Let's start with what you did say...

So I asked what barrier? Being the first at something? He wasn't the first gay player, but I guess openly gay player? Is this the barrier? But wait, there was no barrier to being openly gay in the NFL was there? Did I miss that? Now onto your nonsense of a post.
First Openly Gay Athlete on a major American team sport. You missed that? it was in all the papers.
Yeah but wait, wasn't there an openly gay NBA player last year? Haven't there been openly gay golfers, both men and women, tennis players, both men and women, race-car drivers, I mean, dude there are openly gay at almost everything these days.
Since no one is saying that where is this coming from?
Dude, from YOU, see above. You said he broke a barrier. Well what friggin barrier was there and how did he break it.
Again fell for what, the thing you said is happening but isn't.
Oh there's a narrative alright, and right on cue libs such as yourself, even when pointed out to you deny it is happening. Ah the beauty of ignorance. We're doomed I tell you.
Yes, in fact the point of this being a big deal is that we a moving beyond the time when gays were forced into closets to be high profile in many areas of society. Not so much any more.
Again, doubling down I see. The only person that forced Sam into a closet was Sam. Not the NFL, not the NBA, not the NHL and not MLB.
I know what every one of those words mean just not in the way you use them. Can you parse this out a bit?
Whatever.. The point being is that every aspect of society will always have some degree of bigotry, but the larger point is that it isn't institutional as the gay left would have you all believe.
Please point to a single person who is saying there was.
Gee you're not very... Never mind, dude, YOU, yes YOU said there was a barrier. Well what the hell is the barrier?
I am sorry you are incapable of understanding why this is important. Maybe you should ask a friend who is gay to explain it to you.
It's important because you've been instructed like a good little soldier that it is important. Deep thinking individuals peel away the superficial.
