Rams can choose not to sign Sam.  Here is what they should do: come out and say that due to his reality TV show and the amount of disruption it would cause to their organization, they've chosen not to move forward with him.  Back it up by saying that if he wants to drop the show, the Rams will gladly sign him.  

 

If they frame it like that, it'll have nothing to do with his sexual preference and everything to do with the TV show.  There will obviously be people who will call the Rams and the NFL bigots, but those people would say the same if/when Sam gets cut.  

I am so over this politcial correctness crap. The guy from Miami has to go therapy for stating something on twitter about the Sam kiss that definetely was scripted probably by ESPN or Oprah. Some Mom in N Dakota or some place was offended with the school doing a Village People re-enactment of YMCA because the guy portrayng the Indian was offensive to Indians. . So the school cancelled the event. Where will we all be in another ten years. Probably will have to have twitter or any comment we make filtered by Big Brother somewhere so as not to offend.

I have always thought of it more as Corporate Correctness. Politically-you can say whatever you want---Join the Westboro Baptist Church, march with any sign you want--.but if you say things that are going to take money out of your corporate masters handsâ€Ķ.they are going to crack a mighty whipâ€Ķ.and if you are part of the Spirit Lake Nation in North Dakota---you might not find cartoon characterizations of your ancestors too funny.

I don't believe the mom in N Dakota that stopped a bunch of 1st graders from doing their talent show has any corporate backing or that the event meant any more or less money in the school coffers.  It is to the point now where someone wants their five minutes of fame and will do something no matter how stupid or in some cases evil it is just to get recognized. I am sure she has five more twitter followers than she had before she started her rant about YMCA. But it is rather sad that people are not allowed to watch 1st grade kids sing a song because it is offensive (to one person) but yet the same people are told to embrace two guys swapping spit on a football program. 

And shouldn't the PC thought police be banning "Indian" soon?

 

Crazy evil bastard Columbus gave them that nom de plume. Poor Indians never went to war against anyone. Different tribes always grooved when they got together. To this day if different tribes get on the same school bus, it's all love and kisses.

Ol' Methy going off right on schedule.  It's like looking into the ass hole of Foxnews every time you post.  

 

Here's some learnin' for you to hate.  What you understand about history is actually less than none because you swallow bull**** like it was a 5 course meal.  You are actually a negative knowledge hole.  Essentially, you're some kind of quantum idiot.

 

You cowards that use a phrase like "political correctness" to hide behind just can't handle taking a close look in the mirror, calling a spade a spade or actually have the conviction to think for yourself and defend your opinion with your own sparing wisdom.  You keep letting someone else think for you.  

 

Here's that learnin'.  Ben Franklin, THAT BASTARD LIBRUL!

 

Life in Puritan New England was so hard that children who were abducted by Native Americans often refused to come back. Eunice Williams, abducted in 1704 at age 7, refused to leave the Kahnawake Mohawks despite her father’s pleas — he found she had forgotten the English language and adopted Indian clothing and hairstyle. “She is obstinately resolved to live and dye here,” he wrote, “and will not so much as give me one pleasant look.” The Mohawks were much more indulgent of children than the colonists, and women were counted equal to men and played an integral role in society and politics. Eunice married a Mohawk and lived with him for half a century.

A returned captive named Titus King reported that many young captives responded similarly. “In Six months time they Forsake Father & mother, Forgit thir own Land, Refuess to Speak there own toungue & Seeminly be Holley Swallowed up with the Indians.” In 1753 Ben Franklin wrote:

When an Indian Child has been brought up among us, taught our language and habituated to our Customs, yet if he goes to see his relations and makes one Indian Ramble there is no perswading him ever to return. â€Ķ When white persons of either sex have been taken prisoners young by the Indians, and lived awhile among them, tho’ ransomed by their Friends, and treated with all imaginable tenderness to prevail with them to stay among the English, yet in a Short time they become disgusted with our manner of Life, and the care and pains that are necessary to support it, and take the first good Opportunity of escaping again into the Woods, from whence there is no reclaiming them.

A 14-year-old named James McCullough, who lived with the Indians for eight years, had to be brought back in fetters, his legs tied under his horse’s belly and arms tied behind his back. Even so he escaped and returned to his Indian family. Children “redeemed” by the English often “cried as if they should die when they were presented to us.” The Indians freed children of the work obligations they faced in the colonies — boys hunted, caught fish, and gathered nuts; and girls cultivated corn but had no master “to oversee or drive us, so that we could work as leisurely as we pleased.”
