August 17, 201511 yr See... I never said that I was above juvenile humor. You should see the silly faces I can make behind the teacher's back for a laugh.
August 17, 201511 yr IMO, this guy isn't the right guy to be the first. Jackie Robinson never quit baseball, did he? He was tough. Sam isn't tough enough or good enough to play professional football. All the other nonsense should set him up for some crappy reality show.
August 17, 201511 yr On a serious note, did he graduate with a degree? I would assume he would have to get a real job at some point when all the interview/grandstand money runs out.

August 17, 201511 yr His husband is in the MOB, he dont have to work. I just gave them your address in case of a nuclear fallout.
August 17, 201511 yr It's no different than the jokes we all poke at Bill Cosby or anyone where there's some sophmoric sexual innuendo teed up. Hell, BigVMan and lawildcat thrive on such posts. I see I'm on your radar today. Bash away, my friend. When Michael Sam is found out to be a serial rapist, then I'll compare him to Bill Cosby. Until then, I'm not going to make fun of a man simply because he likes men instead of women. But then again, women are way less homophobic than men seem to be, IMO. What is it about a gay man that makes straight men so uncomfortable?
August 17, 201511 yr Sexual humor is your forte' so forgive if I find it laughable that you poo poo what brand is appropriate or not for this board. And if you read my posts, I never had a single bash on his sexuality. Not one, but that wouldn't suit your narrative would it?

And if you read my posts, I never had a single bash on his sexuality. Not one, but that wouldn't suit your narrative would it? I never singled you out with my post. Just a general observation directed more so at the posters who are actually bashing Mr. Sam solely based on his sexuality rather than his poor football skills. I'm sure you feel the same way as I do when I say I don't give a rat's behind how you feel about my posts or my feelings on what is or is not appropriate. We aren't going to change each other's opinion on the matter, that's for sure.

I can't speak for others but I know my posts were just attempts at humor. I have nothing against him at all for being gay. That's not my deal but I certainly have nothing against him for it.

Everyone has different levels of humor and what they find acceptable. That's why the ignore button is such a great tool on BGP. Thankfully, I've only had to use it one time so far. For those that I offend, feel free to do the same with me.

I honestly didn't even know there was an ignore button on BGP.
August 17, 201511 yr That's the thing...nothing offends me. I honestly didn't even know there was an ignore button on BGP. And I'm not sure that any of the jokes were offensive....just typical stuff everyone has heard before. My only reason for chiming in was to point out, that while everyone cried and rallied for Sam to be treated like any other football player, ultimately, the only thing that people ended up talking about when he finally disappeared, was the fact that he was gay. And if in the end, that's all we end up talking about, stories like his will continue to be news. If we don't want gay players to be in the news or get special treatment, then we need to stop pointing out and making fun of the fact that they are gay.
August 17, 201511 yr I think NFL teams passed on him, not because of sexuality or ability, but more of what was between his ears. Is his mentally tough enough to play in the NFL or CFL with all of the outside distractions? Obviously not. Does it make him a bad person? No. It just makes him soft
