I say the potential naysayers let his playing ability speak for itself.
Lets ask the guy who's locker is next to his.
Yea because all gay people want to jump the bones of every person they see. I hear they are like rabbits and if not controlled they would mate with everyone.

you should spend more time reading and understanding the thread, and less time googling gifs.
Actually, he makes a very valid point, you said let's ask the guy who's locker is next to his. That based of the homophonic fear the gay men won't to screw you no matter what you look like or if you are gay or not. Which is simply untrue.
I don't even know what that means . . . but you didn't read the thread, either.

RE: OT: Missouri's Michael Sam comes out as gay
On topic: good for him. Hard thing to do.
Off topic: if you're touting being gay as amoral or sinful, I think you're lame. Don't add me on facebook and don't say it to my face. I'll think less of you.
That's about all I have to say on this.

Exactly. God made such a beautiful, welcoming, place for us to let ourselves go in for the sake of procreation, yet some want to pass that up for a hairy, smelly, excrement-filled hole? Yuck! Two hairy dudes sweating all over each other, kissing each other's mustaches, smelling each other's man breathe? LOL No Thanks!!!

You better duck. You're not allowed to think like that in America 2.0
The Liberal crowd "thinks" you aren't allowed to think like that in America 2.0. I have news for them....I'll think what I want to think and a huge majority feel the same way.
No, you can if you choice to, but that doesn't give you the right to force your views on other or infringe on their rights or limit their rights purely based of your moral/religious beliefs.
So the media and half the country bags on Tebow because he's a Christian, but when a gay guy comes out of the closet we all have STFU. Right?

you read nothing, or understood nothing. nothing I wrote, at any rate. you wanted so badly to genuflect at the alter of outrage and screechingly prove your profound enlightenment that you exclamated prematurely. I'm sure you will now think about dragging posts out of context. don't. you will just make it worse for yourself.
you are a perfect example of the ridiculous atmosphere that surrounds this sort of thing. you are the talking, typing epitome of why this discussion instantly careens off into the weeds.

I was thinking the same thing, if a woman is reasonably attractive most guys think (wonder what she looks like naked and/or is she a wild thing in bed) I don't see gays thinking any different about guys, plus they do get to see what every guy on the team looks like naked so they don't have to wonder.

RE: OT: Missouri's Michael Sam comes out as gay
What makes me the most angry about this story are those who say he showed lots of courage to make this decision. HELL NO!!!! A soldier in battle shows courage, a fireman that rescues someone from a burning building shows courage, a cop who faces down an armed suspect shows courage, coming out of the closet is hardly the stuff heroes are made of, more like ZERO'S.

I have spoken with a few NFL players in the past and this was brought up. I wondered that myself. Their thinking is the team is investing a lot of $$$$ in a player and they want to see more players get MARRIED and put down roots, be more responsible, have kids. They know guys will stay single for a while but most do in fact want their players married for the stability factor.

There are different types of courage. He's not putting his life in danger by coming out, but it still requires a great deal of courage to be the first to cross this barrier. Hell, I'm sure it requires a great deal of courage to even come out to your own family.

I've never, ever heard anybody in the media bag on Tebow because he's a Christian. Hell, I'm agnostic and I love the guy.
The self-proclaimed persecution of American Christians is ridiculous. Gays (and every other type of minority) get infinitely more amount of s*** in this country.

And pretty much every married NFL player will still liberally cheat on his wife. A gay player may or may not be able to get legally married depending on the location of the team he's drafted to, but he can just as easily be in a monogamous relationship and adopt kids.

Yeah, this is biggest load of garbage I've ever read.
You're trying to tell me that unless you are saving lives or putting yourself in front of bullets, you aren't showing courage? So, that means that maybe 1 percent of the world's population shows courage.
You see courage in everyday life from everyday people. "Every day, ordinary people do extraordinary things."-Bob Richards
Maybe it isn't "heroic," but yeah...standing up for what you believe in and telling people who you are at the risk of being ostracized in public and in your future locker room is courageous.

Except that you're going to face far more praise than ostracism, sure, it takes butt loads of courage.

I look up to guys like Phillip Rivers, a strong Catholic with 8 children that works for and contributes vast sums of time and money to charities and is presumably faithful to his wife and family. He is the kind of man that the media, the president, and the first lady ought to be celebrating.
