sam in every game, panning up to his “boyfriend” who will preen and prance for the camera.

I think those two will help ESPN reach their targeted demographic.
I wish Jack Tatum was still around It would be wonderful to have him Welcome him to the NFL With an old school ht
Still better than Costas or Olbermann.
“Oh, look at those Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders.”
“Hated It!”
Sam’s drafting actually makes a lot of sense...Since the NFL will soon ban any tackling..because of fear of injury..flag football will soon become the norm..and thus, who better to have on your team?
Earth to gays: we really don’t give a shi...er...smelly Obama where you stick your schlong, and given the fact that
around 99% of your brains are devoted to schlong planning - your lives are completely boring and worthless to those of us who have real lives to lead.
Just STFU.
Oh, and thanks for all the AIDS.
I wonder what the Rams will get as compensation for adding a freak show to the team.
Ans Sam won't want to leave - he knows the Rams have tight ends and they suck.
There is no way that Sam will start. The Rams have two studs at DE with Chris Long and Robert Quinn. At most he might come in an obvious passing situations to give Long or Quinn a breather.
He is going to have to share locker rooms with a lot of devout Black Christians who are not down with this in the least.
False premise in the article....there is NO such thing as ‘Black Gay hope”. The African American community (to the extent that it will even acknowledge such a thing) practices ‘the down low’ and does not want an open;y homosexual anybody. The only folks who may say they are okay with it are people like O who already have a shady background.
Even those who are not strong ‘church goers’ will tell you this is more than just unacceptable. AS in the Asian and Latino communities it reason enough to get the crap beat out of you (at a minimum there are deaths out there as well)
There’s a four letter slang term for ‘breather’ that has been popularized over the years by announcers.
Bet they won’t be using THAT word anymore.
The NFL’s first “defensive end” who is not the least bit “defensive” about his “end.”
If this guy doesn’t play ball well and is let go....is there any way to blame it on CLIMATE CHANGE! or racism?
Moving to LA.
2014’s Tim Tebow.
The Rams will come from behind in most of their games next season.
Why?
