Report: Michael Sam 'pouting' after CFL teammate's comment

http://www.foxsports.com/nfl/story/...21217551249719&adbpl=fb&adbpr=749212008450275

Sam has been placed on the Alouettes suspended list, and a source told Zurkowsky that the likelihood of Sam returning to the team is “non-existent.” Another source speculated that Sam left after overreacting to a comment a teammate made about him.

“All I know is I heard somebody made a comment about him, about how he wasn’t very good and wasn’t having a very good camp,” the person said. “He took it personally and was pouting in his room. It’s very strange. I have no idea what’s going on. He might have a personal issue.”

There sure is a lot of wasted time and space on a guy who will never likely play a down on NFL football.

Agreed.

Michael Sam leaves CFL's Alouettes

MONTREAL (AP) -- Michael Sam is stepping away from pro football.

Sam, the first openly gay player drafted by the NFL, has told the Canadian Football League's Montreal Alouettes that he is leaving the team.

''The last 12 months have been very difficult for me, to the point where I became concerned with my mental health,'' Sam tweeted Friday. ''Because of this I am going to step away from the game at this time.''

The Alouettes confirmed in a release that Sam has left the club for ''personal reasons'' and that he has been added to the team's suspended list.

He did not play in Montreal's home loss to Edmonton on Thursday night, with the team citing a sore back. He made his CFL debut the previous week.

The 25-year-old defensive end, the 2013 Southeastern Conference defensive player of the year at Missouri, failed to record a tackle in Montreal's loss to Ottawa.

Sams is a weirdo & is also NOT good enough to play pro football. Nothing more needs to be said.

 

[Mr.Dibbs]

His 15 minutes of fame are up. Forever known for breaking a barrier, but not a roster.

 

[SoCal Cardfan]

I would say his "coming out" has pretty much guaranteed other gay players will now opt to keep the closet door closed.

What a disaster.

 

[AZCrazy]

Hope the 49ers pick him up.

Just curious. Has any player come forth & declared themselves the first openly heterosexual football player? If not, they should. How about the first openly transvestite? Just play football

Openly transvestite shouldn't have to say a word. I doubt they're fooling anyone.
