I am Sam... Openly Gay... Sam I AM!

     Is the NFL ready for an openly gay football player?  That is the question tossed around by every news organization.  We ponder this question as if it is legitimate.  We pretend gay football players have not existed previously.  More than a couple of former NFL players have admitted they were gay as far back as the 1970's.  I am quite sure gay football players existed previously.  Yet we act as if it is something new.  The new part is the "openly."  From the reactions of some players I can surmise they believe "openly gay" means homosexual players will be playing on Sundays with their penises outside their football pants.  It seems to be common knowledge among some NFL'ers that the gay penis suffers from some sort of Butthole ADD and spends all it's time jumping randomly from one exposed butthole to another.  
     Not a single NFL player has expressed outrage at the members of his profession being represented as a bunch of homophobic neanderthals.  We all probably have and do work with homosexuals in our own professions yet I cannot recall one case where a homosexual gave in to his uncontrollable urges and anally raped anyone.  Rape is the domain of heterosexuals.  That is part of the fear.  The ignorant, aggressive, selfish, sociopathic members of the NFL are uneasy with the notion that they may be viewed as a sex object by someone who may be physically bigger and stronger than their self.  I love it. Every moron I hear express concern regarding the "shower situation" is simply projecting their own character on to an undeserving homosexual.  These homophobes are letting you know if a woman was to shower with them after the game the woman would be at the mercy of the bigger, stronger player.  The heterosexual male knows how heterosexual males think.  If that woman is present in the shower she is undoubtedly "asking for it."  In their two celled brain the only logical conclusion can be if the heterosexual player knowingly showers with the an openly gay player, he is asking for it.  See, that makes sense if you are marginally retarded.
     The NFL is not known for producing Nobel Prize winners.  Some have gone on to make a mark in society but many have squandered away their millions and return to the life they lived prior to their fortune and fame.  We are looking for a rational, intelligent, well-reasoned reaction from a group of men who have decided to risk permanent injury and possibly death for football glory.  We want the caveman who is still enamored with fire to explain physics.  This is not going to happen.  
     So instead of  expecting and demanding more of our "heroes" we rejoice as David is thrown to the lions.  We feign repulsion while tuning in to watch David being torn limb from limb.  This event was made for television.  It is like dropping a naked, teenage, virgin into a prison for convicted rapists.  It is abhorrent but we have to watch... with our rapists jersey on.  
     This story is getting more press attention than the molestation of children in the Catholic church.  Why, because this is more serious.  This is not religion.  This is the NFL!!!  
     I have watched Michael Sam's interviews.  He seems like a well-spoken and obviously courageous young man.  I hope when he hits the field his competitive side kicks in.  I hope every time he sacks a quarterback he stands above them thrusting his hips and screaming "Suck It!"  I hope every time he chases down an opposing running back he jumps up, curtsies, and screams "The fags are gonna catch ya!"  
     Some general managers have stated they may avoid selecting the young man in the draft because of the accompanying media circus.  You remember, like the one created by allowing Jackie Robinson to play baseball?  God forbid media attention be brought to your stoop for opening the door and bringing the caveman fire.  We reserve that sort of attention for the dog killers, child molesters, and murderers who proudly wear the "Shield."  
     Is the NFL ready for an openly gay player?  The simple answer should be "If they aren't..... there should no longer be an NFL."

WHITE FRIGHT (The "Coloreds" are Coming)

     "Them Ni**ers is lazy!"  My grandmother would yell at the television as we cheered her favorite football team, the University of Alabama, on a sunny, fall Alabama afternoon.  Puzzled, I would respond in my meek ten-year-old voice, "Grandma, the black guys are running circles around the fat white guys."  Oblivious to my keen observation she would continue, "They're animals. They ain't got normal sized human brains.  They’re dumb."  Undaunted I politely proclaimed, "But Grandma those black men are in college."  My grandmother, a fifth-grade graduate, leered at me as she spoke, "I liked football better before they allowed them Porch Monkeys to play with them good, Christian, white boys."  As I sat innocently on the worn, smoke-filled sofa of my grandmother's living room, under the watchful eyes of numerous Jesus renderings, it was obvious my grandmother was having difficulty adjusting to the integration of her belove

AMERICA... THE DYSFUNCTIONAL PARENT

Image
     My 50+ years on this earth I've had many extraordinary experiences.  I've have taken advantage of everything America had to offer.  Early on, at the age of nineteen, I learned my first adult lessons about participation in the American way of life.  Regrettably, I learned sometimes America is not what it is portrayed to be.  I learned the American Dream is not necessarily the goal we chase but the way we retell the story of America.  Revisionist history is often the American Dream.  We long for the good old days, not when America was necessarily great but when we were young enough not to know any better.  Don't misunderstand me.  America has done some great things.  Technology and War are two of our greatest things.  But when you take a closer look at the "Greatness" of America you will find it was never great for all, and rarely great for most.      I am astonished how many Americans can preach the positive attributes of America while ignoring the glaring

COWBOY IN A WHITE HAT

Seventeen dead school children.   That’s a small price to pay so Americans can protect their right to play pretend cowboy.   We gotta be armed in case the Native Americans, Muslims, Atheists, Aborted Fetuses or the military of our great country decide to attack us.   Because let’s be honest nothing puts the fear of God in a Super Power military than a bunch of rifle-totin, frightened, hilbillies who weren’t smart or disciplined enough to finish high school but innately possess the strategic military skills passed down from their Confederate forefathers.   Sure God will protect us but only after we empty our magazine on a Ivy-league educated, communist-loving, constitution-hating, liberal-minded, atheist, half-breed, transsexual who will inevitably invade our double-wide to use the bathroom beside our youngens.      I am a courageous American.   I have no fear.   Hell, it says it on the back of my pickup window, “No Fear.”   Sometimes I drive around town and don’t even use my bli
