OMG and HORRIBLE. eye rolling smiley

Hardly a gay bash but the intent was there. And right now is not a good time to show any ignorance on any level or disharmony directed at someone's race, sexual preference, or even the color of their shoes. Especially the Miami Dolphins whose owner has gone as far as drafting a document stating he will be the leader against the fight against bulling in the near future. The politics are here and those dumb enough not to see the writing on the wall will suffer professionally .

Freedom of speech is only there for those that use it for accepted means. Freedom of speech is what the press & the Media deems acceptable and how they choose to use it.

Freedom of Speech (i.e. the 1st Amendment) protects you from the govt. It doesn't protect you from private organizations or the general public. That's what Affirmative Action was for, but the Supreme Court seems happy to rip that apart.

Gotta love Dennis Miller:

"How can a league that supposedly espouses sensitivity call the last pick in the draft "Mr. Irrelevant?" Names hurt Commissioner Goodell!"

CORRECT! Unless they deem it acceptable. The private organizations and the media collectively use it as a tool to state the outcome of what they want to accomplish. There are some private organizations that have freedoms that others do not. The media is an animal I'll never understand.

Look I'm not saying one organizations message is better then another's. I'm just saying if you want to be successful at all you need to learn the politics of the game your playing and Don Jones just got a class 101. So did The Miami Dolphins last season. Say what you want privately, feel the way you want , but do not tweet it, text it , or be secretly recorded saying it like the Clippers owner Mr Sterling. Once they have it on record you are food for the greater machine.

GO DOLPHINS!!!!

Exactly Monte.

Free speech doesn't mean speech without consequences, it means speech without persecution.


If you own a restaurant and you blog on Facebook about how much you hate blacks, jews and gays you can't claim they are violating your first amendment rights to free speech when they don't eat at your restaurant.

True. But is that a reflection on the leadership or just society in general changing its values? Some Teams do handle it better then others no doubt. The Pats have a triple Homicide Murderer and no one is batting an eye at them! We have a bunch of meatheads calling each other 3rd grade taunts and we are the epicenter for national bullying despite being grown men.

Bullying is a national trend and I guess someone in the Press caught on to the J Martin story and boom, you have a media onslaught. Don Shula seemed to have a much better grasp on his players. back them he was the GM and the coach. he picked his groceries. maybe there was a better connection who knows? I think the Dolphins got the message across to the players loud and clear.
If I was a player I wouldn't even own a Twitter account. Unless a sponsor paid me to have one and maintained it .

Ask yourself this. Will you ever be attracted to a man? Even Brad Pitt?

That is how Michael Sam feels about women. Of course its something your born with dildo eye rolling smiley . And forcing him to succumb to how you and I feel is just as wrong as it would be to force you to like a man in that way. Empathy. Look it up.

I don't hate the man for being gay! I just do not wana see it. You wanna be affectionate fine you have a bedroom door. Also brad Pitt was a attractive man. I wish I had his looks lol. This is my issue with it. He was drafted because he was gay. He won't be a game changer because he is too little for a DE in today's league. He won't transition well to LB and the news media only covers it to get controversy. It's a disgusting act in general and it is stupid people give two poops too much about a player who will not even be in the league in three years! Yeeaaahhh gay pride wins another news coverage.

Jones went with the same sentiment, I wrote here about yesterday: Children should never be exposed to this sort of unnatural behavior. No doubt ESPN staged the whole thing. I take back the Saints thing bounty. The reality is he's gonna crack eventually under the pressure. This is not College anymore. Coach Fisher said it. If he sucks, he's out. Beginning to think when the final roster of 53 comes around next August, hard to say if he would be still around. Just saying.

And when I was a kid in the 60's and there were restaurants and movie theaters I couldn't go to, it was common for Whites to say, "I've got nothing against Colored People, I just don't want to see them sitting near me when I eat or sitting in a movie theater next to me."

We had one movie house in my hometown. They had put up a GLASS PARTITION at the railing of the balcony and we Blacks could only sit in the balcony and Whites could not sit in the balcony and had to sit downstairs. The glass was there so that Whites did not breathe the same air as the Blacks.

>You wanna be affectionate fine you have a bedroom door.

But every OTHER draft pick, kissed his girl when his name was announced and the camera was on him, so why are you picking on him? Did you say when you saw those shots, "Hey, why do we have to see kissing? This is about Football." I don't think you did. Ask yourself why you didn't, Sickofit+1.

>Also brad Pitt was a attractive man. I wish I had his looks lol. This is my issue with it. He was drafted because he was gay.

