Michael Sam gained overnight fame by becoming the first openly gay football player to be drafted into the NFL.

Now the 25-year-old Texan will show off his soft shoe by joining the celebrity contenders on season 20 of Dancing With The Stars, according to TMZ.

Anybody really surprised by this? Only question is will he be paired with a male or a female dancer?

His “soft shoe?”

More like his “light loafer.”

[Cowboy Bob]

He never played NFL football...

[dforest]

Lets hope ISIS doesn’t get him first and throw him off the leaning tower of pizza.

Who will his partner be? Mark? Val?

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

“Oooh how fabulous I totally cannot wait to tell my boyfriends oooh-hooo!”

[cripplecreek]

He spent a lot of time practicing at the Blue Oyster.

Doesn't matter. He could be in a full body cast and win this BS prize.

Which judge wants to vote against this queer and be labeled a homophobe?

[Hugin]

There you go, letting facts get in the way of the media narrative.

[SunkenCiv]

At least when he loses in a showbiz context, particularly dancing, he can't play the LGBT-card. But imagine the humiliation, gay, can't win a dance competition, born loser.

[SamAdams76]

You are correct. He will automatically win the contest. Otherwise the judges will be condemned as homophobes.

Just like any boy putting on a dress in high school will automatically be crowned "Homecoming Queen" at the school dance. If you are a real girl, forget about it. You do not have a chance in hell.

Turns out that boys are even better than girls at being girls.

Or so, you would think.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Rin Tin Tin.

[headstamp 2]

I wonder if he likes show tunes also.

[JimSEA]

Well, you did start my morning with an laugh.

“the 25-year-old Texan will show off his soft shoe”

I have a feeling that’s not all he’s gonna show off. They do seem to have a flair for the dramatic.

[V_TWIN]

“He never played NFL football”

Being a Cowboys’ fan, I will agree with that.

[fatnotlazy]

I'm surprised anyone watches that shlock. The alphabet networks apparently have their orders to provide glitzy mindless entertainment for the masses. It keeps the people stupid and easy to control.

[skams19]

So if he doesn’t win, is it because everyone is homophobic?

[V_TWIN]

From the article:

“the Rams cut him from the NFL team at the end of the training season, which obviously didn’t sit well with Michael.

“I think I was the SEC Defensive Player of the Year last year... so I don’t think it had to do with talent,” Michael was quoted as saying to TMZ in December.

And there we have it, the gay victim angle “they cut me because I’m a homo”.

A lot of players excel in college and fail in the nfl, happens every year.
