I’m not the mainstream right wing media, but I can answer the question…
Jonathan Cohn asked an interesting question at The New Republic this week. Where is the mainstream, right-wing reaction to NFL prospect and SEC defensive player of the year Michael Sam’s announcement that he is gay?
I’m having the same reaction to that as I would to this. “Where is the mainstream, right-wing reaction to NFL prospect and SEC defensive player of the year Michael Sam’s eating a cheeseburger with fries and a soda?”
I. Don’t. Care. He plays football. That’s his career choice. His only job is to do his job, and do it to the best of his ability. If he’s good at it, he’s a team player, he puts the team before himself, does his best to support a cohesiveness that leads to success, he should be compensated accordingly.
If he wants to gay-grandstand, push people’s buttons, go out of his way to make other team members or staff uncomfortable, try to force the league into a situation where he can file lawsuits, get publicity for being gay instead of being a great player who builds up his team and his league, then he’s just some assh**e who just happens to also be gay.
Just do your job. Why do progressives have to make everything so damn complex?
On a related note…the Gaystapo lawsuit thing is getting a suitable response in Kansas.
