I remember when the NFL was accused of being racist because there weren’t many blacks players. Then they got more black players and they were still accused because there were no black quarterbacks. If you are good enough, teams want you, regardless of race, creed, nationality, or sexual activities. I just doubt most homosexual guys are very good players.
The only thing that matters in the NFL is winning.
Black, brow, white, gay. Win...and no one cares. Lose, and you get cut.
This is the same reason why some business avoid interviewing and hiring disabled people and certain minorities.
Who cares?
What the hell is homophobia?
Oh you think perversion is a sin and do not accept it so you are a homophobe. Bullshit. We have to stop letting the destroyers call the shots.
I suspect he announced his queer status in order to pre excuse his failing to keep or get a job. He knows he doesn’t measure up athletically.
No. Even the Left-leaning commentators on ESPN note that Sam is too specialized a player, unusable with today’s 3-4 defenses used by the majority of NFL teams.
He was signed and kept as long as he was due to homophilia.
i guess my sarcasm was lost on all... :)

...that’s not true...try catching on with an NFL team when you’re a late round white running back...
...for that matter, white running backs in high school don’t even get a glance for Div I schools...regardless of their numbers or abilities...
i guess my sarcasm was lost on all... :)
... you might just say some people suck at irony...
ha! as a communicator, i prefer to just say, "mea culpa," put the blame on me...
No. He was cut because he stinks.
Michael Sam was not cut because of homophobia any more than Tim Tebow was cut because he was Christian. Both were cut because they lack the talent to play football at the pro level.
