Not once did I say anything condemnatory toward a member of this board, as you have chosen to do. Making personal attacks on other members who dont share your viewpoint is your prefered method.
Once again, you have chosen your typical abusive ad hominem attacks. Not really sure why attacking members of the board as you continually do is tolerated on here. I really dont think that is the purpose of this board, but maybe I am wrong.
"Michael Sam -- I'm Not in the NFL ... Because I'm Gay"
This is the incendiary headline of the article that was on the first page of yahoo Sports today.
To be fair, in this quote from the same article he was asked if it was talent that kept him out or if it was his decision to come out that kept him out.
So based on that i can see why the article might draw that conclusion. Obviously, Sam came out and clarified his stance on twitter but according to that above quote one could perceive that he was blaming the sexuality aspect and not that he wasnt talented. Either way, some of the venom you guys dropped on Dzone was unnecessary from the word go."I think I was the SEC Defensive Player of the Year last year," Sam responded, when asked if it was the level of competition in the NFL or his decision to come out that was preventing him from sticking with a team. "So I don't think it had to do with talent."
That quote could have very well meant that he's not on a team because of the media distraction that would come with it. It's definitely not fair to him to title an article "I'm not in the NFL because I'm gay" based on that quote.
I think the main reason dzone is being "attacked" (a term which I think is a stretch in this case) is because he just outright called him a loser for really no good reason.
Yea, but he wasnt asked if it was due to talent or media distraction. He was asked point blank if it was talent or because he came out. Could the article writer dug a little deeper? Probably. But i can still see why one might conclude that he was pointing towards his sexuality.
Well, you've been here long enough to know that politicians, athletes, and celebrities are free game to be called anything in here whereas flaming each other is not. You may not think its fair but those are the rules that in place. Just saying.I think the main reason dzone is being "attacked" (a term which I think is a stretch in this case) is because he just outright called him a loser for really no good reason.
