So glad Michael Sam was drafted

He has set a great example to other gay athletes that they can pursue their dreams without having to lie about who they are.

Don't really care. Sexual orientation has nothing to do with how you play.

 

Michael Sam- The Ram Man! :MARIS61:

 

How many jimmies do you think were rustled when this came on the tv screen?

 

They're the wrong way. :MARIS61:

 

Confused this with the "our parties suck" thread.

I think.

 

and therefore it is not important because sports > all other issues

 

This. I mean, who cares if he's a *** or not. The key is whether or not he can contribute. And his team thinks he can.

 

It is only important because it is not important.

That is a good thing.

 

Lots of people do. Probably most of the people that call gay people ***s.

 

I hope he becomes a legit player. Nothing better than a gay guy kicking ass as a gritty defensive player in the NFL.

 

ALL DEM TITTIES

hoop fam

 

It's great that you guys don't care whether he's gay or not, but this matters. Like I said, this sets an example to other gay athletes that they don't have to lie about who they are to pursue their dreams. Also, this helps young people who think they're alone because they're gay. This may reduce suicide rates. There are lots of young gay people who end up killing themselves because they think that who they are is wrong. Now, they have a role model, a football player no less, who is sending them a message that it's okay to be who you are.

 

I guess now we'll see if he makes the team. It's a big step though. I think he's more important to the gay community than Jason Collins.

 

I hope so. The problem I see is that people often hide it or even try to change that they are gay. Or other people try to change them. That poor girl or boy in that thread with the offensive sign is right, but if society would just give it a rest already and accept the facts, maybe people won't kill themselves.

As I lose weight, multiple positive things are happening. Yet there were benefits I miss, yes even obesity has benefits. They definitely don't outweigh the negatives. No pun intended.

 

Sam now saying he should have been a 3rd round pick. Shut your mouth and make the team.

 

Sam and his boyfriend partied until 4am in Vegas last night, according to reports. Does the guy even care about making the team? I'm honestly wondering, because he's been mouthing off ad now partying, and he's not good enough of a player to be mouthing off and partying immediately after being drafted.

 

This is just like when Jeremy Lin broke barriers and proved to oppressed Asians everywhere there is an alternative to medical school and accounting!

 

lol.