I guess you missed my post above when I said that he was on the ALL SEC team BEFORE he announced Gay and I forgot to add that while Clowney was on that same team as the other Defensive Tackle MICHAEL SAM WAS NAMED PLAYER OF THE YEAR. (BEFORE ANYONE KNEW HE WAS GAY).

SHOOTS THE HELL OUT OF YOUR 'they only did it for publicity or to advance an agenda' theory, huh?


>He won't be a game changer because he is too little for a DE in today's league.

He didn't do too bad in college.

>He won't transition well to LB

Again, I assume you are saying this based on his sexual preference just like others said that about Jackie Robinson based on his race.


>and the news media only covers it to get controversy.

Oh, absolutely! But complaining about them, media people, doing that is like complaining about how all yard workers want to do is cut grass! In other words, you're being silly. But in your mind you see this huge Gay conspiracy to control the world.

>It's a disgusting act in general

You feel that way because it's a disgusting act to you as it is to me but long ago I used that feeling of disgust I felt at the act to enlighten myself and come to the conclusion that what I was feeling was PROOF that homosexuality is not a choice but must be COMPELLED by your makeup because otherwise, how could you fight your natural feelings (if you were naturally straight) to come to be attracted to other men.

>and it is stupid people give two poops too much about a player who will not even be in the league in three years!

If your prediction is right, then based on his having been singled out as outstanding player in the toughest conference in football (SEC) BEFORE he came out as gay, I would venture to say it was BECAUSE he came out, not because he is Gay.

>Yeeaaahhh gay pride wins another news coverage.

Like every other news item that eventually gets to the "been there, done that" stage, it too will get old one day.

It's only unnatural to you and I because we aren't built the same way. For Gays, having sex with the opposite sex is UNnatural and they let you know it.

CHyren it would have been just as tasteless had Aj Mcarron and his girlfriend did what Micheal Sam and his boyfriend did, there is no difference... They want to do that crap, go get a room, it was pretty tacky, tasteless, and a horrible representation for the first openly gay NFL draftee to represent himself in such a way, let alone on camera... If Mcarron or Manziel did that type of over the top nonsense i would say the same thing, go get a room, no need to act that sexual on TV for an NFL sports draft... Micheal Sam showed me he probably isn't going to be the best guy to represent what he is representing.. He did a disservice to the entire LGBT community...

Chyren the kiss didn't bother me, it was the cake scene that was tasteless, and Sam instigated that whole thing... He is an embarrassment to what he represents, mark my word, this isn't going to end well for him... He obviously doesn't have the right judgement nor temperament.... Nobody in the entire draft came close to doing what Sam did... I can promise you one thing, he is no Jackie Robinson...

Michael Sam and his gayness are his problem. He forced it on the league and the fans by coming out before the draft. Perhaps he should try and find our lord and savior Jesus Christ. Look I don't hate Sam however he brought this upon himself, and now the media wants too make him a victim by constantly broadcasting that abhorrent kiss with his boyfriend. That was a terrible way to welcome yourself to the league Sam. Soon you will be gone, and good riddance.

Finshady- we are all mere mortals... We all have equal rights to believe what we choose and no ones beliefs trumps another, because they are just beliefs. None of us are in position of almighty judgement on another... I appreciate and respect that which you believe but those beliefs don't give you the right to judge anyone else's beliefs... Try and appreciate and respect others rights to their beliefs as you want those to appreciate and respect yours...

lol Mr B stop bringing up race in everything. Goodness in sorry your ancestors sold your ancestors to European ancestors and it took forever to finally abolish and get over slavery and segregation. I think being gay is something that can be cured like a disease so call me what you want I'm not changing my stance on it. There are things in everyone's lives that we do not understand do not like and or hate and frankly do not care if my views offend people. I was born how I was just like you where how you where. Now you are more than welcome to your own opinions and in not going to tell you your wrong about how you feel. You should do the same. We all know and have a gay friend or family member we know and I do not hate anyone who is kind and generous and treat my views as how I treat theirs respected and not forced.

It was blowing 25-30 knots out of the east all last week. I went out 3 nights catching live goggle eye and sardines. Then fished all day in the tournament in a 35 ft center console in 8 feet wind swells with bigger sets crashing over and filling the boat.. Fished 3 kites with nine baits on one side and 3 deep lines and 3 flats on the other all at one time... Mind you in what we call "victory at sea" conditions... If I took you with me in my non real fishing, you would be curled up in the fetal position crying like a little girl...

If you took me "bass" fishing, I would fish with a beer, cigar and my feet up enjoying the 4inch chop in the lake and a nice tan in my shorts flip flops and tshirt... SO tell me again how offshore fishing isn't real fishing? Because that is pretty amusing...
