Quote:I have no idea what Michael Sam's objectives are.  It's possible he just wants to play football.  

 

Where we disagree is with regard to the media.   The media often does everything possible to set agendas.   With an issue such as this one,  I can't envision the media letting up anytime soon.   Most of the public will want to move on to something else but that won't stop the media from trying to keep this story on or as close to the front page as possible.  

 

There is only so much they can do. If he doesn't play ball, there isn't a story and lets be honest, look at the last few 'media circuses', how much do they really impact a team? This is pro football, the media already follows everything they do 24-7.

 

Assuming he just wants to play football, there simply is nothing to report.

 

'Gay football player Michael Sam made 2 tackles in a pre-season game, then refused to answer any non-football related questions.'

 

'Michael Sam left the game with an ankle sprain, no word on the homosexual stars return, perhaps he is just waiting in the showers'.

 

Its not exactly newsworthy is it?
