“My real honest opinion is that he was flat-out horrible,” a “big time NFL agent” reportedly told the news website. “He did not belong out there.”

Other reports mentioned that Sam — who made history as the first openly gay player drafted in the NFL when the St. Louis Rams took him in the seventh round in 2014 — clocked unofficial 40-yard dash times of 5.07 and 5.10 seconds. Sam ran a 4.91 at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis and an unofficial 4.69 at Missouri’s pro day.

To make matters worse, TMZ Sports claims an NFL scout at the veteran’s combine was concerned about Sam’s attitude.

“He thinks he’s a superstar,” the scout reportedly told TMZ Sports. “It would be nice if he could do something on the field to back up the attitude.”


Spoken like a bunch of true homophobes

I think everyone needs to get together and just decide that an active pro athlete still hasn't come out of the closet yet, just like we did with John Amaechi. That way we can live this whole thing over again

It's funny that people still make this joke.

Sooooo many posters were ranting about the media backlash that would happen when he was cut, and it never happened.

Was there even 1 notable media member to say anything of the sort?

Granted, I know I'm overreacting to your post title, but nonetheless.

I hate these kinds of stories. Same thing with "anonymous NFL GM". If you want to bash a player, put your name on it pussy.

The bottom line is he would be in the league if he didn't suck dick.

there were plenty of people, on this board and in the media, that cried foul over the SEC defensive player of the year being cut.

Unfortunately for him, he's not good enough for the league and it seems like he's a bit of a diva.

I still remember one of the ESPN New York guys saying he could be a special teamer, because if he made a tackle it would pump the whole stadium up. Stuff like that doesn't help anyone, much less someone who is not physically gifted enough to play special teams.

I don't recall anyone in the media doing so.

There's nothing to gain from that.

Why don't you change your username to your actual name?

Is the media using my opinion for a story?

All the more reason to put your name on it and for the GM to not put his name on it.

Michael Sam is blackballed because he's too slow to play LB and too small to play DE. End of story.
