ESPN Denounced NFL as 'Unworthy of Contemporary Society' If Sam Was Undrafted
Newsbusters ^

Posted on 05/13/2014 1:37:09 PM PDT by chessplayer

While Tuesday's Washington Post covered ESPN's elaborate planning to broadcast "a kiss that rocked the sports world" -- after openly gay Michael Sam was drafted, and they don't mean the later cake-shoving kiss that seemed a little scarier given Sam's size -- the debate over the kiss submerged the flagrant liberal editorializing that ESPN aired a few minutes before the Rams selected Sam with the 249th pick.

ESPN reporter Chris Connelly (formerly with MTV) uncorked pre-emptive anger, that if Sam went undrafted, the verdict of "history" (read: liberals) "will be derisive laughter, aimed at a league thus deemed by many to be unworthy of its place in contemporary society." Connelly attacked "tired old" prejudice and praised Sam for "weeding out the hopelessly hidebound" teams of the NFL.

I took up watching hockey after hating it for 35 years. I guarantee that racists that hate hockey’s whiteness and the homo lobby will ruin this sport too.

"Just give him the MVP right now, before the training camps even open"

Yep, same idea. Then Obama can invite him to the White House to celebrate so they can party and share their experiences.

If even one player was passed over in favor of Sam, it’s still an injustice.

ESPN can always hire him as an announcer. He doesn’t even have to be qualified. Just do it.

Well, it was obvious Sam was selected because he’s gay, not because he has any talent. Just think of all the other, better players who didn’t make it so this loser could be drafted.

Similar in so many ways to Bathhouse Barry.

If ESPN is so hidebound to demand Sam be a member of an NFL TEAM, regardless of talent, perhaps their demands of homosexuals be included should be expanded to the NHL, MLB, NBA, and to ESPN themselves.

That would be a lot more understandable because (1) he was a heterosexual and (2) he would be kissing his wife, Rachel Robinson. I personally don’t like to see wet, sloppy kisses from anybody much less homosexuals. It’s just that homos publicly kissing is revolting....male or female.

I’m actually surprised that ESPN and other libs in the sports world haven’t been agitating for Collins to get in the games.

So, then, will the Rams be homophobic and all that, if Sam doesn’t make the team coming out of training camp?

Look for him to suffer career-ending injuries in training camp. Nobody blocking him will want to be "the one the queer beat"; he'll take a pounding.

Yeah, but they still have a lot of cuties. Much to my wife’s consternation. (She gives me a sour look when I mention a cutie.) I’d actually rather watch the LPGA than the PGA when Tiger isn’t playing.

You can bet next season the Rams will come from behind in most of their games.

I like to watch the Stanley Cup. I wonder how many people know that one of the best players in hockey, P.K. Subban, is black?
