'I can't believe ESPN even allowed that to happen': former NFL running back (subject: Sam's kiss)
Daily Mail UK ^ | May 11, 2014 | Joshua Gardner

A now-retired Super Bowl-winning NFL running back went on a Twitter tirade on Saturday after openly gay 2014 draft pick Michael Sam kissed his boyfriend on television.

Derrick Ward, 33, who was a member of the New York Giants Super Bowl XLII-winning team, didn't hide his disdain for ESPN's decision to air Sam's smooch with boyfriend Vito Cammisano after learning he would become a St. Louis Ram.

'Man U got little kids lookin at the draft,' Ward complained. 'I can't believe ESPN even allowed that to happen.'

It would have been interesting if all the libs screeching about how great the homo lip lock was had been strapped to polygraph machines to see how many of them (the ones who weren't homos) were lying.

I wonder how this will change end-zone celebrations.

The Rams will now play in the first MNF game of the season to garner what the NFL hopes is the largest-ever audience for that game.

What happens if Sam doesn’t get time on the field, or is a disaster on the field? Will that all be overlooked? The NFL has opened a serious can of worms.

Bring back Monday Night Curling.

Cricket may have been UK’s downfall, but curling saved Canada.

There have been many that have said the A’s need a new park. I like the coliseum, and I always have. When the sun is out, and it almost always is, the beer tastes so much better watching a game in the sun in Oakland. It’s a blue collar town. One of the last towns that really deserve a sports team - Green Bay, Buffalo, Oakland, Pittsburgh.

They won’t be the same if they let them move to San Jose. Not even close.

I remember going to that park in the early 70s to watch the A’s... Joe Rudi, Vida Blue, Sal Bando, Gene Tenace...

Ah, memories.

We had really awesome seats for a Rays afternoon game. I couldn’t understand why nobody was sitting in our section and we were only five rows up from third base. The third inning, I turned around and saw everyone sitting in the overhang under the shade. I got it then. Yup, beer was excellent.

His remark about children watching, well that was exactly their target, same crap as taught in government schools.

As a side note now that this happened I believe that the Washington Redskins should seek and injunction against any further efforts by the so called indigenous peoples to ban the historic Redskins name. By current standards and mores they were more than 30 years ahead of the curve because of the fabled Hoggettes. That's gotta count for something.

Not only is the cross-dressing element covered but notice the beards and mustaches and I do believe they have a case against the eurovision winner, the bearded TV Conchita Wurst. Take that sucker's money.

As for the indignant indigs, issues trump race issues currently, so STFU.

I can name every starting player on that team, and most of the pitchers. I always forget Gene Tennace. Campi Campinares, Reggie Jackson, Sal in the hot corner.

You remember Rollie Fingers? The mustache? I was 6,7, and 8 when they won three in a row. What a time. Big Red Machine came the year Charlie sold off most of the team for a $1M a person. Sal was first to go. I remember where I was when it came in over the transistor radio. Broke my heart.

I thought everything lasted forever back then. It was like someone shooting my dog. I actually gasped.

We had the Raiders back then too. 1972 and 76 if I recall. The Snake, Cliff Branch, and Biletnikoff, the latter of ‘Stick’um’ fame. All he had to do was get any part of his hand, back or front, on the ball and it was a catch. They banned stickum after that.

Campy Campeneros, Ray Fosse, Catfish Hunter, John "Blue Moon" Odom...

Memories, indeed! (by the way, Joe Rudi was my favorite!)

I must be just a bit older than you...I remember all those guys.

And the Raiders... back when they were good.
