Michael Sam cut by St. Louis Rams - ESPN

But, but...he was being literally handed guaranteed millions just for being gay! They were afraid to cut him! They wanted to sell tickets!

He got his chance, for football reasons alone, he wasn't quite good enough. I blame Obama.
 
The Rams have to be deep as hell. One of their two sixth-rounders and all four of their seventh-rounders got cut.

Except at QB....but who cares about that position?
 
He had sacks and tackles for losses. Sure looked like he had a good camp.

He did, but the undrafted rookie free agent Ethan Westbrooks had a better one and they have a very deep defensive line.

Sam will probably make the practice squad or he might get picked up by some team looking for a situational pass rusher.
 
He will probably get picked up by another team. He looked pretty good for another team to look at him.

Admittedly I only saw his highlights on ESPN and don't follow the Rams. My Jets are deep at DL as well so he probably won't be here. We need corner backs. Got any of those? Gay or straight as long as they can cover. :lol:

Dudes get released all the time........ It's the way football works...

I'm sure he will find a job on a practice squad or maybe in the Canadian Football League...

He'll get picked up by someone else and if not, he'll find his way to the Canadian Football League and work his way back the the NFL once he proves himself. And in Canada, the circus won't come to town with him.

Yeah ok well, I just don't want to see a scrub get a starting NFL spot due to PC bull****.

So if he had made the team, that would have been simply because of "PC bull****"?
 
I think it was smart of them to draft him, it gave them loads of media attention.

Good post... I totally agree....The guy just was not good enough to make the Rams.

Probably not but maybe...... He was a 4th round pick right?
 
Don't bet on it...........To much baggage at this time. He should have kept his mouth shut.

"Baggage" that had virtually zero effect while he was in camp.

That volcano in Iceland that's erupting could disrupt the travel of thousands of airliners that fly in that direction - thanks a lot, Obama!

They'll blame all that on AGW....

Remember nature/solar activity has no role in climate via the AGW nuts...

.
He wasn't going to start even if he made the team. Don't let that stop the hyperbole train.

Hence he was released...The fact he was even given a shot or drafted was a publicity stunt.

There's 53 guys on an NfL team. 22 of them start. The rest don't get cut. He didn't get released fir not being a starter.
