Cut Players

^^ I honestly haven't wondered about how he is in the shower.  Honestly.  I don't even care. 

I think about how he is in the shower, but only after a couple glasses of wine...

This whole thing got blown up by the media....how many other 7th rounders have received this much coverage. You are damned if you do and damned if you don't in this case because of the media!!!! I believe he was cut for football reasons and nothing more!!!!

Come on, who really didn't see this coming?  The minute the Rams drafted him, they were stuck with him, or would suffer the wrath of the gay community's accusatory "homophobe" comments.

There was no possible way he could be cut WITHOUT this kind of backlash happening.  Because, you know, all 7th round picks make the final 53, right?

I believe STL took one for the league on draft day.

Goodell had to realize that if the DPOY in The Best Conference In College Football™ went undrafted right after coming out, it would reflect poorly on The Shield.  So maybe some calls were made and a team that was already deep at LB, in Sam's home state, agreed to fall on the sword.

A third-string linebacker is not important enough to your team to be worth the media blitz.  You need to be a QB (like another recent example of a media darling whose play on the field did not merit the amount of attention he received) in order for it to be worth the trouble.

When a good QB comes out as gay, then we'll see a different story.

Honestly a team like the Cowboys who have a god awful defense and are a media circus anyway just because they are the Cowboys should sign him. To their practice squad at least

What backlash? This has been a pretty quiet event as far as my "world" has been able to see.

Cowboys have the worst defense in the league. If he can't make the Cowboys roster, he won't be in the NFL long.

You're obviously not a user of Twitter...

A good portion of the LGBT community feels the move was homophobic. Nevermind the fact that they drafted him in the first place.

It's all over social media.

Yea, I don't care about Twitter or other methods of social media. Mainstream media and people in "my world" haven't said two words about the entire situation.

It's funny that you lump in mainstream media with people in your world when the mainstream media couldn't be more out of touch with the real world...

[Brian Fein]

mainstream media gets 50% of its stories from Twitter...

[Phishfan]

^^^ But apparently not this one since it is a big story on Twitter but not one anywhere else.

Yes and following Twitter really helps me to understand how the Kardashians fit into the real word.
