Miami Dolphins safety Don Jones was fined an undisclosed amount Sunday and will undergo educational training after sending a negative tweet about Michael Sam, the first openly gay player to be selected in the NFL draft.

Shortly after the St. Louis Rams took Sam in the seventh round Saturday, Jones tweeted “OMG” and “Horrible.” The tweets were taken down a short time later.

Jones apologized for his comments Sunday and described them as inappropriate. The Dolphins said Jones has been excused from all team activities until he completes training related to his comments.

Reminds me of a disgusting Borat scene with a character that made me immediately turn the movie off. If only I could have unseen that...

I guess when a few women get raped in the transgender restrooms by some sick twisted rapist pervs who’ve figured out all they have to do is wear some eyeliner and some lipstick and wait in a stall for their prey they migh rethink this idiocy.

Thats true. They will change the laws to make striking a transgender during an act of molestation/rape a felony. and send the perp to be reeducated.

The tranny will then get a book deal.

I recall seeing a diagram or flow chart that displayed the “hierarchy of victimhood.” Wish I would have saved it, can’t find it now.

Funny, I was thinking it needed the “m” doubled, too.

Sammed = being required to “undergo educational training” after speaking or acting in a manner offensive to any member of a protected class.

“Don Jones was sammed after sending a negative tweet about Michael Sam.”

Wait till it’s codified. I think within a couple years we will see a push for something just like that officially. And whatever groups come up with the most cash to the DNC will get top priority. Just like today’s unofficial reality.

Then they can get to work changing the rest of the remnants of our former society. Redoing patriotic songs and such to better fit the new gay rulership.

“Oh beautiful, are boy scout thighs...”

“My truckstop tis of thee...”

“...For the land, Sodomyyyyyy! And an end filled with AIDSssssss”

It’s time to boycott the NFL and ESPN. Not for signing a gay player. But for being intolerant. Their exact words were “we will not tolerate”. Yet anyone can say anything they want about Tim Tebow’s beliefs.

Borat was in that character, wearing some sort of german styled hot pants, when he plopped his behind in Eminems lap. This was at a Grammy Awards ceremony. I think people needed a couple years break from that character.

Glenn Beck proved years ago that society can be convinced to accept anything. Only 2% of the population is gay yet probably at least 60% will “comply” with the new rules.

I truly do believe I have more in common with the Russians than I do most Americans.

Wonder why this is on the Blaze? Beck is okay with faux marriage and, I must assume, homosexuality.

Now let a salt of the earth rancher be set up and his words edited....

I take it you don't watch hockey?

Likely no one. Duck Dynasty is merely a TV show; generally there's more political incorrectness allowed at that level. The NFL, however, is a megabusiness and there pressure to conform to political correctness is much greater, in part because megabusinesses have a lot more money that lefty pressure groups can shake them down for. Also, we tend to regard football generally, and the NFL in particular, as a sort of incarnation of basic Americanism, and as silly as it is to make a totem of a sport that way, it leads to heightened demands that the NFL offend no aggrieved group in our society, cf certain Amerindians who caterwaul about the team name of the Washington Redskins.
