Quote: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.

 

It's a hot button issue, but the first blind player in the NFL would be a story that's easy to sell.  It'd be inspirational, which is exactly what Oprah is going for with the Michael Sam story.  

 

I just don't see why anybody that's not a Ram's fan cares.  It doesn't really affect any of us.  If it affects the Rams, then yay for that, because the Mullet is their head coach.
