Paralyzed Athlete Becomes NFL Player!

Devon Walker is now a New Orleans Saint.

Paralyzed athlete Devon Walker got an opportunity to be a NFL player. In a symbolic move, the former safety from Tulane University was honored to be a part of the NFC South team.

Newser reports Devon Walker had a pretty big day yesterday, graduating Tulane University within hours of landing an NFL contract with the New Orleans Saints. Adding to Walker's feat: He's wheelchair bound and uses a ventilator, after having been paralyzed from the neck down in a 2012 on-field collision. That devastating accident doesn't appear to have slowed the former safety down much: As ESPN reports, Walker has fashioned himself into an inspiration and leader for Tulane's Green Wave.

"I didn't have to do any pregame speeches at home because he did them all," says Tulane coach Curtis Johnson, a former Saints coach. "He policed the locker room. This kid deserves it all. He's very inspirational. Man, I love the kid." Saints coach Sean Payton says Walker has been "an inspiration to our region, to our community, New Orleans, the Tulane family, and it's carried over to us on the Saints." Walker, a Louisiana native, is no less effusive, saying, "I've been a Saint since before I was walking. Just to be a part of this team, just to be around the players is more than I could have hoped."

Life Sweet Entropy: Interracial Love - A Response to All the Naysayers...

Life Sweet Entropy: Interracial Love - A Response to All the Naysayers...:    So I’ve taken a loooonnnggg hiatus from posting on my blog. Not sure why. But, an article from a certain C. Haywood brought me b...

B.I.B.: Is Disney promoting Dominate/Subservient relations...

B.I.B.: Is Disney promoting Dominate/Subservient relations...: ABC/Disney Does Not Promote Interracial Relationships, But Dominate/Subservient Relationships ed   June 29, 2013


For several decades, ABC/Disney has knowingly promoted a racist propaganda on their media channels and continue to do so with a sense of impunity. Over and over, ABC/Disney have been promoting the media image of a White male in a relationship with a woman of color and this is a racist media practice known as “grooming”. In this article we are going to explain the practice of grooming, how ABC/Disney practice it and our initiative to bring what ABC/Disney is doing to light and how to confront ABC/Disney on this racist media practice.
What Is Grooming?
The overall goal of grooming is to perform passive genocide through propaganda with the sinister goal of breeding out the minority race within a few generations. In fact, this was part of the Native American assimilation process by Americans during the early 1900s and late 1800s by Whites marrying Native American women and devalue the Native American male – this is real and documented. So we know and it is established that this grooming is a real practice rooted in genocide propaganda and is a racist act. In fact, we are seeing new strands of “assimilation” talk leveraged towards the growing Hispanic and Asian base and creating strategies to see how to apply White male dominance to Hispanic, Indian and Asian women in media programming.
I will be honest, I do not know what ABC/Disney agenda is and what the hell are they thinking because it stupid and ineffective. The best theory I heard is ABC/Disney want to show and reinforce a racist narrative of dominance by White men over women of color here in America. Noticed the goal is not to show Martin Luther King, Jr vision of Black boys and White girls holding hands saying free at last – the goal of ABC/Disney is to show a racist image of a White male having his way with a woman of color who is part of a minority race in his country.

Texas Cop Fired For Brutal Killing Of 93 Year Old Woman!

Pearlie Golden (right) was killed last week after an officer told her to drop her firearm. The city of Hearne wants the officer who fired the shot removed off the force.

In the great state of Texas, a law officer is off the job after he was involved in a shooting that killed a 93-year old grandmother. The officer vows to fight his termination.

The NAACP and those in the community hope that Stephen Stem is permanently off the force. He had a history of opening fire on residents. In particular, Black residents.

Stern, a police officer from Hearne killed Pearlie Golden after numerous attempts to disarm the woman.

The woman shot into the ground twice after she got into a domestic dispute with family members after she lost her driver's license during a failed exam.

The Eagle which serves Bryan and College Station, TX reports that Roy Jones, Golden's great-nephew, was the one who called 911 after Golden brandished a gun. His sister, Theresa Jones, who lives in Bryan and was not present at Tuesday's shooting, said her older brother was shaken up by the experience and was not available for comment on Friday. She described Jones as Golden's "right-hand man," saying he had long helped care for their aunt.
Stephen Stern told the city of Hearne that he did nothing wrong and the firing was unjust. He will take them to court.
Roy Jones told his sister that he had taken their elderly aunt to the Department of Motor Vehicles on Monday to renew her driver's license, but the renewal was rejected. Theresa Jones said the family knew Golden was getting too old to be driving, but their aunt took the news hard since she lived alone and valued her independence.

