People knew of Sam in the next highest Football league, the "SEC". I didn't realize that declaring for the draft was demanding media attention, Jackie robinson would certainly never do anything like star in a movie about his own life during his baseball career or anything like that. My original point was simply saying that I hoped Sam did well in the veterans combine and you and the rest of the bigots became angry because you think its wrong that Sam is an opnely gay man and you seem to feel that players should never talk about their personal lives. Somone like Blake Bortles should be shunned because of his GF sexy picks on instagarm and Russel Wilson kissing his wife after he was drafted was also horrendous. Good thing we have you standing firm against these terrible moral outrages here on PatsFans.I find it insulting that you compare the situation of Michael Sam to the situation of Jackie Robinson. They couldn't be more different. Jackie Robinson had already been playing ball in the Negro leagues and people knew of him. He was approached to join MLB. Robinson didn't go out and demand the media attention. He did interviews that were requested of him.. Nothing more.. Robinson didn't deals done with programs ahead of time without the consent of the team that he'd be joining..
The Dodgers created the media storm by bringing Jackie Robinson to the team.. Sam was bringing the media storm with him to the Rams.. Pretty distinct difference.
