Michael Sam Done Done

Michael Sam bombed at the NFL Veteran’s Combine. This second go-round was probably his last chance to ever make a team which was half of the bargain when he decided to be the first openly gay or straight American athlete to ever insist his sexuality be a part of his conversation. Scouts, agents, General Managers and the homeless dude with a lanyard there for the free Gatorade had various negative comments:

“My real honest opinion is that he was flat out horrible. He did not belong out there… He thinks he’s a superstar. It would be nice if he could do something on the field to back up the attitude…The concern was that he didn’t look focused on the game. He regressed.” 

Let this be a lesson. Do your job first. If you want to butt fuck your boyfriend in the Mall of America while Oprah shouts encouragement, do it after you’re named Defensive Rookie of the Year or you win a Super Bowl. Ninety percent of the people who would’ve cared will no longer care. Securing reality TV deals before your first game means you care more about being gay than playing football, which again was half of the deal. Now you’re just another annoying dude from Dancing with the Stars. Take a seat next to Rumer Willis who probably knows better than to arm tackle during scouting sessions.
