The question for conservatives is do we watch the politically correct NFL this season or just let it fade away.
Why?
Because for the NFL a political agenda seems more important that football.
From the Daily Caller:
According to NBC’s Peter King and ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith, NFL officials called teams around the league to gauge interest in signing Michael Sam to their practice squad.
Yesterday, the Dallas Cowboys signed Sam, who is trying to become the first openly gay player in NFL history.If Michael Sam had not announced he was a homosexual, no one would know who he is today. He would not have been drafted. He might have made a team as an undrafted free agent but probably not.
King reported this during the pre-game show on NBC prior to the Seahawks/Packers season opener Thursday night.
“The Rams waived Michael Sam, the first openly gay player trying to make an NFL roster, he was unemployed for two days,” King said. “During that time a league official contacted multiple teams asking if they had evaluated Sam as a probable practice squad player.”
“Now Sam and the NFL avoided a nightmare situation when he signed with the practice squad of the Dallas Cowboys.”
This report, that is surely to upset other players vying for NFL practice squads around the league, was initially reported by ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith on yesterday’s edition of “First Take.”
“According to sources I have in the NFL, the league did call a few teams. They did want teams to take Michael Sam because obviously we see what kind of movement they’re gearing for, and what they’re support of Michael Sam, who we all know, came out, acknowledged he was gay before the draft and ultimately something Roger Goodell and the NFL supports and they want their teams to support. But other teams weren’t too receptive to taking him on once the St. Louis Rams cut him,” reported the ESPN talking head.
The NFL for a couple of years has been begging for an openly homosexual player. Yes, the NFL has an agenda. Anyone remember the NFL’s implied threat to Arizona to take away the Super Bowl if Governor Jan Brewer did not veto SB 1062, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, that would have prevented homosexuals from bullying religious businesses that did not want to cater to homosexual marriage.
The treatment Michael Sam receives stands in stark contrast to the way Tim Tebow was treated. The NFL did not make any calls on his behalf. Tebow clearly had more talent and potential than Michael Sam and he was treated as a distraction to be dumped as quickly as possible. This, despite the fact, when Tebow was under center, his team won.
The NFL has long claimed it wanted to stay away from politics. Despite this claim, it does have a political agenda. Perhaps it is time for conservatives to find something else to do this fall on Sunday afternoons.
