It's so ****ing gutless to lie about vague ulterior motives when you can't discuss things on the merits. And the Atwaterian appellation is weak a sauce as any on BEPs's or Sportshrink's bullshit.

There are these things we use called words, and not only do they have denotations, but connotations as well.
When you claim that people who are applauding Sam for coming out are turning him into a mascot, that is the very type of bastardization of his stance that you claim others are making.
When you infer that Goodell is setting a dangerous standard by issuing a completely banal statement like "I wish him luck and I hope he succeeds," you're either being a dumbass or you, again, are trying to discredit him by raising the possibility that he'll receive preferential treatment.
We haven't even established that Michael Sam is going to get a fair chance yet; we've only seen that he won't be completely excluded, yet you're taking the first hill to bitch about the implications of Goodell's meaningless utterance, just like you bitched about people supporting Sam, as though one can't support him and his choice without ulterior political motive.
In essence, you're bitching about him being co-opted while taking every opportunity to ensure that any success he has will be problematized. If he makes the team, then the whispers of favoritism begin. If he gets drafted, it's possibly because the commissioner exerted force on his bosses (a special JFC :facepalm: for that one).
For someone who wants him to succeed, you sure have no problem taking an adversarial position to any advance he makes.
