Michael Sam, a University of Missouri defensive tackle and SEC defensive Player of the Year, will enter the NFL draft in May as an openly gay man.
Sam stated publicly what his teammates and coaches at Mizzou have known since August: "I am an openly, proud gay man."
Stop the presses! Mr. Sam is proud of something - his sexual preference - that everyone who isn't a gay activist takes for granted. What exactly is Mr. Sam "proud" of?
Sam is eligible for the NFL draft in May. Assuming that he is drafted, Sam could become the first openly gay player in the history of the NFL.
"I understand how big this is," he said. "It's a big deal. No one has done this before. And it's kind of a nervous process, but I know what I want to be ... I want to be a football player in the NFL."
In 2014, "Gay Man to Enter Workforce" has the everyday-occurrence sound of a headline in The Onion. But when the NFL is involved, it's a first -- and potentially a landmark moment -- in the history of American sports.
The New York Times headlined their news article, "NFL Prospect Proudly Says What Teammates Knew: He's Gay." How exactly do you state "proudly" that you're gay? Is it in the tone of voice? A lift of the eyebrow? No -we are being instructed on how to react to Mr. Sam's announcement. This is how good, tolerant people should feel. Very well, thanks NY Times. I wouldn't have known how to react otherwise.

His private life is a non-issue IMO. What does matter is he’s a good defensive end who gives opposing QBs fits. Key is not to become a tiresome, one-man crusade for homo “rights.”
TRANSLATION: Anybody who is not homosexual is homophobic.
Millons of young boys in America watch NFL football, have a favorite NFL team and even idolize specific players by wearing their jerseys.
Having an openly gay NFL player in the NFL will only serve to further normalize deviant behavior and encourage other gay athletes in high school, college and the pros to come out of the closet.
This has to be stopped and they only way it can be stopped is for Christians to boycott not only the team that drafts Sam, but the entire NFL.
A touchdown will now be getting the ball into the “Out Zone”
He just lowered his draft value to zilch.
I’m sure would love other team to pile on.....
It’s only a deal to me if he’s any good, and then not so much because I’m a “one-game-per-year” kind of football fan.
Is Obama going to send him to the Olympics immediately?
Don’t draft the homo and you’re a homophobic bigot...draft the homo and you’re a pro-homo team/organization.
Yeah, this will end well.
They had a great sketch that featured one with a Howard Cosell impression interviewing the other as Bruiser LaRue, star running back of the Steubenville Studs. Bruiser describes his most memorable game in Argentina against the Gay Cabbeleros.
Let him bleed his aids infected blood into your system then!
Its ok to proudly say you are gay,,Just dont proudly say you are a Christian.
He didn’t sound “proud” when he said it. He simply was stating a fact. It did not sound like he wants to be treated special, nor that he thinks we all should care. Of course, the usual suspects will make sure we both care and express the appropriate “acceptance”, but I don’t blame the guy for that.
Unless he repents his hideous sin, an abomination before the LORD, he has confirmed his seat in the lake of fire for all eternity. We will see if he is a proud gay black man then.
It WOULD be amusing if NO team picked him up. Of course, then the entire NFL would be accused of being homophobic.
If the Redskins pick him up, can we tell the Oneida to shut the hell up, they’ve DONE their tolerance for this year. . .
"Nice anti-trust exemption you got there, hate to see anything bad happen to it."
This is not ‘much ado about nothing’ as the intellectually lazy purport. It is another major milestone of the culturally destructive homosexual and feminist agenda, which is, to emasculate the American man and render him obsolete.
An emasculated man cannot resist the coming tyranny from the NWO elites; they are inclined to be subservient and submit.
Mr. Sam may well get a number of “Welcome to the NFL” moments during the season. Just a guess.
Why does the Leggs commercial with Women playing basketball in high heals come to mind? IDK!
