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.

Disney owned (family friendly) ESPN has to tread carefully or at a minimum IGNORE the situation.
Their ESPN complex plays host to multiple sports event competitions for high school students.

What’s going to happen when Sam gets cut and doesn’t make the team?
He'll be a short term celebrity of sorts then when his camera appeal dies out, he'll turn to drugs and alcohol and destroy himself within the free sex culture of homosexuality........
20 years from now there will be an ESPN special on "Whatever Happened to Michael Sam?" and they will blame his death on financial ruin and "personal demons".......

How about remove ESPN from all channels. They might show a bunch of guys kissing. Has anyone ever cared about watching draftees beyond the first day? Why was there any national media on hand for a late draft pick. Really late.

This should be interesting when they play the Packers Particularly when a preoccupied broadcaster switches the initial consonant sounds of the opponent's city-name ....

the NYC controlled and based media (you don’t want to know what msm stands for on dating sites) is totally infested with homosexuals in production chairs and editorial staff.
Also remember the NYT is a homosexual shop.

Yes, and this is why I asked -- did ESPN actually show M. Sam "licking cake from his boyfriend's lips"? Or was the OP just being mildly sarcastic?

I got the Kentucky Derby program. There was a section for celebrity sightings and one was an actor or singer “and his fiancé” who was another man. Did I really need to see that in the Kentucky Derby program?

It is going to be extremely difficult for him to make the Rams team. They have two of the best d-ends in the league and the two guys backing them up are very good as well.

I guess they’re hoping to merchandise Rams gay paraphernalia.

That’s what happens when I respond to a post without reading all the other posts.
