    Ugh.

    Don Jones tweets out "OMG" and "Horrible" at Sam being drafted.

    Just ban everyone on the 53 from twitter, nothing good comes from it

    Everybody's got the right to show themselves to be an idiot. Good job Mr. Jones, here's your sign:

    well, newsflash: we knew you were a buffoon.

    Was it milking it to show any player with his girlfriend?

    Hi. Im Gay. We hug and kiss dudes.

    I seem to disagree with just about everything you say on every topic, so I'm not suprised that this isn't any different.

    On the original topic, what a dunce. How can ANY NFL player not have gotten the message yet that you can't say that, regardless of what you want. Its horrible company PR.

    I still don't have an issue with what Pouncey said. Stupid? Probably but it was a joke. No harm intended.

    Don Jones on the other hand is a complete idiot. He has a right to his opinion but he needs to not post it on twitter like a moron when he knows it's controversial.

    Other than that, two players out of 53. I'm not going to freak out over them being on social media.

    the players on this team need to have all their twitter account deactivated, until they can act like mature adults.

    To be fair, I don't want watch any player kiss his girlfriend.

    I don't want to watch people kiss. Not even in movies. They should just have high fives.

    We were seeing plenty of pictures of Tannyhill's wife when he was drafted, why isn't it the same with Sam's girlfriend?

    They can. It's not fair to lump everyone else in with a few bad eggs.

    Jelani Jenkins and Jarvis Landry both had very nice things to say.

    I didnt have a problem with it doesnt change the fact they were milking it. When is the last time they showed a guy kissing his gf with cake on both their faces during the draft.

    I frankly don't care that they showed Sam kiss his boyfriend (in fact I was a bit relieved they did), but both them and NFLN absolutely milked the Sam topic way too much IMO.

    Similarly they milked Manziel way too damn much.

    On cbssports the top story is Manziel slides to 22 in the draft. Second story is Michael Sam gets drafted at #249.

    Ive never seen so much coverage for a 7th round pic. Nearly 5 min on him crying with his bf and look the girls baked him a cake. So sweet.. He lays down with men, awesome.. I'm with Jones on this one "OMG" Can we move on to football now?

    I love it.

    The people that think homosexuality is a big deal because its wrong also think the first openly gay player drafted is not a big deal. Seriously, if you guys would just treat gay people like everyone else then it wouldn't be a big deal when something like this happens.

    I guess when your opinion is built on bigotry and stupidity, worrying about consistency is just unnecessary.

    You're obviously not grasping the point that if he wasnt gay he gets drafted in the 4th round.

    Classic national media:

    "Openly gay man kisses man with cameras rolling, proving he is really gay, like for real though!.....more at 11. and 6. and 9. and a live 3pm sportscenter. And in the newspapers. and on the cover of obscure sports quarterly. And on espn 8 the ocho. And on twitter. And behind the pay wall of the New York post. And in Omar Kellys fantasies."

    Openly gay you mean. There probably have been gay players drafted in the first round.

    It's not that cut and dry.

    Personally I could care less, think gay people should be treated the same etc etc but when you have Sam running around trying to promote his "Sam-Strong" apparel then it crosses in to attention whoring at it's finest imo.

    How do you figure? He started the offseason as a 4th round target on most mocks. Then he blew chunks at the combine when he couldn't show that he could make the transition to OLB. So he was stuck as a lightweight 4-3 DE. That's why he slid.

    I'm more surprised that Craig Loston and Dion Bailey weren't drafted, and that Sam was drafted over them.

    From what I have read he was lucky to be drafted period. I'm no NFL expert though so I could be wrong. 4th or 7th he should be known for his football prowess not for his sexual preference and seeing him make front page because he got drafted at #249 tells me it's all about who he is sleeping with, and very little to do with football skills. I wish him the best of luck and hope he is successful (except against us of course) just like every other draftee though..

    None of that is really his fault. He isn't the one putting it on the front page, or even writing posts about it on a football board.

    If he came out gay and the rest of the world said, "So what? Can you play football?" There is no conversation or extra media coverage.
