Michael Sam’s Rams jersey is flying off the shelves at NFLShop.com, with the No. 249th pick out-selling the draft’s top overall pick.
The jersey is the second best-seller among players drafted over the weekend, trailing only Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel, who got a two-day head start on the former SEC co-defensive player of the year. Sam, who became the first openly-gay player selected in the NFL draft...

I call bull. This is an anecdote from one or two locations — at best. Show us the numbers.
How about “?” or “TBD”?
I have been told by some high school kids that it is now considered “cool” to be gay. And this is at a fairly affluent school in a nominally conservative community.
We have really sunk to a low level as a country.
Gays shop.
Yes but that accounts for less then 1 percent of the sales (population of gays is less then 1 percent and half of them won’t buy a jersey). What about the rest? I think the straights are buying in droves too. Crazy world.
Jerseys? Pah, that’s nothing. Wait ‘til his agent gets the endorsement contracts for signature model bike cups and open back pants.
Will the Rams now have rainbow colored helmets?
Gay. “Ram”. It fits.
I won’t be buying one
I do not approve of people defining themselves by their sex lives
I would not buy one of Wilt Chamberlain’s either
I would not buy one of that dumb Dunham girl either or a Fluke jersey
All you freaking exhibitionists, people really don’t give a flying flip about your inane sex lives. Shut up about it. It is a crashing bore.
> San Fran should start their own NFL team.... The San Francisco UNICORNS...
Well gays should like football. You’ve got 1 man standing behind 10 men that are bent over half the time...: )
Is the number on the jersey just under 70?
They don't have to spend money raising kids.
I hate to say it, but a few photographs, clinical and medical of course, of the aftermath of such behavior might change a few minds about how “cool” it is....kind of like how the reality of abortion as infanticide is made real by pictures of the innocent unborn.

It’s the 44% that are not only tolerant but want their kids to grow up to be homo or bisexual in this country because they think it’s “cool” not being smart enough to realize that it’s promoted by the government as a depopulation tool.
Is this the “Blue Dress” model jersey with the authentic dribble stains?
“I have been told by some high school kids that it is now considered “cool” to be gay.”
I have been told the same...and seen it to some extent. If you go to a high school, you will see lots of boys with really tight jeans and shirts, talking in high pitched voices. Its a ‘look’...even if the kid is dating a girl, he still goes for the look.
“Will the Rams now have rainbow colored helmets?”
Or pink.

So, is it because this jersey is now the new secret “signal”?
If so, it’s gonna quickly kill sales to anybody but homos.
