I do. I don't have my own flag, parade, agenda. I live life like one would live that doesn't want attention from the world.

So you don't publicly date women? Or talk about banging em?

What do you think is going to happen when he does these things with dudes? It's going to be a story, there are going to be a lot of rumors, etc. This is him getting out in front of it.

If people didn't have a problem with it then this wouldn't be a story. Blame those people, not him.

[stealthyburrito]

that news is faaaabulous!

[Wilfred]

It is sad that ESPN feels the need to send me a text alert saying someone is gay

[pavyracer]

He will get drafted by the 49ers.

Of course I date women, though don't need to call the press about it, have my own bar, have my parade, have my flag, etc. I respect them as people and don't want to hear about who they wanna lay pipe to.

Stories like this are odd, man. How many courageous efforts of good people are ignored for stories like this. You want equality, stop segregating yourself with labels and live the life you want to live.

[d2bets]

I think he's been projected before as a late 2nd or early 3rd rounder.

[tony_come]

We will have a gay president one day

[bruins35]

Hey stale....you gay, bro??

[Wilfred]

I see what some of you mean by announcing it looking it for attention and pushing an agenda, Jason Collins clearly did it at the end of his career hoping that he could somehow get a roster spot. I think this one is different, a guy coming out a few months before he will be drafted in the NFL. He'll have to play through everything now, and he might get a little more attention now, but there doesn't really seem to be an agenda because the kid can play.

[bruins35]

another 20 years beastailty will be pushed by the media and all the sickos will be having parades and bars for only sickos who sleep with goats

[The Giant]

If I was Michael Sam, a pass rushing expert, this is what I would say to the offensive lineman guarding me: "Listen buddy, just get out of the way and let me get to your quarterback, otherwise I'll buttfukk you after the game."

Can you imagine how many sacks he would get?

[Sam Odom]

Good for him...

At least there will be no surprises and no 'whispering campaign' during the Draft

[stealthyburrito]

don't have to be gay to support equity of human rights.

Nonetheless it's only a story because there are so many people who hate gays. If everyone treated every gay person like they do every straight person then the media attention, parades, etc. would disappear.

Although its probably a good idea they have their own bars. You know how many gay guys would get killed by drunken straight guys if they didnt have a place where they knew the guy they were hitting on was also gay?

[DrStale]

Hey stale....you gay, bro??

Nah, just into all that hippie liberal shit like equal rights and tolerance

[opie1988]

Well played.

[t-wizzle]

I find the timing of this announcement kind of interesting.

[SamDiamond]

Opie's breaking out the dictionary now-- "Tole--what?..is that when the queroes are allowed to breath the same air as me, y'all?"

*breathe

[SamDiamond]

*breathe

You forgot "y'all".

And the word "queros".

To be honest Op.

I would have figured you to ask Stale, "are you one of those fagggs?"

You used the word gay. Bonus points for you.

[Harold Baines]

This will make the draft interesting. Not even considering how people feel about the announcement, will a team want the guaranteed media circus at camp? Reportedly, teams have shied away from Tebow for the same reason. That said, that Teo guy went pretty much under the radar, so maybe this won't be a concern.

[MoneyLineDawg]

He came out to his Mizzou teammates last summer......I guess all of the NFL scouts and GMs we're starting to find out in preparation for the draft.....He just wants to put it out there before any dumb rumors or whatever else happens

Good for him, would take him on my team if he can help us win.....just like anyone else.....as an SEC fan, I can tell you than Sam was a beast

The circus aspect is the key, NFL is a business and media product more than ever now. Sucks, but its the reality. He could go to the Seahawks now and instead of talking about chances of a repeat the news will only be about this.

[iifold]

Draft stock will rise not fall...

Raiders or Jets will take him...

The two franchises "ran" by the NFL...

[CarpeDime]

WHAT THE F&*%^*K IS HAPPENING TO OUR COUNTRY??????????

if you read the article youll see that his teammates pretty much knew before he told them

-1000 that teams already knew anyway

[ttwarrior1]

sam's kind for sure

[Booya711]

Hey stale....you gay, bro??

Of course he is....and his 2 dads

[Big Bear]

Hey stale....you gay, bro??

sure sounds like it.

[Big Bear]

sam diamond is def a queer

[ebbearsfb1]

probably on a college campus with all those football players, im sure a few of them had to know before he mentioned it.


he was a senior if im not mistaken someone had to know in the 3 years before that.


end of the day good for him.

if he can help my team win next year then awesome if not.. wish him well were ever he goes.


whats comical is all the sbr gay bashers.

they will bash the shyt out of him now but you best believe if he gets a game winning sack next year or pick 6 to help a guy on here win a bet they will all be eating his rooster and singing his praises.


looks like a good fit as a 3-4 olb maybe to rush the passer year one until he learns dropping back in coverage schemes

Eight NFL executives and coaches anticipate a "significant" draft-day plunge for Missouri OLB Michael Sam after revealing that he is homosexual.

The execs and coaches believe NFL locker rooms are "not prepared to deal with an openly gay player," and decision makers fear a "publicity circus" for the team that selects Sam. "At this point in time it's still a man's man game," said one player personnel assistant. "To call somebody a [gay slur] is still so commonplace." Rotoworld draft maven Josh Norris believes Sam has fourth- to seventh-round tape. "I just know with this going on this is going to drop him down," added one veteran scout. "There's no question about it. It's human nature. Do you want to be the team to quote-unquote 'break that barrier?'"
