Quote:The imaginary media circus, the predicted but absent activist outcry, the posts decrying the immense distraction of being asked about showering. Apparently I'm just much better at connect the dots than you, or maybe it's hard to see all the dots when you happen to be one of them.

 

As you say this, Michael Sam is on NFLN for the upteenth time today.

 

I have no problem with Michael Sam.  I hope he succeeds and has a long NFL career.  The attention the NFLN and ESPN have showed him is a bit frustrating.  He's a 7th round practice squad player that gets more attention than every player drafted outside of Johnny Manziel and I'd say he's gotten more attention than him.

 

I wish the networks would leave the kid alone and let him play football. I firmly believe places like ESPN and NFLN and their coverage of Michael Sam's sexuality have hurt him and his playing career.

 

You can call me and others a bigot all you want but that won't make it true.
