Quote:While perhaps he does have some courage, the NFLN, ESPN and other media outlets aren't the place to show it.  He gets media time NOT because of his play on the field, but BECAUSE he is gay.  If you want to talk about gay issues, watch the Oprah network or something similar.  NFLN and ESPN are not the place for it.  People that watch NFLN and ESPN tune in because they want to hear about sports, not social issues.

 

This guy actually had a press conference after signing with the Cowboys.  When in the history of the NFL has a player signed to a practice squad ever had the need to hold a press conference?  This guy is pretty much nothing when it comes to NFL news and should go away faster than Tebow.

 

We can sit here and speculate as to why he was signed to the Cowboy's practice squad, and if I were to give my opinion, it has nothing to do with his skill as an NFL player.

 

No, the place for the coverage of it is on NFL network and ESPN, where a young gay man interested in football will actually see the coverage. Your statement really gets to the crux of the issue, your idea that not only should gay people be made to feel unaccepted, but that the media should insulate you from things you feel uncomfortable with.
