NFL draft prospect Michael Sam comes out as gay--UPDATE: signed by Dallas?

[MurrayBannerman]

He cried more than anyone I've ever seen. Jesus.

Good for Sam. I hope he's motivated to kick ass in the league.

As to that kiss. . . well, I bet you a lot of peoples' heads exploded when they saw a same sex interracial couple making out - one of them a football player.

A lot of sports forums are dens for FAR right social stuff ("Obummer" and "Odumbo" talk), at least in my experience, and I can only imagine the reactions to this on the ESPN boards when they got really, really bad after Obama's election in 2009 and 2010 and before ESPN shut them down. Some of those idiots probably blew a few blood vessels.

It was a little uncomfortable with how much they kissed, regardless of orientation. They milked that shot more than any other one I've seen in all my years watching the NFL draft.

He should have spent more time in the gym- Slow and pretty weak for an NFL aspirant.

He's not going to be very good. I mean he got out performed at the combine by some punters and kickers.

This is good but I have heard a rumor: this is all staged. I have heard that Michael Sam isn't really gay and this is all a trick played by him to get into the leagues. Now, I don't personally believe this, but this is a troubling rumor that Michael Sam and the NFL need to put to bed somehow.
