Quite right since I don’t think he ever actually played in an NFL game. Maybe something like “first openly gay who signed an NFL contract and put on an NFL uniform during practice”.

He played in a couple of pre-season games with the Rams. Not sure if that counts.

He’s done pretending to be a football player, so now he’s going to pretend he’s married.

More accurate to say “Tool whose drafting checked an important diversity box and allowed the allowed the Rams’ ownership to gain permission to escape the hellhole that is St. Louis to return to the just slightly less hellish Los Angeles.” :)

Sam, the first openly gay NFL player

"He" is not an NFL player. Sam never played in a single NFL game, and only lasted a half season on the practice squad for the Cowboys before being cut.

If this is so normal and main stream, why do we continue to hear about this, otherwise, nobody?

New York Daily News has a fetish for people who suffer from orificial confusion.

Well, they clearly are not equal since they cannot have children.

Ooooh! You must be one of those hater-breeders. Why do you hate people who cannot have children, huh? <----liberalspeak

“NFL Player”

How many downs did he play in an NFL regular season?

NONE!

Maybe I missed the official coming out party for Jeter?

My very gay theater prof. in college said it was well known within the homo community that Jeter is a switchhitter.

Nope. He never made it to the NFL.

“Who cares?”

Know what? If we don’t care all of this goes away. Take it out of the national headline and don’t discuss it in debates and you take one of the two major issues away from the rats.”

I thought he was no longer on any roster so he is not a NFL player, right?

He was the first openly gay football player to be drafted and cut from an NFL team. The NFL currently doesn’t have an openly gay player on any of its team rosters.
