Report: NFL Asked Teams To Consider Michael Sam

[Infinite_limit]

Michael Sam reportedly had a powerful ally working behind the scenes after he was cut by Rams over the weekend.

While Sam was unemployed, the NFL worked to gauge interest in the defensive end, according to football insider Peter King. Sam became the league’s first openly gay player when he was drafted in the seventh round by St. Louis.

“During that time, a league official contacted multiple teams asking if they had evaluated Sam as a probable practice squad player,” King said during Thursday’s broadcast of the season opener between Seattle and Green Bay.

“Sam and the NFL avoided a nightmare situation when he signed with the practice squad of the Dallas Cowboys,” King added.

That's pretty gay of the league.

I think DD predicted the gay variant of the Rooney rule. Looks inevitable

[benefactor]

Gays are good at getting attention though they represent only a small part of society. NFL simply tapping into that glory hole of ratings.

We see some pretty stupid stuff, stuff like alcohol is legal while pot isn't, people thinking it's "radical Islam" when in fact that is Islam. And this misconception about homosexuality. Hell no men don't wanna be around some guy who digs men. Why everyone has to accept that or else, is stupid. Everyone had to say..."I;m cool with it"...and we know it, that sucks. If a player would have said..."hell no I;m not cool with it"...he's in trouble. Look at what happened to Dungy's opinion.

There is a reason we have never had a "known" gay head coach at any level of football.

The NFL is not the place for gay men, here we have some of the biggest baddest guys on earth, little sensitivities not in their DNA. Nobody gives a damn about a guy with some wires crossed, fuck him!

Sam is an idiot anyway, he didn't have enought common sense to realize nobody wanted to see ...the kiss? He couldn't be cool there?

[leemajors]

You're an idiot.

[Avante]

You're an idiot.

How about a guy who lived with a bunch of men for 4 years and played 20 years of organized football? It's exactly like that.

I just scrolled past his post without reading, because this was how I figured I'd feel after reading it. Thanks for confirming this assumption.

I talked about how the NFL isn't ready for "known" gay players. Pretty idiotic huh?

[manufan10]

I think the league has been pretty accepting of Michael Sam. They don't care that he's gay. What matters is if he can play football. I think the bigger issue here is the media attention that it has created. The daily ESPN update throughout the whole process was crazy. They're talking nonstop about a 7th round draft pick turned practice squad player. They're talking more about Sam than the number one draft pick.

What else can the league/players say? They have no choice but to be accepting of him......none! I have no doubts of any kind that behind the scenes nobody wants the guy around. Just like at Missouri, we were led to believe it was all good there, when it really wasn't.

[spurraider21]

Why is Avante obsessed with Michael Sam?

Exactly. And the media keeps wanting to act like they aren't the ones making this an issue in the first place. No one should care that he's gay. But that goes both ways. Players will care about a scrub carrying a media circus around him.

Sam should just tell the media to go away. Directly. So long as people think he's seeking the attention, he won't really get the respect of his teammates.

[Avante]

This has nothing to do with Sam, it's about the bullshit we are seeing because of homosexuality. We aren't seeing reality here and it's obvious. We are seeing a big business doing what it must.

So why does....EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!...care that the guy is gay?

[Clipper Nation]

Not everybody does, tbh.... it sure seems to be eating at you, though :lol

[Avante]

Not everybody does, tbh.... it sure seems to be eating at you, though :lol

I just know how it really is having played the game/military/work world. It's not..."hey, it's ok with me"...at all. That's a gigantic load of bullshit and you also know it is. The players have no choice at all and that's what sucks the most. They..MUST..."cool with me"...and that's not right.

Imagine what would happen to any player that...."you fucking fagggot"...out on the field. When shit like that ain't nothing in a football game at any level.

You're also old, and the world has moved on.

That's a pretty big assumption.

[Avante]

The world has moved on, the world has moved on........WHAT IN THE FUCK ARE WE TALKING ABOUT HERE????????

Hell no the world hasn't moved on, that's why this is such a big damn deal. If the world had moved on nobody would even be talking about this at all, a total nothing. Hell no the world hasn't moved on at all....none!

When a player doesn't need to...I'M GAY!...because nobody cares at all, then the world has moved on.

I can't belioeve you said that, wow~~~~~~~~~

[Avante]

That's a pretty big assumption.

Not at all, that's reality.

[manufan10]

Not at all, that's reality.

Do you have any proof that there were issues with him at Missouri? That no one wanted him there?

You're the one constantly talking about it, stuck in the fucking mud.

[Avante]

Are you really naive enought to think in a state like Missouri it was..."alright a gay player!"...come on man. I gurantee it wasn't like we were led to believe and yes there was talk about it.

Tell me how is the gay thing at where you work, where I worked (about 800 employees) they were joked about/laughed at.....behind their back obviously. And if anyone had of been asked...."does John's gayness bother you"...it would have been a loud ..."of course not"...by all those poking fun at John.

[Avante]

You're the one constantly talking about it, stuck in the fucking mud.

I;m stuck in the mud, yet look at the attention...one...gay guy gets. I'm stuck in the mud, hahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just hate to see all the lying we are seeing over this.

[JohnnyMax]

Im with Avante on this one

[Chinook]

I do think Avante is making some good points. It's silly for people to act like Sam is only in the headlines because of people who don't want gays in the NFL. The world hasn't moved on from making a big deal out of homosexuality. It's just that now, people are trying to force it to be okay with everyone. It's like saying affirmative action ended discrimination in the workforce and in college admissions. It hasn't and in fact it keeps it a bigger deal than it should be.

The PC world is one of the biggest examples of hypocrisy out there.

You were talking in absolutes though. NO ONE wanted him there. I'm sure there were people who wanted him there just as I am sure there were people who didn't want him there.

[Clipper Nation]

I've never seen anyone be as salty and bitter about a practice squad player as Old Faggot is :lol

True, but I doubt Avante would be this fired up if Russell Wilson came out after the Super Bowl.

[SupremeGuy]

I think DD predicted the gay variant of the Rooney rule. Looks inevitableYup, it's coming. Political correctness is so fucking gay.

[Thebesteva]

We went from its ok to kill gay people, to its totally not cool to kill gay people, to its not cool to absolutely despise gay people, to if you dont love gay people a lot and worship them then you're going to lose your job. It's just too much of a 180 turn in expectations. Can't we just not give a fuck? I never gave a fuck, they seem to be nice people all bullshit aside but I dont like them much because they cant go 5 seconds without mentioning they're gay. Aside from that, I got no issues with them.

Jim Carrey and In Living Color were fucking spot on with this skit years ago when u could get away with not being PC faggots

A+ quality post

[Avante]

You were talking in absolutes though. NO ONE wanted him there. I'm sure there were people who wanted him there just as I am sure there were people who didn't want him there.

No I wasn't, there is nothing that is 100%/absolute. I just know better than to buy...."everyone was cool with Sam being gay"....in Missouri!!!

[Avante]

I've never seen anyone be as salty and bitter about a practice squad player as Old Faggot is :lol

It's not about that dummy. It's about others having to accept something most aren't cool with. Look at yourself, what's your big thing, yep....you're a faggot.......why? You being a dumb kid see that as a big cut/slam.......right?

[Avante]

True, but I doubt Avante would be this fired up if Russell Wilson came out after the Super Bowl.

It's not about the player it's about how everyone...MUST...be cool with it. Nobody is allowed to give their true opinion, that sucks! If anyone in the NFL said..."I don't want a gay teammate".......they'd be in big trouble, that's wrong.
