In my original response to yours I took issue with your claim that no one had a problem with ESPN's coverage of Manziel/ the partying/ et al. 

 

I know lots of people who were sick of that and took issue with it.

 

You then come out of nowhere and ask for proof that people were saying to cut Manziel over it, Thats a totally different claim and not one that I ever said happened. You're being Li- err, disingenuous again. 

 

The media circus around Manziel is much larger than anything around Michael Sam in spite of Sam being the much more noteworthy player. There are people IN THIS THREAD claiming that Sam's "media circus" is why he's not worth having on an NFL team. However, Manziel's "media circus" is larger and has gone mostly noted only in passing.

 

So either I'm right, and this is really about bigotry over Sam's sexuality, or there are posts with people saying teams shouldn't have a guy like Manziel because of the "media circus". You claimed that there are people making those kinds of assertions about Manziel, so go ahead and link some of them.