"He would drive her if she needed to go to Bryan, but she drove herself around Hearne," Theresa Jones said.

Theresa Jones said her brother and Golden got in an argument when he refused to give her the keys to her car on Tuesday. At that point, Ray Jones told his sister, Golden grabbed a gun, which had belonged to her late husband.
Residents pack Hearne city hall.
Roy Jones told his sister that he then ran around the side of the house to call 911, hoping the aid of officials trained in defusing situations could calm her down.

Jones said her aunt was well-loved and had had no previous problems with the law, and that the family had never needed to call the police on her before. Since she was not there, she did not know if Golden fired any shots before the police arrived.

When officers arrived, Jones said, her brother saw Golden fire two shots into the ground. After disobeying
Officer Stephen Stem's orders to put her weapon down, she was fired on four times and struck twice. She was taken to St. Joseph Hospital, where she died later Tuesday evening.

Theresa Jones said Golden was not violent and was probably trying to defend herself and be left alone.

Robertson County District Attorney Coty Siegert could not confirm any evidence existed indicating Golden had fired her weapon, but said it was too early in the investigation to rule out the possibility.

Siegert said the firearm was sent to a forensic lab for ballistics testing as part of the process of determining if the elderly woman did shoot her gun.

Theresa Jones said she believes Stem did not need to shoot Golden and should've handled the situation differently.

"They could've shot in the area to scare her or something. They didn't have to shoot her," she said.

She said Roy Jones, who lives in Hearne, was very close to his great-aunt. He would take off work to drive her to doctors' appointments and recently took her fishing, a pastime she loved, but which had become increasingly difficult with her advanced age.

Theresa Jones declined to give the age of her brother, but said he has been talking with Texas Rangers, who are investigating the shooting.

CNN reports that Stern's attorney Robert McCabe is vowing to fight this termination.
Hearne police are dealing with a public relations problem.
"The knee-jerk reaction to terminate Mr. Stem was not about whether Ms. Golden chose to create and perpetuate a life-threatening situation. That is a clear and indisputable fact.

"Rather, the city's decision was about appeasing certain members of the community who want to make this case about Ms. Golden's age, the fact she is African-American, or the fact she is a woman.

"None of those factors played a role in Stem's decision to use deadly force," Robert McCabe, Stem's attorney, said in a statement Sunday.

His comments come as Texas Rangers continue an investigation into why Pearlie Golden, a longtime resident in this small town of about 4,600 people between Dallas and Houston, was shot multiple times at her home Tuesday.

A man believed to be a relative of Golden's made a 911 call asking for help from police, Robertson County District Attorney Coty Siegert said.

"What I understand is (Hearne police) were called out because a woman was brandishing a firearm," Siegert said.

"An officer asked her to put the handgun down, and when she would not, shots were fired."

Hearne City Attorney Bryan Russ Jr. said Stem told Golden to drop her weapon at least three times.

"Police not only have a duty to protect themselves from imminent harm, but also innocent citizens who rely on them 'to protect and serve,' " Stem's attorney said in his statement.

The case eventually will be presented to a grand jury, which is standard procedure when dealing with officer-involved incidents, according to Russ, the city attorney.

"I would expect people to be upset about this, a young police officer shooting a 93-year-old lady," Russ said. "I'm upset about it. Most of our citizens are upset, but at the same time, I don't believe all the facts have come to the surface yet."

Ann Coulter Mocks #BringBackOurGirls!

Some here in the United States are reacting to this in a not so nice way.

What a cruel and heartless woman. This conservative agitator thought it was funny calling the president a "retard" back in 2012.

Now after the international condemnation of Boko Haram's kidnapping of 300 schoolgirls sparked a hashtag revolution, the crude conservative agitator decides to mock it.




This sparked a bit controversy.

E! News reports that the conservative agitator's attempt at humor was poorly received, as dozens of memes proves. After all, First Lady Michelle Obama and Academy Award winner Anne Hathaway are among the thousands who have been championing the #BringBackOurGirls cause, which was created earlier this month to draw support for the missing schoolgirls in Nigeria. Since Coulter published her picture, it's been retweeted more than 2,000 times.

Most have mocked her for being insensitive and a buffoon for even going there.

"BRING BACK OUR COUNTRY!" - What's that suppose to mean?







Mark Steyn also took to the social networks to mock it too.


Magic Johnson: Sterling Doesn't Have A Soul!

Magic Johnson reacts to NBA owner's attack upon him. The interview was done by Anderson Cooper.

The legendary NBA star and business mogul speaks to Anderson Cooper after his highly anticipated interview with Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling.

