You would think Sam would be one of the first players "drafted" by a NFL team since Sam was the best player in what is regarded as the best football conference? However, Sam was drafted 249th and has not played a single play in the NFL regular season.
Have you heard of Jason Collins? Collins played for years in the NBA and finally came out as a homosexual a few years ago. Collins has only played 22 games since then and only started 1.
-O
I know **** all about football, so I won't comment there.
But I know basketball really well.
Jason Collins was on his way out of the league when he made his announcement. In the season before he came out he played 38 games (out of 82) and averaged 1.1 points per game. He was also 33 (which is old in basketball terms) when he made the announcement. He was done as a basketball player.
There is actually a more likely scenario that he only played another game in the NBA because he announced that he was gay. The NBA (more specifically the team Brooklyn) wanted to show support for the LGBT community. Dude got applauded when he played his first game.
ffs they took the All-Star game away from the Hornets because of the state overturning the bathroom thing.
But don't let facts get in the way of your agenda.
If you want people to treat you without judging, maybe you should do the same and stop playing the victim.
