the fuck is thisAnd I guess it doesn't hurt that one of Charlotte's nicknames is "The Queen City"
[NFL] Michael Sam, SEC co-defensive player of the year and All American, comes out as gay before NFL Draft
- Thread starter Charlie Don't Surf
- Start date
Something for you to get butthurt over.
No, I think he's got a point. Even joking about a gay football player being a "queen" is kinda stupid. It's the type of thing I expect to hear from my 7th grade students.
I follow the Alouettes closely, he just didn't have it.
He was a defeated man by the time he came here.
But ultimately, I think he was a bust. These things happen.
As per our GM :
I've said in the past that Sam was discriminated against in the NFL. That isn't the case in Montreal. It has treated him extremely well, and the locker room hasn't been particularly pernicious, I'm told by a source close to Sam. It's a franchise that wanted him, with a long history of inclusion and a GM who genuinely believes he can be a force in the pass-happy league. It is a different country and type of game, but it's set up for him to do well.

As per our GM :
He wanted to go home, and that's what he did. I don't know why. When a guy wants to go home, they go home. He had some personal things to take care of.
I wouldn't be surprised if he returns. I'm surprised he left. I was very surprised. If he doesn't come back, I would think football's over for him. He's the one that has to face that. But I don't think he doesn't want to play football. That's why he came here.
