He is the one that made this about his sexual orientation.  Until he opened his big mouth no one gave a rats behind about the issue. I for one could care less and I stand by my belief that he is not good enough to play in the NFL. Neither are the hundreds of other players cut every year, some of whom may also be gay and most of whom are not but all of whom kept their sexual orientation to themselves because it didn't matter.

And quit talking about SEC player, All America, etc.  There are tons of them that didn't make it in the NFL.  In fact a fair number of Heisman Trophy winners struggled in professional football. It's a totally different game than college, both in terms of speed and size/strength.  He barely got drafted, he got cut, he didn't get picked up on waivers and the only team that wants him as cannon fodder for the first, second and third string was South America's team.  Let's see how long that lasts. Maybe he will improve enough to make the team and maybe not.  Time will tell but I will be happy for the day when the media is no longer fixated on some third rate player because he decided to tell the world he was gay.  It just isn't important. 

Speaking of which, my two favorite teams are the Pittsburgh Steelers and whoever is playing the Cowboys.  I would go for the Browns and the Ravens over the Cowboys and that says a lot.
