Sheeeesh
O/U on how many times they evoke the phrases, "in the SEC, the toughest college football conference in America," and "in the South where not only was he black but gay as well."
Owell. It is what it is. Thankfully, very few people actually watch OWN and those that do are ... are looking for stuff just like this to try to make their own lives seem normal. The cooking channel has higher Arbitron ratings.

Oprah Winfrey Network to produce Michael Sam documentary

After the Rams made history by selecting defensive end Michael Sam in the seventh round of the NFL draft last Saturday, the former Missouri star said he was confident he would make the final St. Louis roster.
Now, we'll get an extra inside look into his life as Sam tries to do so.
The Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) announced Wednesday that it would create a multi-part documentary series on Sam and "his historic journey as he prepares to enter the biggest professional sports league in America." It's an untitled project, but the network is working with Emmy-winning producer Craig Piligian and Emmy-nominated filmmaker Amy Rice.
In the news release, OWN says its cameras will follow Sam, but it's unclear how much locker room/practice field access the network will get from the NFL.
“We are honored that Michael is trusting us with his private journey in this moment that has not only made history but will shape it forever,” Winfrey said in a statement. “I am proud of the focus on authentic storytelling in our new documentary series format. The next real-life story we follow in ‘The Untitled Michael Sam Project' promises to spark valuable, important discussion on life in America today. Acceptance and illumination start here.”
Said Sam in that same statement: “Like every player out there working to make a team right now, my focus is on playing football to the very best of my ability. I am determined. And if seeing my story helps somebody else accept who they are and to go for their dreams too, that's great. I am thankful to Oprah for her support and excited to work together.”

I think the taunts will have to do with mixing Ram terms and gay terms so really probably feel bad for the MS's SO becoming the butt of all the jokes.

"I just want to be seen as a football player and not just as being gay"
Signs up for documentary about being gay.

This will not ease his transition to the NFL.

Yeah, I was defensive of him at first. But this is a bridge too far.
And if he doesn't make it (a more than likely possibility), he'll have his failure on tape.

Sam will definitely get some work in Hollywood in a couple years when his playing days are over... I could see him hosting a show on the LOGO network or maybe getting some work as a stunt man... He would be the stunt butt, obviously.

If all Michael Sam does is receive oral sex, does that really make him gay?
Posted on 5/14/14 at 5:55 pm to scrooster
I hate Michael Sam.

Is that how they justify it at TAMU?
Posted on 5/14/14 at 5:57 pm to Cheese Grits
We don't justify it at all.
Posted on 5/14/14 at 5:58 pm to Gradual_Stroke
We celebrate it.
