Why promote activities that do not lead to positive outcomes?
Heterosexuals like Hitler, Stalin, etc. have destroyed a lot more lives and killed more people than those diseases. Next inane argument please.

Why are you judging? [MOD CUT/personal attack]

the FACT of the matter is that michael sam is an average football player. he was projected as a 4th round draft pick. the mainstream media called him a "star." he decided to hold a lebron james type press conference to announce that he was gay. that is not good. he has since been seen dancing on table tops without a shirt on at a gay bar. that's not good. I am doubting he'll be drafted at this point. no way I would waste a draft pick on him.

He was an outstanding player in college ball's best division. In the NFL he may well only become an average player, but he will get drafted and will get a good look.

Hitler's heterosexuality is questionable.

you are incorrect. the media painted him as a "star." he was a projected 4th round draft pick. you can't be an idiot and get drafted. he has massive character concerns.

He is the SEC defensive player of the year for heaven's sake and has been a finalist or semi-finalist for a number of awards including the Lombardi, and Bronco Nagurski award as the nations top defensive player. There are not a lot of players with his bonafides.

left wing media dictates your opinion. sad really. he is a projected 4th round draft pick. he is undersized, and he built up stats vs. crap teams. but that has nothing to do with the topic. he is a problem, and might not be drafted.

Default Father of Sam troubled by news son is gay

While Michael Sam has mostly received an outpouring of support since announcing that he is gay, his father is struggling with the news, according to a published report.

Sam revealed to his Missouri teammates he is gay last August, but he didn't disclose his sexual orientation to his parents until last week. He said Sunday in interviews with ESPN's "Outside The Lines" and The New York Times that he is gay.

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.
