While I wouldn't do what Sam did, he was celebrating his moment with those he cared about. I don't really have a problem with it.

ESPN's coverage was over the top and playing it 3000x is ridiculous.


I don't care if Michael Sam is gay or straight but I don't tune into ESPN to watch social justice, I tune in for sports coverage. Seeing Sam and the guy he Rams in private putting cake on each other's faces is fricking wasting my time

Its is and was and probably will continue to be as long as Sam is in the NFL.

Thats unfortunate.

The reality is that as long as folks think things like a gay man playing in the NFL as "shocking" or "disgusting" they will continue to milk these topics for all they are worth in the name of the almighty dollar.

Little has changed, at the core, in the business of entertainment since the early days of Barnum and Bailey. Making folks one of the following: Angry,Shocked, Disgusted, is good for the bottom line.

Its very ironic when you think about it really.
