My what a serious asshole you are bucs90 to actually have the balls to put up such a thread.
I love it when "liberals" make such blanket assumptions. You showed true colors here bucs90.
Bigot. You are a bigot.

Sure this makes sense....if your on heavy drugs
I'm not getting this at all. Apparently the dude is awesome on the field. I come from ticats Hamilton and yes I know my football.
I am commenting on the position that he will be targeted on the field
Anyone who targets him will pay the price. Each play is analyzed and cheap shots will be lead stories on ESPN
I don't know if Sam will make it. The analysis I saw was ....too slow, to small and too weak
But he is a groundbreaker in saying....Yes, I am gay, deal with it
He will make it easier for gays in the future
Just a point here... You think an opposing player will want to hit on Sam??
More importantly how many gays are into sports, specifically the NFL?
First there are At least 5 percent of American men, I estimate, are predominantly attracted to men,
http://www.nytimes.com/2013/12/08/opinion/sunday/how-many-american-men-are-gay.html?_r=0
That means of the 146,885,000 men in the United States in 2008 less then 8 million are gay.. leaving 138 million non-gay.
How many many watch NFL ?
Adweek/ Harris Poll the name is accurate as almost two thirds of U.S. adults say they currently watch NFL football (64%),
including almost three quarters of men (73%) and over half of women (55%).
2/3 of 310 million is 207 million of which 73% or 140 million are males.
So what do you think will happen if 140 million males 95% non-gay decide.. hmmm... I'll just find something else to watch???
The GOP lost yet another small battle today.
The National Football League....the beacon of macho manliness in America, had it's collegiate player draft today.
And former University of Missouri defensive end Michael Sam, SEC defensive player of the year, was drafted in the 7th round by the St Louis Rams. He is considered a "tweener", too slow to play LB, too small for DE, but very talented, so he's getting his shot.
ESPN showed him at his home with his partner, a white man. So, basically, a gay interracial couple, kissing on national TV on ESPN, after Sam was drafted into the manliest of sports, the NFL.
And what happened? Nothing. The public is fine with it. His future St Louis teammates welcomed him and basically said lets get to work and win some ball games. ESPN analysts spoke of the significance of the moment...and them spoke of how Sam will fit in with the Ram's scheme and their incredibly talented defense.
The public is just fine with it. So are his teammates.
Only the GOP seems to have a problem with gay people. And society will remember it.

Why would they care what a player does in his personal life?
I watch football because I want to see my beloved Giants win. I really don't care about the players personal lives.
only the gop....lmao....you're such a fucking tool
see prop 8 in CA to know that there are dems who have a problem with gay people
you ignorant fool
The guy will end up being a target on the field. Lots of testosterone on a NFL team, he better play smart and keep his mouth shut. How long before he plays the fag card? If he gets cut, this is all we will hear about, not if he was good enough to play for the NFL, but that the faggot got cut because of homophobia.
My guess: he's cut before opening day. Michael Sam is not an NFL-caliber player. (Which is why he was drafted ~250th!)
Getting down to the business of football, I agree.
Sam's performance in teh Combine left a lot ot be desired.
If anything, Sam is a "project"...If he makes it as an NFL player so be it. He could end up on a practice squad which will at least keep him getting paid.
Atlas Shrugged was about a gay football player? No way. 1984 was about gay rights? Are you sure?
liberalism and thought control. your ignorance is no excuse for your arrogance.
My children won't be watching ESPN anymore
as for this so so football player, why the hell are we suppose to care? can someone give us a clue? like the brilliant oh so Tolerant know it all, OP
Hall of Famers:only the gop....lmao....you're such a fucking tool
see prop 8 in CA to know that there are dems who have a problem with gay people

lol...See?

No, he won't. As much as you want it to happen.

Do you mean like Tom Brady, who was a 6th round pick; or Shannon Sharpe, a seventh round pick; or Richard Dent, an 8th round pick?
Nah...none of them ever managed to do anything in the NFL.
And...Michael Sam was named the AP's SEC Defensive Player of the Year in 2013 and received the Arthur Ashe Courage Award.
He was, prior to coming out, a sure 3-5th round draft projectee, so his actions certainly diminished his draft status. But that's moot now, isn't it?
Whether he makes it or not, he's made history as the first openly gay man in the NFL.
Just like Kenny Washington (who signed a contract with - coincidentally - the Rams) to become the first black football player in the league and George Taliaferro, who was the first man drafted by the NFL in 1949.
Not at all. Just commenting on NFL history.
The NFL is now predominantly black. It was not always that way. Like most sports, the NFL struggled to integrate. The first black players were targeted for punishment. Ask Jim Brown.
They survived. If Sam is tough enough, he will survive
Unlike Jim Brown, we have instant replays and 24 hour sports networks. If people are taking cheap shots on Sam, they will be called on it
The GOP is part of this how?
You just drafted the straw man, and now you cut him from the team? That was quick.
.
I'm sorry....but I fail to see where I mentioned the GOP at all
But if you ask my opinion, I think the GOP is rooting for Sam to fail. They like their gays to be silent and behind the scenes
