LB3 Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Doesn't sound like he's going back. All I know is I heard somebody made a comment about him, about how he wasnt very good and wasnt having a very good camp. He took it personally and was pouting in his room, https://www.yahoo.com/sports/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/michael-sam-moved-to-suspended-list-by-montreal-alouettes-140430588.html

He actually seems very sad to me while trying his best to put on a happy face.

There's going to be teammates who don't like him just because he's gay. Then there's going to be others who don't have a problem with him being gay but still resent him because they're better than him but no one cares because there's nothing special about straight players who are average at football.

But given some of the commentary, could also be football performance related. It seems like he was having.a hard time even making it past 3rd string on the depth chart. Just because a guy was drafted by NFL, doesn't make him a lock to make cfl rosters, or even if he does to be a starter. He may have bailed for "undisclosed personal reasons", thinking that's better outcome than not making the team, the latter of which pretty much destroys all his credibility as an athlete and the narrative he isn't being given a fair chance in the NFL because of his sexual orientation.

3rdand12 Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 just a sad story really. Love the media for blowing it up as large as possible. is this why people dont want to come out of wherever they come out from? i wouldn't. i would stay right in there.
Saxum Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Canadian football's Alouettes suspend defensive end Michael Sam http://sports.yahoo.com/news/canadian-footballs-alouettes-suspend-defensive-end-michael-sam-193640535--nfl.html
DC Tom Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Can someone explain why this is newsworthy ? Because he wants you to know that he's gay.
Canadian Bills Fan Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 He's baaaaaaaaaaaaaack! http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/06/26/michael-sam-is-back-in-montreal-expected-to-practice-next-week/ CBF
BillsCelticsAngelsBama Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Take your poorly constructed straw man elsewhere. You've refuted nothing I said and made several presumptions that You've apparently pulled straight from your ass. You mention people whose opinion differs from mine. What opinion is that? And where did I say everyone who supports equal rights is grandstanding? If you're going to attack my posts you might want to work in your reading comprehension. I have no problem with the saying; just seemed a little smug in the context you used it. + 1 to Rob on this one

truth on hold Posted August 15, 2015 Author Posted August 15, 2015 I think maybe it's dawning on him he's not that good
Nervous Guy Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 WTF is his deal?!? I dunno, he's like the Kim Kardashian of football, gets lots of attention but apparently has little talent.
truth on hold Posted October 17, 2015 Author Posted October 17, 2015 Sam told Patrick that he "never really want to go into the CFL," and that he "wasn't really getting better as a football player" during his time with the Alouettes. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/michael-sam-nfl-roster_56096188e4b0768126fe3673
