LB3 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Doesn't sound like he's going back. All I know is I heard somebody made a comment about him, about how he wasnt very good and wasnt having a very good camp. He took it personally and was pouting in his room, https://www.yahoo.com/sports/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/michael-sam-moved-to-suspended-list-by-montreal-alouettes-140430588.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He actually seems very sad to me while trying his best to put on a happy face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He actually seems very sad to me while trying his best to put on a happy face. It is a tough situation. There's got to be a lot of resentment around him. There's going to be teammates who don't like him just because he's gay. Then there's going to be others who don't have a problem with him being gay but still resent him because they're better than him but no one cares because there's nothing special about straight players who are average at football.

truth on hold Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 (edited) It is a tough situation. There's got to be a lot of resentment around him. There's going to be teammates who don't like him just because he's gay. Then there's going to be others who don't have a problem with him being gay but still resent him because they're better than him but no one cares because there's nothing special about straight players who are average at football.We dont know what's going on, and may have nothing to do with football and only relate to his troubled family situation. But given some of the commentary, could also be football performance related. It seems like he was having.a hard time even making it past 3rd string on the depth chart. Just because a guy was drafted by NFL, doesn't make him a lock to make cfl rosters, or even if he does to be a starter. He may have bailed for "undisclosed personal reasons", thinking that's better outcome than not making the team, the latter of which pretty much destroys all his credibility as an athlete and the narrative he isn't being given a fair chance in the NFL because of his sexual orientation.

BillsCelticsAngelsBama Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Take your poorly constructed straw man elsewhere. You've refuted nothing I said and made several presumptions that You've apparently pulled straight from your ass. You mention people whose opinion differs from mine. What opinion is that? And where did I say everyone who supports equal rights is grandstanding? If you're going to attack my posts you might want to work in your reading comprehension. I have no problem with the saying; just seemed a little smug in the context you used it. + 1 to Rob on this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
