    Nothing wrong with him being openly gay. However I always said he used his sexuality thinking it would somehow help him. I never understood the reason behind screaming I'm gay to the world. I don't go around screaming I'm heterosexual. People shouldn't have to respect you just because you're gay. They should respect you simply because you're human, and deserve respect.

    I honestly believe that he isn't in the NFL because he didn't make the transition to the pros well. Some players are great in college and lousy in the NFL. I don't think being gay had anything to do with it at all. If you aren't good enough or there isn't enough space on a roster for you, you'll be cut. NFL coaches don't have time to look into personal lives, they have to do what is best for their football teams.

    @SamPendleton 9 ปีที่แล้ว +135

    What really drives me insane about this is the implied assumptions Sam has made about others. He wants us to give HIM the benefit of the doubt, that he's in this to be judged on talent and not sexuality, but he refuses to give anyone ELSE the benefit of the doubt that they're judging him on talent and not sexuality. He doesn't get to be the only good guy just because it fits his narrative.
    Every college football player who goes out for the NFL and doesn't make it thinks the teams chose wrong. Those guys ALL think they're good enough; some of them are wrong.

    • @matthewxcountry
      @matthewxcountry 9 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      What? He believes he is not on a team because of the media, not because he is gay. He said the exact opposite of what you claim! This is the full quote "Despite what headlines you may read, I’ve never said and have never believed that I am being kept out of the league. I know I have talent to play in the NFL and I look forward to getting an opportunity once again to prove that I can help a team win."

    • @matthewxcountry
      @matthewxcountry 9 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      The title of the video is false! In the interview he says he isn't in the NFL for reasons other than football because he thinks he can play (many straight players say something similar when they get cut). Michael Sam doesn't mention anything about being gay (only the interviewers do). He pretty much deflects questions about being gay 99% of the time. The media can't stop bringing it up. Please provide an example after his announcement and kiss where he has brought it up.

      Dude was SEC defensive player of the year. Get real man. He had enough talent to stick around the NFL for at least 5-6 years even if he was a bust. Of course he’s not on a team bc he’s gay. But here’s the thing….. I’m not backing him up. He did it all to himself. Parading on TV and kissing his bf on ESPN. He made a spectacle of himself and it came back to bite him in the ass. If he was smart he would have waited a few years but he couldn’t do that. He wanted all the cameras on him and he got what he asked for. Now he’s vanished fron the league basically. I guarantee 100% he regrets doing what he did. Took away the game he loved.

  • @42tribes
    @42tribes 9 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    It is because he is gay. As a Titan fan I have watched the team's defensive line approach quarterbacks with as much desire as Michael Sam has for their cheerleaders. SEC defensive player of the year, two sacks in the preseason. Yeah he should probably be in the league. If the Titans are more distracted by a gay dude who might take a gander at their ass than having a sore ass from getting it kicked weekly they deserve to lose.

    Well you got what you wanted and you didn't cut it.
    If you could have helped the team win(therefore make the team money which is all they really care about) then you would have won the job over another human being that had givin his all for the same job. You got beat out, now you are bitter and bringing up your sexual nature as a victim excuse.
    Course I can hardly blame you, our media(and govt) have made victim status very enticing.

    • @matthewxcountry
      @matthewxcountry 9 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Top 10 in the NFL preseason in sacks and tackles. Yeah he clearly couldn't cut it. Pretty much every NFL analyst agrees; he'd be a backup on a 53 man roster or on a practice squad if it weren't for all this silly media attention.

    • @midas12354783
      @midas12354783 9 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      matthewxcountry
      I don't see that as indicative, as stats like that are always skewed(especially preseason)
      Remember LInSanity. He started better then Jordan and all the greats.
      And I don't see pretty much every NFL analyst agreeing. Now earlier in the preseason they were Politically Correct and said so(and had no real reason to think otherwise) But the teams that hired and coached him didn't think so.
      But I'm sure the media attention did have a impact, but it was him trying to get Oprah to film his preseason that made it a distraction for his team mates and would of had them say "Man,. Fuck this guy, Aint worth his shit" and not in the way he would have liked.

