They recently announced Michael Sam will be a contestant on Dancing with the Stars this season.

What's your opinion on this?

Is he a "celebrity"? Is he a "star"? He has not played in the NFL, and was one of the last players drafted in the last round in 2014 before being cut in preseason. He was referred to as a "marginal NFL player" in the article I read making the announcement.

Does he deserve this attention?

He'll get ratings, so I'd say they're plenty justified in choosing him.

I don't really care but this exposes the ABC/Disney agenda in bright glowing light. this guy is a nobody for all intents and purposes. Yet he is a star because he is gay. so dumb.

Yea, this definitely exposes them.

Kind of like the daughter of some duck hunters with a very conservative message exposed them.

Would it surprise you if they had him dancing with a guy?

But, who cares?

No. But, then again, no one on Dancing with the Stars is a star. They're all a bunch of has-beens or never-was's.

he's only being asked to be on the show cause of his gayness and here he just says he wants to be like everyone else and a football player.

I wonder if he's even going to try out for a team this year or if his 'career' is done.
