    Michael Sam has been receiving a lot of support from the sporting world, and now the White House has weighed in.













    Missouri defensive lineman and NFL hopeful Michael Sam has been receiving an outpouring of supportive messages from the sporting world since coming out Sunday as an "openly, proud gay man."
    But its not just athletes and sporting figures who are weighing in. Early Monday morning, Sam got an encouraging tweet from the White House, courtesy of first lady Michelle Obama:

    For some reason, I don't think this helped his chances of getting drafted by an NFL team. Should have stayed in the "CLOSET" at least until after the draft. Hey, the Obama's are proud of you and Obamacare will take care of you after all the NFL teams pass on you. What a dumb ass!!!! What team is Jason Collins playing on?

      Or maybe thought he didn't have a chance to go pro and is using his gayness to get in out of sympathy.
      NFL's roster is made out of competition. If he doesn't perform, he could always pull the gay card.

        He did a risk/reward on this I think.

        A) Do I keep working to get drafted late fourth round and most likely not play much to earn the larger contracts, constant training and so forth?

        B) Do I come out now, receive endorsements from a few gay friendly companies and go on a speaking tour and make my millions that way as well as cementing a perpetual revenue stream as being the first openly gay recognizable figure in football?

        B!

            Would Michelle Obama had said anything at all if it was a white player that came out?

              Soon after the news broke, the experts had him as a 4th rounder. To me he seems a little undersized at 6'2" 255 for a DE. Can he play linebacker?

                    When he farts, does it make a whoosh sound? After sex, does his ass dribble? Could be worse, he could've been
                    a Qb or a center.

                          I onder if she is proud of Shaneka Monique Torres, the girl who shot through a McDonalds drive thru window because she did not get her bacon on her burger. That is standing up for your rights!!! They discriminated against you because you are a bleach blond black lady.

                              She was never proud of her country until her husband was elected, but she's proud of what a man does with his dick?

                                  Why are all these supposedly gay hating right wingers so obsessed with the physical mechanics of gay sex?

                                  Makes you wonder...

                                    If president Obama had three sons they would be Trayvon Martin, Jason Collins and Michael Sams.

                                        New Poll Finds Most NFL Players Still Not Ready To Date Gay Teammate

                                        Sports News in BriefSportsNFL Football ISSUE 50•06 • Feb 13, 2014


                                        NEW YORK—Providing further evidence of the hesitancy in professional sports to accept homosexual athletes as equals, a new poll published Thursday revealed that more than 97 percent of NFL players are still not ready to date a gay teammate. “Throughout the league there’s a lot of archaic attitudes toward homosexuality, and I’m just not sure NFL players are comfortable enough to enter a monogamous relationship with a gay teammate,” said an anonymous player who felt that a steady dating situation with a homosexual teammate wouldn’t be worth the distractions in the locker room. “I think most players would be open to a one-night stand with a gay teammate, but I really can’t see them tolerating a long-term homosexual relationship.” The poll also revealed that 50 percent of active players would prefer not to know the sexual orientation of a teammate they were penetrating.

                                          I'm not a gay hater. This is a non story, and the First Lady is propping it up as something gigantic. He's gay! Wow! That doesn't make him any more special than the other players in the NFL.

                                                  Obama: "I wouldn't let my son play football" But applauds the gay guy for wanting to play.

                                                  Isn't that a form of gay bashing? He could get a concussion, you know.
