Quote:They probably wouldn't.  But again -- if they were given that opportunity, do you really think they'd turn it down?  

 

I wonder if it would bother people if another 7th round rookie decided to do a reality show/documentary because he was the first blind NFL player.

 

There's no way to sensationalize that for the Oprah.

 

Part of this whole issue is that saying "what if it was a blind guy, or a homeless guy, or someone else with a compelling story?" is irrelevant. This is the queen of political correctness pouncing on a story that is a hot button issue in society today and taking advantage of that to profit.  She's the Oprah.  It's what she does.  Blind, one legged, or homeless aren't sexy enough for ratings.  Gay is. 

 

Maybe Sam is being used?  That's something I referenced in the other thread.  If that's the case, once the novelty wears off, watch how quickly the cause celeb gets tossed on the trash heap.
