Jettington Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Bill Polian commenting on gay acceptance is the most bizarre piece of draft coverage I've ever seen. More bizarre than ESPN broadcasting from a gay sports bar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jettington Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 we just had 45 minutes + on this story can we just call it covered now ? It's only just begun. Get ready for reports on Sam's first day at the facility, Sam's first press conference, Sam's first workouts, Sam's first training camp, Sam's pre-season games, Sam this, Sam that. One of the most annoying things about modern sports media is that they aren't content just to cover sports, whether it was Tebowmania, Manzielmania, or now Samania they traffic in creating and sustaining drama and to the average fan it is annoying to no end.

Integrity28 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 ESPN / NFLN Shameless exploitation going on right now. Sam asks to be judged on his football ability. Gets drafted. Content rollout as if they've been crafting segments on this for weeks. None of it is about his football ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Content rollout as if they've been crafting segments on this for weeks. None of it is about his football ability. ESPN went over the edge when they decided to broadcast draft coverage from a gay sports bar in LA showing a man wearing a floral crown wave his arms wildly in celebration as Sam was drafted. Does this not strike anyone as incredibly gratuitous and indulging in stereotype, something Sam would likely not have wanted? This seems similar to broadcasting the drafting of a first black player from a popeyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flgreen Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 sexual orientation, preference, whatever should not have anything to do with pro sports I couldn't care less Your right.

slats Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I'm a Jeff Fisher fan, I think he'll handle this whole thing well. Best thing he can do is let Sam have his press conference, then declare him off limits - or at least no more accessible than any other late round pick on the team. He should push the media away, and instruct Sam to do the same. I hope the kid succeeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larz Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Can we start a thread with black (attempts at) jokes? yeah, that's relevant. outside the lines did a segment on an australian rules football player who came out. previously he was a madman with the reputation for extreme toughness. in his own words, that was misplaced anger for living a lie. after he came out, he came to practice and the guys started cracking jokes about bending over in the shower it broke the ice and let him know he was accepted and he was laughing. he is so free now he is an ice dancer spare us the high horse act Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
