Michael Sam. Missouri Tiger and SEC Defensive Player of the Year Comes Out As Gay

[ItsWhatIDo]

guess what will happen if he doesnt get drafted or gets drafted in a late round?

herp derp do you think its because youre gay???

They still throw up a story about Jason Collins every once in awhile.

I voted for gay marriage in MD, and definitely not homophobic. But just like Tim Tebow, being passionate about something to the media whether your religion or sexuality is probably going to hurt you and not because of your sexuality.

I suspected our D Line might have some gays when they got buttfuked by Auburn for 3 hours.

Took one look at this guy's face and was like "yup definitely gay"

Who gives a ****? This is seriously the only thing they're talking about on ESPN, NFL Network etc. It's a ****ing joke.

Well, that's because it is the NFL. Honestly, if it was any other sport, it would get attention, but not this much and for not as long as it will. The NFL is constantly talked about, ever noticed how NFL shows on ESPN are on all year around? Until the combine, there won't be much to talk about, so they need something.

[Dangled]

Pissin me off how mizzou tweets "we are are so proud of you".

Give me a fukin break. Why is this still being the top article on espn? Move on.

I know it's not him craving for attention, but this gay propaganda is annoying.

[solidus2k3]

keep your anguses safe NFL offenses

[CurryTech777]

this is why i hate gay people

what was the point of coming out??? oh yea to attention whore

lol

yea i'm sure he didn't do it for his community of anything. I mean in no way will his media presence shine light on the issue of gay rights, not one bit. It must really rustle your jim jams that the best defensive player in the best conference is homosexual.

if i can make an analogy, it's the same as nfl players admitting they are diabetic or have some other condition. Does it make them one of the spokesman for the issue? Yes of course, but more importantly it gives others hope seeing someone like themselves succeed.

Pepper Brooks just weighed in on the announcement:

[tidnab]

lol @ people who don't understand why this is news worthy. yall *****s might as well turn off your tv's until after the draft because its about to be michael sam center on every news channel for a while.

It's because there are several anonymous NFL personnel people being quoted as saying the NFL is not ready for an openly gay player. That goes to show there is a story there.

[CONJbrah]

this is why i hate gay people

what was the point of coming out??? oh yea to attention whore

your jimmies are severely rustled. how does it feel to be storing all that hate inside brah? just let it out, it's clouding your judgement

[Fiyero]

ton of bisexuals? what makes you think that? srs

whats the roster per team 52? times 32..thats 1664 players total AND your saying MOST of them are Bi?

Guess it depends on how true the theory is that most humans are some degree of Bisexual, but most are subconsciously unaware or in denial of it, based on societal expectations.

Dwarf Chimpanzees, our closest evolutionary relative, are entirely bisexual as a species.

[airdog93]

this is going to sound really homo but people that get attention thrown at them and gain money fast (celebs &athletes) are more likely to engage in bisexual behaviors. Mainly through experimenting as a result of alcohol and drugs. they might not all take it in the ass, but i can bet that most of them have engaged in behavior the misc would call gay. Also, i said there were tons of bisexuals not most. If i had to say 5 dudes from every team (including practice squad) are by default bisexual.

lmfao strong fukkin source

Michael Sam Sr. told The New York Times that he received the news last Tuesday when his son wrote in a text: "Dad, I'm gay."

Sam's father took the news hard. He said he was eating at a Denny's restaurant but had to leave after receiving the text.

"I couldn't eat no more, so I went to Applebee's to have drinks," Sam Sr. told the newspaper. "I don't want my grandkids raised in that kind of environment."

Sam Sr., who described himself as "old-school," told the newspaper the idea of a gay player in the NFL bothers him, even when that person could be his own son.

He told the newspaper that late Hall of Famer Deacon Jones, the leader of the Rams' Fearsome Foursome who is credited with terming the word sack, "is turning over in his grave."

He told the newspaper, however, that he loves his son and hopes he makes it into the NFL.

"As a black man, we have so many hurdles to cross. This is just one he has to cross," Sam Sr. told The Times.





lmao

tfw get a text from your son at dennys

and hes gay

[NYY]

Probably a reason why he decided to text him the news. A lot of people in this country still feel like that. I don't know whether or not to say the reaction is wrong. The news didn't bother me at all. I wonder how many drinks the father had over his one son going to jail. I bet the answer to that is zero.

[miamigoon]

One of my friends was saying he was hooking up with a NY Giants player, but he was adamant he did not want to out him...unsure if he was telling the truth but I've never seen him lie before...

Gay dudes have a serious code of ethics when it comes to not outing people. Had a gay friend tell me he hooked up with a dude in my fraternity back in college, but he absolutely refused to tell me who when I asked.

Why would you say that? I doubt he was like "oh well" when his son went to prison.

Brb isn't just embracing the fact that his soon loves dudes
Brb probably a terrible father
Brb probably didn't care when his son got put in the slammer
