I agree, the scrutiny given to Michael Sam was over the top.  It should have
never been handled like that by any network.

Totally irrevelant as a paid player of the team under contract has basically
signed his rights away when it comes to saying something detrimentel to the
team.  The team felt that was being detrimental being they just went through a
racial thing not more than 3 months before.

You sign a contract to follow the guidlines of organization you better follow
them.  You gave them the right to fine or even terminate.  First Amendment
rights are forfieted. Oh well... 

Just as a sidenote, I truely beleive Stan Kroenke made a choice to draft him as
to give him an escape clause to get out of Missouri.  He just recently
purchased 60 acres of parcel on the outskirts of LA.  Knowing Missouri's laws
that discriminate against gays this maybe his golden ticket.  I found it a
little devious to use a person in this way but this is what it has come to.  No
discrination in Missouri... probably no land purchase in LA.

Enjoy 


Bill
