Michael Sam, the openly gay NFL prospect from Mizzou, stepped into the spotlight this week to answer all the questions the media has been just dying to bombard him with. The real question is; besides the media, who really cares?? Now days, whether we care about something or not, the media will sure seem to make people care about the most pointless things. If they wouldn't try to brainwash people with nonsense and useless information, nobody would care what Justin or Miley's "moron move of the week" was. So why make a bigger deal out of a gay football player than we really have to, but better yet, why is this kid making a big
NOT FOOTBALL ^
deal about it himself? Seriously. SERIOUSLY. This isn't the Real Housewives of Orange County, this is football. The only show on television that's supposed to be one-hundred percent manly, American and drama-free one-hundred percent of the time. ESPN shouldn't even consider bringing up the topic, leave it for TMZ or another scripted "reality" show. Not only does it hurt their reputation by showing that they

are doing what they want them to do by publicizing the whole thing, but how many die-hard gay football fanatics do you know that come home from work, grab a beer, and sit down to watch Monday Night Football every week? If you answered correctly, the answer was slim to none. Ninety-nine percent of the people watching the show simply DO NOT CARE. And as for the other one percent, well you were never really a true fan anyway. So why would you get people all heated up about it? Next time, both ESPN and Sam just need to keep this on the low. Stop making a big deal out of it, we just want to see someone on the field get their lights
knocked out already, and some of us wouldn't be happier for it to be "Pioneer Sam". So, can we all just enjoy some drama-free football without this turning into a reality show? Hopefully TMZ doesn't buy out Monday Night Football after FOX Sports' contract runs out, and I think it's safe to say we can all keep our fingers crossed that Sam won't enter the draft with fake pair of pecs and lips the size of Russia.
