What other 7th-round pick gets as much publicity as this guy? None.

He hasn't gotten that much publicity once camp started TBH. Most of the Sam coverage has been pretty blasé stuff like "he fits in well", "his teammates like him", etc. etc. In fact, I hadn't heard about him for a few weeks until the Saints played the Rams and then it was on our radar obviously. Then I didn't hear about him for 2 more weeks until he sacked Manziel. That's not really that much "publicity" IMO.

It's only because he's gay, and the liberal media feed into that.

The people who are taking your stance ALSO said that there's no way he wouldn't be on a roster (or P.S.) because the "liberal media" or "Goodell" wouldn't allow that to happen. It would make the league look bigoted.

Well, where is this all-powerful liberal media that you speak of? There hasn't been much hoopla at all about Sam not even being signed to a PS spot when he is clearly talented enough for that. In fact, there hasn't been much media coverage at all. Like I said, mostly just recycled wire story that's pasted to all the sites. There's been very little individual reporting or hypothesizing by the guys like Peter King, Florio, etc. The "liberal guys" whom you'd expect to put heat on the teams or the league.

And if it makes you feel better, I think that Tebow was similarly black balled and wasn't judged solely on talent. There's no way in hell that Tebow couldn't have helped a few teams as the 3rd and short QB or something.
