You REALLY think the NFL - or any league - is 'heterosexual only'? Just because other players haven't come out doesn't make them all straight. But, if it makes you fell better, continue to stay under that rock.

As to the draft picks - actually, it is a big deal when a team DOESN'T keep all of its picks in that season. The Rams alone cut FOUR of their picks in this draft, including Sam.

Four draft picks among Rams cuts

Oops...

One could hope for a time where it wouldn't be brought up for bigots to comment on.

Might want to do some fact checking on that, because you couldn't be more wrong.

Ah I see the homophobic arm-chair QB's that never wore a jockstrap past their youth are going to climb out of the wood-work.

I can tell you that the "LGBT Sports Coalition" that includes over a 100 current and former pro athlete allies, is happy with the fact that Sam proved that an openly gay athlete can play in the NFL with no distractions as some anticipated. This goes a long way in showing gay youth, college and pro athletes that may want to come out, that they will be accepted.

We will see if he gets a job.

After his play this preseason, he will easily find a job as a depth/role player. Worst case scenario he will clear waivers and spend the year on the Rams practice squad.

In the event he does not, it will have nothing to do with him being gay. Over 80 percent of pro athletes have no problem with a gay team-mate, and the other 20 will deal with it. The only feared distraction was from the media, which toned it down a lot about a week after the draft.
