Sam won't be around forever, and I suspect he'll never get the amount of respect around the league that his abilities merit due to bigotry, but it was in the NFL's interests to see if any team would even attempt to give him a fair chance in the NFL.

 

Are you suggesting the Rams organization released Sam because they're bigoted? If so, heads need to roll.

 

I'm too lazy to check, but I wonder how many rookies were released by the team that drafted them due to their abilities (or lack thereof)? Sam got a fair chance with the Rams, and his lack of ability prevented him from not only making the final roster, but their practice squad as well.

 

Fortunately for him he's gay, the league lobbied on his behalf, and now he's a Cowboy.  Too bad for all of the other released rookies, though.  I truly hope he makes the most of the opportunity. If at some point his abilities and stats merit it, he'll earn the respect he deserves, I suspect.
