NEW YORK -- It took nearly the entire draft, but Michael Sam and the NFL finally made history.

The St. Louis Rams used the 249th pick in the seventh round to select Sam, who has officially become the league's first openly gay player.

Being picked by St. Louis means Sam will stay in the state where he played college football as a standout at the University of Missouri.

And ESPN made sure to cover him licking cake off his boyfriends lips..several times

Really? I sure am glad I no longer have cable or satellite TV ........ I don't want to pay for that perversion coming into my home.

The NFL just committed suicide.

Certainly the St. Louis Ram's have ... anything they do from this point forward that doesn't favor "Sam the Ram" is going to be met with howls of homophobia .....

Better get used to it - their lease is up at the end of this year, and they'll be moving back to LaLaLand.

Where will they play? Maybe Jack Kemp Stadium at Occidental College, which would be available on Sundays. They wouldn't have to worry about losing TV coverage by not selling out, since it only seats 2,400.
Short term? The Rose Bowl. They just got permission from Pasedena to host additional games every year, enough to accommodate an NFL season.

Long term? Their owner just secretly bought a stadium-sized plot of land across the street from the Forum. Ready to build.

Either way, they're done in Missouri.

Don’t know about that but surely as cameras scan the crowd, Sams might be selecting his date later that day.

....did ESPN actually show M. Sam "licking cake from his boyfriend's lips"?

Unfortunately the answer is yes.... not just once but several times.

The upchucking has finally stopped, but I'm still having the dry heaves as a reaction! The Gaystapo achieved a twofer with this one..... Sam becomes the first openly gay NFL draft pick AND he's black.

During a commercial break in tonight’s NASCAR race from Kansas City, the sports anchorette at FOX showed a clip of Michael Sam getting the news that he had been drafted, and Sam was hugging and kissing his effeminate boyfriend.

Stomach churning.

According to the faggots on blogs they don’t do that. I always call BS on that one because if I was in a women’s locker room I would be looking.

It would have been better for him if he had kept his mouth shut but then he would not have been drafted. Easier to get get sneak peeks if no one knows you are a mentally ill pervert.

BSPN has really been promoting this..its like WOW what an accomplishment..249th pick..so basically it was between Michael Sam and a house cat LOL..if he had been picked in the top 10 yeah maybe that would have been something to report but really, 249th pick is apparently something to be proud of now
Of course this fruit is gonna check out the guys in the locker room, if I were those players I wouldn’t shower alongside him, knowing what he is thinking..oh and wear extra padding when on the field

Yea, kinda like how they held press conferences for the other homo in the NBA. A late season acquisition and the fruit is a career bench warmer.

“What’s to say the NFL doesn’t create a position within the front office for him? Perhaps as some sort of liaison between the League and the LGBT community in order to increase visibility and gain viewers within the homosexual ranks. Director of LGBT Initiatives (or something along that line).”

I’m sure they already know and watch NFL games and the NFL doesn’t need a “homosexual ambassador” to the homo community.

Adios football. It is now the all gay all the time league. Now we forever heard “first gay” in ever single comment about the nfl.

You know what would be interesting though and what would absolutely destroy the libs, is if conservatives accepted gays. To me, being a conservative is all about freedom, utmost freedom above everything else. I like what Ted Nugent said when he was interviewed by Piers Morgan “If your son told you he was gay how would you react?” And Ted said “I would tell him knock yourself out. I find gay sex utterly repulsive, it gets me sick just thinking about it, but if that is what you are into, more power to you” and I tend to think that way as well. What right does the government have telling someone how they should “get off”? I can understand the whole religious issue, but you go down that road then you are no different from the Muslims. “Do not tread on me” is the motto I live by. If these freaks want to screw each other, more power to them, just avoid getting me involved. This is how you defeat fascists - You embrace freedom at every turn no matter how insane it seems.

“...just a bench warmer..”

“C’mon guys. Let’s when this one. And it’s not just the bench that’s getting warm! C’mon - who want’s to be the hero? I’ll be the goat!”

I stopped watching Brooklyn ever since they signed him. he does not play, waste of a roster slot just to appease the weirdo crowd. The White House resident even made a statement about Sam. World War Three is getting ready to start and he is concerned about some scrub flamer.

Even though as a Laker fan I cant stand LeBron James(Also because he’s a huge Obama kiss ass and promoted Commiecare) I still root for the Heat over the Brooklyn Fairies..the only reason why they signed him is to get media attention, it’s not like he can actually play..throughout the years in the NBA he averaged 2 minutes a game..yep TWO MINUTES..he comes out as a fudge packer and all of a sudden he’s the bees knees..they just come out as gay to get on a good team
