NFL Draft

[Marshal Dillon]

Did you guys enjoy seeing Michael Sam and his little qu**r boyfriend holding hands and hugging at the end of the draft?  Very touching.

I understand that the Sam story is a story, but ESPN's fawning coverage and efforts to paint Sam as the bravest man who's ever lived and Jackie Robinson of our generation were more than a little irritating. 

Coming out as gay in a culture that celebrates homosexuality is about as brave as announcing you're a Republican in Alabama.

Bingo, you nailed it. It's what I call phony liberal courage. Courage implies you have something to lose, like your health (a beating), your life, your job, etc. A soldier in combat or even in training displays real courage, Civil Rights protesters in the 1950's & mid 1960's, risked life & limb. Liberals now consider courage stating the liberal mantra, like attacking Christianity, but staying mum on Islamic extremism.

The NFL is a great league and the most popular sport in the world but they have gone overboard with political correctness. They have a huge platform and should use it to make a positive difference in the world and not to promote gay rights.

I do not care if a gay man plays in the NFL or not until he starts acting like Liberace then I have a big problem with it.

Pretty impressive list of players.

It is amazing to me people accept this more than Tim Tebow display of his Christianity.

 I agree. The NFL made Tebow stop putting Bible verses in his eye black because it offended some people.

BINGO!! That's the hypocrisy of the whole situation.

Well, I knew this was coming.

“From last season alone, I should’ve been in the first three rounds. SEC Defensive Player of the Year, All-American,” Sam said during a conference call, adding that other teams chickened out on selecting him

Well that explains a lot.  Did the NFL get the memo that AJ is NOT gay?  Did they see the picture of AJ and his future wife eating cupcakes?

And this might be why teams didn't draft him.  Even forgetting the media circus, is he going to play the gay card every time something doesn't go his way?
