I am only angry about Hamas' asinine attempt to twist my respect for Michael into some pseudo-psychological sublimation of shaming him and twisting my pointing out that you guys are treating him like a mascot into my viewing him as an actual mascot.

Let's play a game. You're the producer of ESPN and you want to retain as many viewers as possible in round 7 of the NFL draft. What is the most compelling topic to discuss after 8 hours of draft coverage? Not compelling to you personally, but compelling to the masses.

Name your top 3 stories.

I think you're right. Sam is a pawn.

Let's play another, do you think this coverage was productive to Michael's wishes to be treated as just another player?

Seriously. If you want to keep talking about Michael Sam the Rams boards are always open.

I guess so. Why? You get all angry and shit when a player kisses his girlfriend?

That's kinda the point I was alluding to. The media isn't really beating this story to death because of the reason it's a story. The media is beating the story to death because it's a story.

Yeah the fact they are beating this into the ground is annoying. That still doesn't change the fact that what Michael Sam is doing is actually a pretty significant thing.

If people just simply said, "**** ESPN" than well I'd agree. But lets not sit here and pretend a thing is not a thing when it is in fact something.

Next person to post is Michael Sam's lover.

Oh, I believe you're that stupid.

Ok?

Do you think showing a gay bar's reaction to Sam being drafted was needed for coverage of him being picked?

How did that cake taste loser... http://www.kanyetothe.com/forum/Smil...ault/vkN78.png

No. I don't.

But the media doesn't give a shit about Michael Sam. Frankly, neither do I beyond interest in the social impact of the first openly gay player in the nfl. If Sam didn't want to be the mascot, he could have kept his mouth shut. But the first guy was gonna be the mascot, regardless of what he wanted.

I like you. :thumb:
