The best payback is for all eleven guys on the Dolphins to hit the fag-boy all at once on one play when they play St. Louis, and watch him cry.

I agree, who gives a $hit!??

Michael Sam is gay, BFD. He’s there to play football. He’ll be paid to do so, if he makes the team. I don’t advocate gay marriage, but I don’t care if people are gay. Since when did being gay mean someone doesn’t know how to suddenly keep their hands to themselves?

We have free speech. Free speech doesn’t mean free from repurcussions depending upon the organization you potentially represent. Ask Donald Sterling.

But all in all - I’m just so tired of the whining - from both sides.

So does Putin. It makes his stance look all the more appealing.

Well said! Maybe if we quit making it a big deal they will stop sticking in our faces all day every day. I am to the point that I only watch the “news” for about 10 minutes a day.

Any player coming up on Sam will have an extra-pump of adrenalin to play him and push him off the field. I don’t think M. Sam can play effectively at all.

How much you want to bet any player found guilty of a personal foul against Sam, will automatically face a game suspension?

$1,000 but seriously:

A player would be guilty of a personal foul only if Sam is knocked out. Like I said, Sam has painted a big target on his back. As far as performance goes, I don't think he'd make it out of training camp. Whether politics keeps him on the team is another question.

I could see some members of the Rams colluding to make sure that Sam’s competitors look “better’ in training camp than he does.

Lucky for Michael Sam that he sleeps with men instead of worshipping Jesus Christ, or instead of being a “hero” they’d treat him like Tim Tebow.

I meant it about that pump of adrenalin. It can make a person run faster and hit harder. After all, Sam also said he should have been drafted in the first 3 rounds. It’s more than him coming out, it’s about arrogance and grabbing attention as well.

Tebow got big coverage in the media but there were few if any who had the attitude that they wanted to ring Tebow’s bell because he was so Christian or even because Tebow was getting a lot of press.

I think Sam is looking ahead to when his NFL career flames out, and want to become active in politics....I’m sure the Democrats already have a spot for him.

Johnny Football and Johnny Manziel are good for the sport, nonetheless, his cocky attitude too is going to invite the best in the opposition. But his playing for the Browns of all teams will probably dial it down a bit.

No such thing as free speech if it not politically correct.

Were his only tweets “OMG” and “horrible”?? Man, this is fascist if one can’t even say things like this.

Well...if you were not bothered by the disgusting fag kissing video maybe you belong on another website.

Perhaps Eastern/Russian Orthodoxy (in concert with Catholicism) may be able to hold because of their faith. But communism is atheistic, and wouldn’t stand a chance against islam.

Even hillary has seen the writing on that wall.

The Dolphins are a private organization. They, like the NBA, can regulate the speech of their employees as they wish
