So did Michael Sam choose #96 because it is so close to #69 and he is trying to brainwash us all into being gay? I'm offended that he can choose a number that forces us to make a comparison to a repulsive act, particularly when committed by two men. SMH
I don't, just think it's funny people are buying his jersey bc his sexual preference and not his playing abilitly.
People buy jerseys for all sorts of reasons - I'm pretty sure lots of crappy players have jerseys. Does it really make any more sense to wear a jersey with some other dude's name on it because they are good at football?
Technically, of course it does. Culturally, historically, realistically, of course it doesn't. Interesting story nonetheless.
So, was "the kiss" scripted? http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/10932826/oprah-winfrey-network-acquires-rights-michael-sam-series "Cameras for the network were with Sam when he received the call that he was drafted and will follow him through training camp as he tries to make the team...."

In the 80's it was a gay man's disease. I wouldn't really compare people fighting and dying for civil rights with gays, particularly in the 80's, dying of AIDS from unprotected, promiscuous sex. Geeeez.
How? He is most likely not going to make the team, so why not take Oprahs money while he is still relevant? He is making the most of this opportunity!
Eh. If you look white, are of majority white decent, than you are white. If you subscribe to the theory that we all originated from common African ancestors, we are all black.
This. Sam duped every NFL team and the one that took a chance on him all so that he could show everyone one "how he would be a great NFL player..." #BeWell...
