    I was rooting for him. Not because he is gay, but because he is an underdog. I admire his willingness to try, against a lot of hurdles and attention that most of us will never know.

              Sorry TC- I'll just leave my opinion on the gay\lesbian question out of it. He just flat out wasn't good enough to play professional football. If he was, he'd still be playing somewhere.

              Do you think he deserves special consideration because of his sexual orientation?

                He may not have been good enough to play NFL football, but I would have thought based on what I saw of his talent level that the CFL could have been a fit for him. That he would leave Montreal.....which was "gay friendly" long before even San Francisco was tells that something else was in play....not sure what....the homesickness? something else?

                Maybe he can still be an Arena League player.

                  No, I think he's a subpar football player, and said as much before the draft. I firmly bieve he was, at most, the third best defensive lineman on that Missouri team.

                  But some of the people in here can't seem to separate off-field life with on-field life. The guy isn't bad at football because he's homosexual. He's bad because he's not an athletic freak, not a very technical player, doesn't possess fluid hips, etc.

                  Yet, he's a homo. Or a cunt. Or a sissy. Or a drama queen. Or anything else these guys have been calling him since he was drafted.

                        What I think is interesting is how the LGBT community has dumped him like a used condom. Pre, During and Post draft had Sam all over the media and twitter verse and all other social media. The LGBT community crowned Sam their new poster boy, one to carry the torch for those that feel the world needs to know and accept their sexual preferences. Yet, 2 years later, where is the LGBT community, oh that's right, they have posterized their new Queen, Caitylin Jenner, who is the new hero and brave warrior of the LGBT community. Sam is now just another ordinary person, like everyone else. His sexual orientation is now no longer needed by the LGBT community because he will serve them no purpose.

                        Not that this is any difference in the heterosexual world, but that is also another point. In the grand scheme of all things, who you prefer to have sex with means nothing to the world. Yet, the LGBT community tries to make it tantamount, unless you do you nothing for them.

So him failing or quitting is a topic that people will have a strong opinion on. We were bombarded with his sexuality due to his arrogance and 15 minutes of fame. So his failure is like a train wreck that the media (he used) will exploit.

                            Sam's footwork in football is as terrible as his feet in dancing. But it does lead to the question nobody want's to ask but here we goes. So does this mean there is only 2 things in Texas, Steers and Queers?? 😮😉

                              Is the station relevant? Because other players go on, or are the subject of, reality TV shows on other channels.

                                He and only him are solely responsible for the microscope he is under. Wrong.

                                So him failing or quitting is a topic that people will have a strong opinion on. We were bombarded with his sexuality due to his arrogance and 15 minutes of fame. So the man is to blame for the will of the media.

                                So his failure is like a train wreck that the media (he used) will exploit. I'd love to know how he used the media. Please explain.

                                In August 2013, Sam took the opportunity of a team introduce-yourself session to inform his Missouri teammates that he was gay, and found them supportive.[45] He avoided talking to the media to avoid addressing rumors of his sexuality.

                                Sounds like he exploited the media to me.

                                  If he had been a decent player he would have made it on a team. His preferences had nothing to do with anything. He was a late round pick by the "home" team and he just did not show the talent to make the 53 man roster. End of story but give him a hand, as you would anyone, for trying to make it in the NFL.

                                    League made calls regarding potential placement of Sam on practice squad

                                    Some think the Rams did the NFL a favor by using the 249th overall pick in the draft on defensive end Michael Sam. Now, it appears that the NFL asked multiple teams to do Sam a favor by giving him a job, after the Rams cut him.

                                    Peter King of TheMMQB.com reported during Thursday night’s pregame show on NBC that the NFL contacted multiple teams regarding their potential interest in signing Sam as a practice-squad player.

                                    The effort to find a job for the NFL’s first openly gay player shows that Sam will indeed be treated differently than other players.

                                    In the NFL it is all about competition and winning and the best players win out. The NFL had no business in trying to get teams to sign Sam. None. If the NFL has done that for other players I stand corrected but they have not as far as I know and it is not fair to make exceptions.

                                      Wasn't a pro player material wise, just was apparently looking for

                                      a lawsuit to file,

                                      except he did get into the NFL, and didn't make it, went to

                                      canadian football and did...

                                      except he didn't want to. Just wanted a lawsuit for being "discriminated against"

                                      Just my opinion. That's why he quit

                                      And the NFL trying to talk teams into giving him a practice squad place?

                                      Pitiful. Afraid of the legal, financial, or political repercussions.

                                      Or something. Good riddance, perpetual victimhood.

                                        Maybe someone called him a name and Canada hasn't passed the hate crime laws yet that protect every person from ever being called a name from kindergarten through college.
