No doubt about it.
Honestly bro, who gives a ####? Don't ask, don't tell. It's about the play on the field.
In both cases, Sam and Shannon Faulkner both left because they were not qualified to be there. Despite pounding down the door, claiming discrimination or whatever, when the chance arrived for them to prove they belonged, they failed. Faulkner was gone in 5 days from the Citadel, which she claims was due to death threats (which she never told anybody about, BTW).
Well, of course Sam doesn't have as much intestinal fortitude as Jackie Robinson. He has a penis blocking the tail end of his intestines.
Nice job of revisionism here. Go back through this thread, and you'll see that most of the whining came from people predicting he'd be drafted far too high.
Like this prediction, for instance.
He obviously wasn't a 3rd-4th round talent. His combine numbers sucked. Pass rushers are always in high demand, so if there was anything there he would've gone much earlier.
People here don't understand what the word "if" means. Sam's combine numbers dropped him from a 3-4th round projection, to a guy on the bubble. I really don't think you can reasonably make a case that Sam's gayness hurt his draft position. If anything it helped or was neutral.
How many years until that happens?timschochet said:

OMG, so brave.
I was rooting for the guy until he started making a total mockery of the process. Once the silly cake smashing happened after he was drafted, I knew he was in trouble.
If he went out there and busted his ### and made the Rams roster, I'd be happy for the guy. Instead he was a publicity hound and apparently forgot the values and work ethic that made him excel in college. And washing out the way he did in the CFL I think warrants some derision. He now looks like a bit of a fraud and a joke.
Absolutely. 95% of America (including those against homosexuality) wouldn't have given two rips if he had put in the work to make himself a football player. Once it became LOOK AT ME I'M GAY!!! then he ends up getting hoisted upon his own petard.
The reaction has less to do with Sam himself and more to do with shoving it back in the faces of the people who know little about football yet insisted on calling those who disagreed with them about Sam's pro potential bigots.I wish Sam the best of luck in life and future endeavors.
.195/.264/.305 in A ball? As a 1B/OF? This guy sucks.Tim can hang on to this while he's licking his wounds: Brewers minor leaguer David Denson comes out.

Maybe guys like Romo have to stay in the closet to play at a competitive level?
Meaning you wish I had considered suicide, or, even better, actually done so? That's a very witty comeback on your part.
That or so you would once in your life have a damned clue as to what you're talking about before babbling on. If Lebron James, Mike Trout, and Peyton Manning all came out as gay, life as a gay teenager would still be brutal in many parts of the country. Backing gay athletes simply because they're gay is silly. You've made a fool of yourself in this thread and claimed all these reasons he were being denied an opportunity was because he's gay. Turns out he's just lousy. If he were pretty good at the combines I'm pretty sure teams would have drafted him higher. Regardless of his orientation.
Suicide isn't something to really joke about. I have zero issue owning it when I make tasteless jokes.
That wasn't my intent here. Growing up as a gay teen is a really difficult thing, and for reasons that go way, way beyond us simply needing a couple superstar athletes. Unless you've been a gay teen or spent some time with them, get bent of you're going to pretend how to fix their issues.
Yet you joked about it, Hitler.
Yep. He was an All-America, First team All SEC, and SEC Defensive player of the year. He earned that. Now he can't even hang in the CFL? That's on him. It has nothing to do with anyone else and how they feel about his sexuality.
Burrito eating contests imo
Im sure he wanted everyone to know about it too.
