Why? The guy EXPRESSLY said he wanted to be seen as Michael Sam, NFL player, period.
Why the need to instead make him your culture war mascot? I respect his wishes and wish him well.

Why is it important? Michael Sam doesn't think so, and doesn't want you to think so. Michael Sam football player got drafted in the 7th round. That's the story.

Or you could shove a barb wired covered eel up your ass.
If Michael Sam says anything different, he'd be attacked. |

No, I'd rather have you idiots just shut the **** up. I've not said a bad word about Sam beyond discussing his skill set, which is likely not at NFL level, yet I've been attacked by multiple dipshits in this thread.

I'm respecting the man as a man, and you guys want to insist he's a pet in the culture wars. Let people live their lives by their own dictates.

Some things are bigger than an individual, but an individual becomes an avatar for the event. This is one of those times. People worrying about Sam kissing his significant other or smushing cake in his face is precisely why it matters. Viewing it as noteworthy is why it needs to be seen and why it is important to discuss.

If that's the only reason why they did it. Do you think that's why it happened?
