Hmm. Funny that. As Twitchy reported, openly gay player Michael Sam was released by the St. Louis Rams. A frenzy and dumbassery ensued, natch.
Equality? Not so much.

Michael Sam gets cut from the team and its "Breaking News" and he gets a whole ESPN segment. How is that equality?

Dear ESPN. If you want equality, quit putting Sam on a pedestal. Nothing against him, but he's just a rookie who got cut, like everyone else

Ding, ding, ding!
Self-proclaimed proponents of equality should actually be thrilled.
Proponents of equality should be thrilled that Michael Sam got cut for not being good enough to make the team.

Amen. But, hey, it’s easier to screech and falsely claim victim status than to be honest. Actual equality isn’t good for the grievance mongering trade.
