Well Lets hope Michael Sam is judged based on how well he can execute plays and bring the Rams to Playoffs.


"The Rams drafting Sam has raised some deeper issues about openly gay athletes in sports and in the workplace in general. Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) posted on Twitter: "Michael Sam could still be fired for just being gay according to MO law. Let's fix that in Jeffcity." From USA Today.

Lets make sure the NFL commissioner  and board makes a long term effort to ensure that all Team staff's from owner/board to the athletes do not engage in unethical conduct thats resembles the scandal that got Donald Sterling of the Clippers in Hot water with the NBA Board.

On a side note, the Rams defense looks a lot more threatening  :)

I hope he turns out to be one of the best players of his position in the sport.  He could be the modern equivalent of Jackie Robinson, a man who wasn't just a great baseball player, but a hell of a guy.  He took more abuse than any man should have had to go through, including being spat at, having things thrown at him, and being called a "hep cat" among other names.  I'm sure Sam will go through a lot of hardships but hopefully like Robinson, he is the right man at the right time.  I'm rooting for him.

Unfortunately, Jackie Robinson did all the same stuff two years later in New York where people were paying attention, so Robertson never got the credit he truly deserved.

Michael Sam can be fired for anything. It's the NFL. But the Rams didn't draft him to fire him. But if he doesn't earn a spot on the roster (a possibility), he'll get waived.

Otherwise, McCaskill has a point. But the NFL is not the real world.
