Sam is making the squad because Goddell will force them. He might allow the Rams to hide Sam on the practice squad.

I bet he already has the lawsuit written up ready to be filed.

The NFL is obviously homophobic. What happens in the bedroom is more important than what happens on the field.

He needed only to rob a liquor store over the weekend, then he would have been assured of making the team.

I can’t believe they won’t keep him on the practice team at least. Other issues aside, he’s had some good moment (albiet against second and third team offensive lineman). The guy was a good college player, and plays above his size and skill set. Given that they took on this situation voluntarily, I don’t see them completely letting him go.

The “first openly gay player” is a tweener DL... Not big enough to play inside. Not tall enough to play DE and not fast enough to play OLB.

He was getting a little behind in his training.

I saw this coming. He’ll probably bring on a law suit.

“He’s no different than any other late-round pick or college free agent that we have.”

IMO it’s a shame that he even has to qualify that........and being from Jacksonville I am by NO means a jeff fisher fan.

But...but...but...he takes it up the...but...but...but...

Doesn’t that afford him some sort of protected class protection from performance vs. diversity.

That’s not fair...the NFL sucks!

Sarcasm tag really shouldn’t be required, should it.
