so, let's make sure we've got this straight:
there are no current male american athletes on active team rosters who are openly gay. the reason is that gay guys receive a lot of hate speech and undue criticism. michael sam comes out as gay, knowing that he's going to receive a lot of hate speech and criticism. but you're saying that he chose to make himself the target of people like you in order to market himself better, even though he was going to get an nfl contract no matter what? is that really what you're saying?

I don't know of any. Do you?

Please reorganize this sentence.

I'm note sure what you mean by receiving hate speech. I'm sure he'll be criticized. I'm also sure he understood that it would happen.

Is theorizing the timing and purpose of his outing really targeting him? Good gracious if so. He'll really need to toughen up. He'll get a contract as a low draft pic I think.
I'm not saying any of that drivel you wrote. I actually applauded him for great marketing and support people.
I never said he's going to hell, never said he's a scum for liking men, never said he was evil, never said anything about AIDS. I only said that this could be one of the best marketing plans ever.
Why do gay activists get so upset?
