Yes
No
well, one thing for sure is Sam is going to make a lot of money even if he never plays a down in the NFL.
Some people are questioning if Jason Collins is truly gay because he had a GF for 8 years and dropped the news in what looked like a last ditch effort to catch on with a team.
I'm trying not to be skeptical about this news but after watching Macklemore win 3 or 4 grammys while pushing gay marriage...
Frank Ocean "come out" right before his album dropped...
Jason Collins get invited to every award show on earth...
Every new TV show having a gay character...
One has to wonder if this is a perfectly times announcement to get his name in the news.
Who the hell was Sam 3 or 4 days ago?
Im not disagreeing with you at all, but it is completely ignorant to think religions love everyone and are gay accepting lol.
They might put god loves everyone on their mailings i guess.
Also, i think its bs that everyone would be ok with it....gayness is not accepted in 2014. I think it's naive to think that people aren't bothered by homosexuality anymore.
I think what's happening is homosexuality is getting the same treatment that racism gets. It's become closeted (no pun). 20 years ago it was socially acceptable to openly hate gay people. That's why it was so open. 20 years ago it wasn't socially acceptable to openly hate some minorities. So they didn't. But it still existed, it was just behind closed doors.
Today homosexuality faces the same problem. It's no longer socially acceptable to openly make fun of them. So it will become closeted hate like racism. The hate didn't go away, it just evolved.
Black males are also one of the least accepting races of gayness. Sure, coming from me id saying something just like you where a white guy would be happy to be fighting the bad guys next to a black guy, but football is not war, its a childs game played by a lot of very ignorant very spoiled people.
EDIT: I'd also like to add, when Aaron Rodgers gay rumors were cirlcing a few weeks ago i saw someone post a comment "Aaron Rodgers cant be gay, hes a beast at football and has said he loves jesus".....lol come on now, THATS what uneducated + religion brings to the table

It would be similar if we were talking about Johnny Manziel being the gay dude instead of Michael Sam. African American dudes had to be superstars to break the color barrier. In this case, we're just talking about a Joe Shmo. If Jackie Robinson had Michael Sam level talent, he woulda never got a shot to play ball ever. In that regard, it's a ridiculous comparison.
That's easy. He was a good college player who had a chance to get drafted higher than he will now.
Not because of what he is, but because of the media circus he has guaranteed will accompnay him into the NFL. Whoever advised him to make the announcement and go public gave him some really bad career advice.
"My team, may they always be right, but right or wrong...MY TEAM!"
I dont think it was bad advice if hes willing to be Mike Sam, the gay NFL player
If mizzou knows, NFL teams know...now it doesnt look like hes hiding something (which would push him down even further). He is going to be able to cash in on this one way or another, I hope its becoming a good football player and not just a bunch of crying on talk shows about how being gay never gave him a chance in the NFL
I still think he goes undrafted, he is a draftable player but he isnt a slam dunk prospect to begin with.
