Michael Sam will step away from professional football, he announced via Twitter on Friday night.

Sam, the 25-year-old who began the season with the CFL's Montreal Alouettes, cited a tumultuous past year for leaving football at this time.

OH NOS! First homo pro football wannabee crashes and burns one final time. I guess the Ophra homo pro football wannabee reality show is probably off too, hey?

There’s been lots of homo NFL players. And they were well known. No big deal.

America used to be a grownup country.

This is why I never listen to ESPN commentators.

Good grief. What a mess this country is. PC gone mad.

So, to recap. Didn’t make the Rams. Didn’t make the Cowboys practice squad. And now drops out of the CFL. why does this guy get so much press?

It seemw that Sam the man’s significant other, Vito Cammisano’s uncle was quite the mafioso figure. The “boss of all bosses” in the Kansas City mob. So does this mean Vito is the, ahem Fairy Godfather? I’m sorry I couldn’t help myself :^P

I thought he played "defense" in the SEC, which would be newsworthy.

Imagine if he’d not been a football player. Had he gone into government, media, or big business he’d have been there for 40 years with everyone touting his greatness at every turn. Instead , placed in a meritocracy, he found his level and washed out physically and mentally.

I get a front row seat to some of that life style and what you say is true in my opinion.

Interesting. When he comes down with oral health problems what will he do?

Seriously though, if I'm C.J. Mosley, 2013 CO-SEC Defensive Player of the Year, I'm demanding that the SEC remove Michael Sam from the award that year and name me the sole recipient. I bet he's been pissed about that ever since it happened.

Homosexuality goes hand in hand with mental health issues, narcissistic delusions and serious depression.

Eh. Sam would have been nuts even if he was straight.
