    I love how society loves killing the guy for speaking what nobody wants to hear ...

    Is it going to be smooth sailing for Sam in the locker room? Probably not.

    Should that be the case? No ...with caveats.

    Do I blame a coach for not necessarily wanting to deal with the what if situations and caveats that may arise? No.

    What Dungy is saying is no different than what he might say if he was taking a player with known character issues (i.e. Pacman Jones or Michael Vick). The only difference here is that it is tied to a subject matter that is a hot button topic.

    Did Kim steal you login? Seems like it.

    I'm hearing you don't fly off the handle. And you call a spade a spade.

    I wasn't reading many outraged by what Dungy said. The few that are offended are dumbasses who are too stupid to understand what he is saying. There's nothing hateful about it. The world is almost over Michael Sam. When he gets cut, makes the practice squad, or is inactive all next season, there won't be a peep about him.

    It is more of just a huge media blow up than anything (Shocker!), most people I know don't give a fuck about what he said... it is still annoying that some people completely miss the point.

    Disagree. His courage inspires so many of us.

    ESPN nation is outraged. This thing has legs!
