This writer takes no prisoners. Worth reading the entire article.

I guess if Sam could play football as well as he could suck a dick he would still be playing.

quote:

Queue up the sappy violin music that usually accompanies left-stream media sob stories. As the Albany Times-Union tells us, it was three years ago today that former University of Missouri football player Michael Sam “came out to the world.” Hauling himself and a huge chip on his shoulder up to speak before a few hundred students at the University of Albany Tuesday as part of “Sexuality Month” activities (take that, NY taxpayers!), he blamed others for his failure to make it in pro football.

Sam said he “always felt like an outsider” and felt “apart from his peers” because two older brothers died, he was bullied by other family members and because of his mother’s Jehovah’s Witness religion.

“I had to prove myself, to show that I was one of the guys,” said Sam, who was just one of the guys – in the sense that he was a good college player and nothing more.

That's what happens when you give people something they haven't earned. Reality hits and they assume the world is out to get them.

You should edit your post if you don't want it to get whacked. Can't post entire articles.

What did he get that wasn't earned? He didn't make a pro roster.

He should have rethought that statement before speaking. Most, maybe all, of those guys don't eat the same round steak he does.

The publicity he got before the draft, is the only reason he was drafted at all.

And then the NFL calling around begging teams to sign him

He earned none of that shite.

I guess. He didn't make a roster, so I can't feel like he was gifted too much.

If he was in a huddle with 11 other players, is that still 12 men in the huddle penalty?

You mean, if he is inserted into one of the eleven men in the huddle? No I don't think that'd be a penalty, bc male sodomy is when 2 become 1.

He was not good enough to be drafted. No difference between him and potential drafts that drop a few rounds for off the field stuff. Or Manziel being drafted higher than he should because of merchandising.

The fact that he was not successful in the NFL has nothing to do with his choice of lollipop, and everything to do with the fact that he was not an NFL caliber defenseive end in the first place.

Too small to be a DE, too slow to be an OLB. Hell he got a lot more of a shot than most. Even got drafted by St Louis which was terrible and would have loved a story to get a local kid on the team with all the surrounding pub.

Making an NFL team is hard, DWI.

Yeah. Could you imagine an NFL executive intentionally choosing a car less player solely because of the sexuality of the better player (my Browns are notable exception to logic)?

In other words, skills and talent >>>> sexual preference.

Although like Tim Tebow, when you compare them to players at their mediocre level, I think the non-football relayed notoriety probably gave them a lesser chance than those without it.
