Like other players who impress in preseason, if he is cut, he will probably be picked up somewhere else
Looks like Sam proved he belongs in the NFL
On what is your basis for that opinion?
See your post above
Good defenders, black or not, who can get to the QB are desired in the NFL
Rookies often do wonderful things in the pre-season against the 2 and 3rd string and against a rookie quarterback. I am sure he is a fine player but his proclivity and the attention it receives takes away from the TEAM aspect of the sport, may not be worth it. I am convinced that the NFL will make sure he plays somewhere.
They said the same thing about Jackie Robinson
Good player, but too much of a distraction
Again, equating being gay to being black, why does the left like to make that comparison?
Great thread. You are clearly emotionally involved in Sam's career.
People equate being gay to being black because both are conditions of birth and both form the basis for deeply held prejudicial beliefs and discriminatory behavior on the part of ignorant assholes.
The reason it matters is because the man is paving a pathway. In another few decades, it won't matter to scouts, management or the vast majority of fans in the NFL.
Grow up.
