First openly gay NFL draftee Michael Sam cut by Rams

[Kalis]

And your basis is what?

No, you've made the claim that a third are, you back it up.

In the UK, the numbers are about 2-3% for people who identify as gay or bisexual, and I imagine the US isn't vastly different, so where do you get your 30-40% claim for the NFL from?

It's no point saying YOUR OPINION IS WRONG MINE IS RIGHT without pulling evidence otherwise it's all speculation, which I already addressed

[theostrichsays]

This is what it comes down to really. He just isn't at the NFL skill level yet.

Anyone know, did he actually graduate from university, or did he leave to join the NFL? I wonder what he'll do now, if he'll go back and finish his degree. Pretty sure he can't play for a college team anymore.

Not to be rude, but what's yours? Links to studies please?

I'm sure he has other opportunities available to him based upon his recognition, same way Tebow did.

I already said im not talking about out people

[Varabently]

So if anything bad happens to a gay person it's BECAUSE they're gay? That's fucking convenient.

[AeneasBK]

Your perception is clouded by the people you know. The notion that a third of men in professional sports are gay or bi is plainly moronic, and as retarded a comment as your previous one about Southern chippies.

What you need to do is get out more to meet people and experience more things outside of your very narrow circle.

Wht have you got against chippies in the south?

As I said speculation and knowing a large % dont openly identify as either

I am sure the LGBT will be on it in no time

Most LGBT won't give a shit

Nothing, but apparently the Northern ones are better than the Southern ones, because of reasons that make no sense to anyone who has been to more than a couple of chippies in their lifetime.

No, you're talking out of your arse. Prove your claim, or we'll go with the numerous surveys done that show figures in the realms of 2-3%.

[Tastyfish]

everyone who knows football knows it's not cause he is gay.
He will be on a team, the Rams just are not the place for him cause they are solid where he would be, without him.
It was a bad fit for him anyhow.

Suggesting the % isnt accurate

Have you even traveled North?

Some team, will get hit by injuries and he will provide a cheap high motor alternative. Like I said though if not, he will get the Tebow treatment where his "celebrity" as a football player who will provide him opportunities inside/outside of football, among the crowds who support them.

...and still nowhere near the 30-40% you claimed.

Have you even traveled North?

Yes, a number of times.

Funnily enough, they cook chips the same oop North as they do down South! Who would have thought it?

[AeneasBK]

Have you even traveled North?

Have you ever been South? And No Birmingham doesn't count as "The South"

Actually each Fish n Chip shop utilize their own method and acquire ingrediants differently... I should know, I lived in a chippy. Prices affect taste too.

Yes, i've had roughly 50 different fish n chips down south and only 15 were nice, the rest were dry/small/bland. Compared to North around 30/50 were nicer

[Belize]

They cut 22 others too, was it because they were straight or because they were bad?

Because they were secretly gay!

*tinfoil hat*

So what you are saying is that each fish and chip shop is different? What a revelation!

There are, or were as one closed down, two chippies near me. One made some of the nicest chips I have ever had (sadly it was the one that closed down, but it was because his wife wanted to move), the other is average.

So does that mean chippies in Malta are excellent or average? Or perhaps, does it entirely depend on the chippy and not the location?

You said you'd been to one the other day, you've been busy recently

in population studies of primates most studies sugest that the straigthness quotient is pretty solidly 90%.
This excludes all non "standard" (i.e straight) behaviour.
the 30-40% number is patently ridiculous.

This is the only person who said the right thing and knows what he is talking about. Michael Sam played fine... in fact he is suspected by all sites to be picked up by another team or join Rams practice squad. The only reason he didn't end up on the 53 man roster was because that one position they were already super deep and it came down between him and another guy who both played solid.... BUT the other player was able to also help out on special teams, and Sams didn't know that position....so he was edged out.

Plain and simple...it was a depth thing, and pretty much they gave him a shot without really even needing to add him from the draft. I still feel the Rams broke social barriers selecting him...now lets see if another team can muster to pick him up.
