GOP loss: NFL drafts openly gay player, who kisses his partner on ESPN; Public is ok

[Wildman]

this does not surprise me, I always thought it was a very homo-erotic sport.

These guys cannot keep from their hands off if each other's butts. Always smaking one another.

Rabbi's post below is an early indicator of the future of mainstream conservatism; they will eventually pretend they never had a problem with gay rights in the first place.

Conservatism always loses in long run, because conservatism is anti-progress, and progress is evolution, and evolution is unstoppable.

There is nothing here about gay rights, dipshit. The GOP never took a position on any of it. Therefore they could not "lose" anything.
Pro football won't gain much by featuring perverts on its teams. Who wants to watch crap like that?

True, the GOP never took any kind of official position on it, but a GOP lobbyist tried to get a bill sponsored that would ban gay players from the NFL.

The NFL isn't "featuring perverts", they're featuring football players...some of whom happen to be gay.

"A GOP lobbyist" so in the liberal "mind", all conservatives took a loss on draft day. Using that logic I can call all liberals ignorant because the liberal OP has problems with logic and reason.

Seems to me there should be a Tight End or Wide Receiver joke here somewhere.

Why wouldn't the public be okay? His choice of sexual partners doesn't at all effect his ability to play football.

Maybe if you didn't stereotype so much, you'd realize your viewpoint isn't an accurate depiction of what's going on in the nation.

His choice of sexual partners doesn't at all effect his ability to play football. His choice of sexual partners affects the team's decision to hire a substandard player because of his sexual partners.

As it was, he almost missed being chosen completely. Sports is supposed to be a meritocracy, nothing matters except ability to play. In this case, there is a built in excuse for failure.

The guy will end up being a target on the field. Lots of testosterone on a NFL team, he better play smart and keep his mouth shut. How long before he plays the fag card? If he gets cut, this is all we will hear about, not if he was good enough to play for the NFL, but that the faggot got cut because of homophobia.

have you read 1984? how about Atlas Shrugged? Orwell and Rand predicted the lunacy we are seeing today.

I have read all of these, but you are changing the subject.

you brought up reading, not me

It went straight over your head.

Also, what GOP Member was trying to ban this guy from football?

 

[blackhawk]

I recall no one in the GOP commenting on Sam or his NFL draft position seems like someone is trying to make a big deal out of something that never was one. What I do find a bit amusing is so many making a big deal out of someone who was drafted in the 7th round generally speaking players drafted that low don't become Hall of famers or even impact players.

 

[PredFan]

So the NFL just drafted its first openly gay player.

I heard he's a Wide Receiver for the Rams.

 

[Papageorgio]

The GOP lost yet another small battle today.

The National Football League....the beacon of macho manliness in America, had it's collegiate player draft today.

And former University of Missouri defensive end Michael Sam, SEC defensive player of the year, was drafted in the 7th round by the St Louis Rams. He is considered a "tweener", too slow to play LB, too small for DE, but very talented, so he's getting his shot.

ESPN showed him at his home with his partner, a white man. So, basically, a gay interracial couple, kissing on national TV on ESPN, after Sam was drafted into the manliest of sports, the NFL.

And what happened? Nothing. The public is fine with it. His future St Louis teammates welcomed him and basically said lets get to work and win some ball games. ESPN analysts spoke of the significance of the moment...and them spoke of how Sam will fit in with the Ram's scheme and their incredibly talented defense.

The public is just fine with it. So are his teammates.

Only the GOP seems to have a problem with gay people. And society will remember it.

Seems that you are the one with the issue. The GOP has said nothing, the only threads about it are from the left, they seem to have issues with it. What is your issue with this that you need it posted again?

I'm glad that this is out front and center. And we are talking about it. Now in sports. I'm as conservative as I can be but when I did the music business I dealt with the best and a huge gay family in Toronto rocks music scene.

The difference I guess is idiots like the Perez Hilton's of the world who want to out others. I think that wrong.

So I'm not getting all of this.

Constructing a strawman argument is pretty much the laziest way to lose a debate.

(btw...why are there no straw women arguments???)

Same thing happened when there was one black player on the field

So you are drafting a new straw man onto your straw team?

[TemplarKormac]

Hah! As if we place stock in what the NFL does. It won't mean much if he can't hack it in the NFL.

 

[TemplarKormac]

My what a serious asshole you are bucs90 to actually have the balls to put up such a thread.

I love it when "liberals" make such blanket assumptions. You showed true colors here bucs90.

Bigot. You are a bigot.

LOL. I think they're still trying to run away from Obamacare or Benghazi. It isn't as if we didn't want him to be drafted though. I hope he does well, but if he doesn't, the joke's on the guy who made this thread.
