Should the Broncos draft Michael Sam?

[broncosteven]

Poll questions suck. Count me as could care less. Don't care about his private life and not sure about his play.

Agreed on both counts.

[Guess Who]

Who cares? Why is this even a topic other than it's the biggest pet cause of the media at the current time?

It's a huge deal because it has never happened before. Gay players have been living In the shadows and living a lie their whole professional careers. This man isn't and what happens to him will decide how many other players come out. In 3 years maybe this will be no big deal but it is huge right now.

Can he run the 40 though?

[El Minion]

He should be judged by the penetration he gets on the field, not off it.

That's what all the ass-holes should worry about

[Arkie]

Just think of all the possible 'Sam I Am' rhymes.

Do it!

I do not like them,
Sam-I-am.

Dude is a badass football player. I'd draft him.

He loves being a badass

[Punisher]

He ain't going undrafted.

Hes a hard hitter

It sounds like this player didn't like some of his former teammates talking about Sam behind his back, I'm not seeing where he said anything bad about Sam.

Woops. Meant to put "them" not him.

Looks like it wasn't all rosy.

Which is what makes me think the kid goes undrafted. You can't tell me Kerry Rhodes isn't a better free safety than Mike Adams or Michael Huff. And he's a known commodity who was still somewhat closeted.

If an openly gay kid had Suh, Von, J.J. Watt, Patrick Peterson type talent than I think that would transcend bias, but NFL teams aren't going to open the Pandora's box of drafting an openly gay player with a 3rd or 4th round grade. They'll simply draft another player with a 3rd or 4th round grade instead. Not saying it's right, just reality.

. All that doesn't matter. The kid could go #1 Overall or undrafted. The second he gets cut or not re-upped. People will come out of the wood works accusing the organization of bigotry regardless of ability to play the game. How long did it take Tebow nut huggers to face the reality that he couldn't play football. 4 YEARS! Now your talking about the media #1 subject of sexuality?!? Forget about it. Any team that picks him up and lets him go will be labeled as bigots and homophobia for years.

Total agreement there.

That's what I don't get about Rhodes. He's lights out better than anyone who had a need at that position this year. Not one team even brought him in for a look.