    • @matthewxcountry
      @matthewxcountry 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      ***** No one is saying Sam is NFL starter good, we are saying he would be on a practice squad if it weren't for the media. 100% of players with his stats are on 53 man rosters or practice squad. (every single one) Like the combine, the preseason says very little, but the fact is, if you do well in the preseason you are *given a chance* to succeed or suck on an actual team. And I think you meant Oprah tried to get Sam to be on the show. Sam never contacted Oprah, that is a fact.

Plus he was very productive for the Rams in that rookie preseason. Didn't he have like 2-4 sacks? It's all on him for not realizing it wasn't the time, but IS a talented player and would've have a spot on any NFL roster normally.

The team he was dropped from has arguably the best core of D-Ends in the league. I will bet he is on a roster somewhere for next season. I never said he was a great football player but I do know if you get the award for best defensive end in the SEC you do not suck at the game of football. That I know for a fact.

    If he didn't bring so much distraction and wanting to have his own tv show, he might of been a 53rd man. If he was truly good teams don't even care if he's gay, they will sign him. Look how much crap Aldon Smith is putting his team through, how much distraction he caused. The 49ners had to cut him but other teams immediately signed him because he had true talent and he is a great football player. Teams will put up with your issues if you can help contribute towards winning. But if you're a big distraction towards the organization and you don't bring much on the football field, teams won't sign u.

    I'm a conservative, Tea Pary, right wing Repulican and he should be in the NFL as a pass rusher/3rd down nickel LB. He should not have French kissed his boyfriend on live TV when he got drafted, he shouldn't have gone Hollywood and should've turned down GQ, and he shouldn't have got Oprah involved. When your a 7th round draft pick you have to keep your head down and just work. He did that for the most part but he was going to Hollywood. He is a tweener and he is not a ST player, but he is a good football player. Coaches don't like all the mass hysteria and all that ,especially for an average player. He's has to get away from all the celebrity,, keep working, and keep his head down. He'll find a team.

      A very intelligent comment. I think most rational people agree that he is good enough to at least have a shot as a backup/practice squad guy. Too bad he made those poor decisions; many kids fresh out of college often make poor decisions, but this one was pretty costly.

    Dude plays as a 4-3 defensive end, which means half the teams can't use him anyways unless he moves to linebacker, and he doesn't play special teams, so was he really surprised when he didn't make the Rams, I don't think there is a person who honestly thinks he could play over Chris long or Robert Quinn on the Rams, and I don't think he would ever start for the Cowboys either. His sexuality had nothing to do with it.

The next day Sam had the following to say "Despite what headlines you may read, I've never said and have never believed that I am being kept out of the league. I know I have talent to play in the NFL and I look forward to getting an opportunity once again to prove that I can help a team win."

The NFL is a different type of machine but if anything they would have had to do the fake support if he has just played football. The NFL boots players out all the time, only the ones making them a shit ton of money get to get away with things. They don't care about anyone, their feelings or their health. But if thats what you love to do you have to deal with the crap the NFL will put you through.

      Chris Parker Yeah, against 3rd and 4th string players. There was no way he was ever going to make that roster because the Rams have an absolutely loaded defensive line. The fact of the matter is that a player's performance in college has almost nothing to do with how good they'll be in the NFL. I could name a bevy of players at multiple positions that aren't/weren't good in the NFL. This isn't anything new.

  • @dayzdayzspoof8664
    @dayzdayzspoof8664 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The guy has obvious issues. Just seeing him talk and his demeanor, you can tell something is off. The guy tried to use his coming out card to gain an advantage in the draft, it backfired. He's tested poorly multiple times. Being a great player in college doesn't mean a thing. There are recent Heisman winners that aren't on teams. Tebow is a great example. Just because you excelled in college, doesn't mean it carries over. The worst player in the NFL was the best on his college team.
    Bottom line, Michael Sam cares more about being a celebrity than a football player, and no GM wants that distraction.

    As a Cowboys fan, our pass rush is pitiful. If he was talented enough to play, he would most definitely be playing. Fact of the matter is he wasn't good enough and got cut. There was very little hype around him being in Dallas, and very little hype when he got cut; therefore blaming it on even being "a distraction" isn't valid. Your college accolades don't translate into NFL accolades, just ask Johnny Manziel. You were a 7th round draft pick that had a miniscule chance of making a team on talent alone. Plus, I'm not a fan of his attitude. Look at the people who are speaking to you and be respectful. This is the last we'll be hearing about Michael Sam and the NFL. He's finished and needs to understand that and move on.
