All you have to do is say, yeah, I donate to PP which perform abortions and I'll be happy. What the fuck else is there to discuss?

I Wear Pants;1616542 wrote:Because he'll be the first gay dude in the NFL that doesn't feel like he has to hide his sexuality. People like him, Robbie Rogers, Collins, other athletes, and high profile people like Anderson Cooper (shocker) making it known that they're gay helps kids who are struggling with their identities or live in bad environments. If none of them were out and a kid was in a living situation that wasn't exactly friendly towards their sexuality it'd be easy to think that their parents or whoever are right and that being gay is bad and no one can "make it" if they're gay.

Hell you yourself brag on here about all the girls you supposedly sleep with but if a gay person did the same you'd be all "we get it you're gay no one cares".

I Wear Pants;1616550 wrote:Yeah but Sam doesn't run the news networks so I'm not sure what he's supposed to do about it. That's more of a "ESPN fucking sucks" complaint than anything specific to gay issues.

sleeper;1616558 wrote:He could come out and say the media attention is unwarranted and that he is a normal person with a different sexual preference than a majority of players.

However, since he's not making the league, the only way for him to make money(which is the entire purpose of the gay agenda) is to get book deals and documentary deals. He is using 'the cause' for its intended purpose.

Of course he wanted all of this attention and some show on the Okrah channel.
They wont be happy until everyone isnt just tolerant, but ACCEPTING and promoting that perverse lifestyle.

I Wear Pants;1616575 wrote:I mean he'd be stupid not to take advantage of the spotlight he's been given. He'll likely be doing a fair amount of charity work/advocacy as well which is important since he's one of the few prominent gay people I can think of that are black.

Also: “I wish you guys would see me as Michael Sam the football player,” Sam said during Saturday's presser at Lucas Oil Stadium. “Instead of Michael Sam the gay football player.”

sleeper;1616578 wrote:And while at the same time he has a book coming out and a documentary because he is a gay football player. Actually he'll just be a gay man once he's out of the league in 2 months.

I Wear Pants;1616586 wrote:Seriously though why would he say no to either of those? It's a platform to discuss things you care about and I'm sure they'll pay him pretty well too. Anyone else in the draft would accept those things if they were offered to them. I guess I don't see what's so offensive about it. I'm definitely not going to watch the show or read the book but I'm confused what the issue is.

If I was on TV for some reason (not gonna happen, I'm not that interesting) and told a story about something my boyfriend and I did I'd probably get the same complaints.

If you don't want people to see you as a racist, don't announce it to the world that you are a racist. Why does it matter if you are gay or not? You did just fine at missouri not letting the world know. In fact, if you wanted to come out you shouldve done it at missouri.
