What the hell is a “defensive end” in homosexual parlance? Got me corn-fused!

He will be lucky to get drafted after he stunk it up at the NFL combine.

I'll bet he's all lawyered up to sue the NFL or someone connected to it if he doesn't not only get picked but not put into 1st string. There's some deep pockets in the NFL, and I'm sure they're already getting ready for some long days in court because of this homosexual.

“Sam had a sub-par showing at the combine with a 4.91 40-yard dash and other combine drills, which led to talk that he could go undrafted,”

Don’t worry. Much like the cruddy basket ball player, you’ll be picked up even if you lose all four limbs in a freak logging accident. President’s orders.

Just had a terrible thought.

Michael Sam may end up on the Miami Dolphin practice squad.

After all the gay bashing Twitters between Incognito and Jonathan Martin, the NFL will probably force us to prove that we embrace diversity.

We probably can’t cut Jonathan Martin, either, unless we want a lawsuit.

Two losers on the roster, just so we can prove we are not prejudiced against gays or guys with clinical depression.

If this is a nation of true equality than the best
thing that could happen for gay pro athletes and
everyone else is for this whole thing to get to the
“no big deal” stage just as soon as possible. If the
guy becomes a pro football player he would owe it
to his team and himself to not be a spokesman for
any gay causes. Nobody cares about my heterosexuality
so I sure don’t need to hear about his gayness.

As a matter of fact if queerness is so freaking normal
then why do they need gay parades and rodeos?

With a 4.9 in the 40, the only place he’s going is to the Arena league or a UPS stockroom somewhere. But . . I’m sure he’ll get a nice 200K billet in the NFL office of queer tolerance in New York.

The guy made his career about politics, so declining the invitation was self-defeating for him. I’m glad he did it.

I don’t understand the pedestal mentality of football players.

Both Sam and Tebow are terrible at football but were worshipped like they were gods. It is so sad how we make these folks seem better people then they are.

——Maybe he didn’t want to be prostituted by the Obama admin.——

Exactly....

I’m sure he would have felt like the token “negro” the left always accuses the right of doing to black conservatives.

Except...he would be the token “homo”...

The thing is with Sam is his size, he’s a tweener by NFL standards. Not big enough to play DE but too slow to play OLB. He had good stats in college but then lots of other guys did too and they never sniffed an NFL trainkng camp. Will be interesting.

He already has a publicist? Who is paying for that?

And like Tebow, when Sam fails as an NFL player his supporters will blame it on everything except his inability to play his position at an NFL level.

As opposed to everyone else in the US being used as prostitutes by the ruling political class?

Willingly being a tool of the ruling class vs. the unwilling.

But yes, I see your point.

In the process making the person they claim to support too radioactive to be carried on a roster. I agree totally.