Erwin "Magic" Johnson was diagnosed with HIV in 1992 and decided to retire from basketball.

Sterling not one to shut the fuck up takes a shot at the mogul for not doing enough for the Black community.

One thing was clear, Magic wasn't happy about the Sterling interview.

"It's sad. It really is. I'm going to pray for this ... man," Johnson told CNN's Anderson Cooper in an exclusive interview.

Sterling's explosive CNN interview that aired Monday night was the first time he had spoken publicly since audio recordings surfaced last month of him making racist remarks.



Johnson told Cooper he is still waiting for an apology from Sterling for getting roped into Sterling's fight with Stiviano, and Johnson called the Monday interview -- in which Sterling directed another tirade at the NBA legend -- "disturbing."

"What's really sad is, it's not about me," Johnson said. "This is about the woman you love outing you and taping you and putting your conversation out here for everybody to know. ... This is between you two, but then he wants to include me."

Johnson said he had only met with Sterling three or four times, and most of those discussions had focused on basketball. Johnson couldn't say if the Clippers owner has slipped mentally.

Johnson told CNN, Sterling called him recently and asked him to appear alongside him in an interview with ABC's Barbara Walters.

"I said the number one thing you need to do which you haven't done is apologize to everybody, and myself," Johnson said. "(Sterling replied) 'I'll get to that. I'll get to that.'"
NBA owner tells Cooper that Black folks don't look out for one another.
The former NBA star told Sterling that the billionaire businessman needed to consult with attorneys, stressing that the controversy was bigger than Sterling realized.

Johnson said Sterling was adamant about Johnson doing the interview, even reaching out a second time.

Johnson said his attorneys advised him not to have any further conversations with the embattled owner.

Sterling never did the interview with Walters.

"I'm really disturbed by the fact that when he called me he should have said, 'Magic, I'm sorry,'" Johnson said.

The rest of this story appears on CNN's official website from Anderson Cooper 360.

Take discretion in viewing these videos. Some of the comments from Sterling could be viewed as offensive.



Solange Knowles Attacks Jay-Z!

Solange (right) gets into a fight with Jay-Z.

The media was lit up over the conflict that happened over the weekend. Media mogul Shawn Carter, known as Jay-Z gets attacked by his wife's little sister.

This is the talk of the nation.

Solange, the younger sister of Beyonce Knowles-Carter, was in an elevator with the couple.

In a moment, you would see Solange Knowles attacking Jay-Z after they walk into an elevator.

According to sources, a recording deal fell through and the entertainer was totally pissed at Jay-Z. They were spotted in New York when two of Solange's friends weren't on the guest list got through security.

The Pictures Of Fear!

The Nigerian extremist group claims they've held hostage 300 girls and women. They threaten to kill or sell them into sex slavery.

The junk food media has made Boko Haram a household name. The Nigerian extremist group with known ties to terrorism has been linked to the kidnapping of schoolgirls in a small rural village outside of Chibok.

The government aided by international forces must search about 1500 miles of land to find these hostages.

From Abuja to Washington, DC, the American people have shown compassion towards this.

The international community condemns this situation.

The students are being forced into Islam and into marriage with members of Boko Haram, with a reputed "bride price" of ₦2,000 each ($12.50/£7.50).

Many of the students were taken to the neighboring countries of Chad and Cameroon, with sightings reported of the students crossing borders with the militants, and sightings of the students by villagers living in the Sambisa Forest.

The forest is considered a refuge for Boko Haram. Local residents have been able to track the movements of the students with the help of contacts across north eastern Nigeria.

On May 2, the police said they were still unclear as to the exact number of students who were kidnapped. They asked parents to provide documents so an official count could be made since school records were damaged in the attack.

On May 4, the Nigerian President, Goodluck Jonathan, spoke publicly about the kidnapping for the first time, saying the government was doing everything it could to find the missing girls.

At the same time, he blamed parents for not supplying enough information about their missing children to the police.

On May 5, a video in which Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau claimed responsibility for the kidnappings emerged. Shekau claimed that "Allah instructed me to sell them...I will carry out his instructions." and "Slavery is allowed in my religion, and I shall capture people and make them slaves."

He said the girls should not have been in the school and instead they should be married since girls as young as nine are suitable for marriage.

Following the kidnapping incident, Boko Haram again abducted eight girls aged between 12–15 from northeast Nigeria.

At least 300 residents of the nearby town of Gamboru Ngala were killed in an attack by Boko Haram militants after Nigerian security forces had left the town to search for the kidnapped students.

On May 10, former Boko Haram negotiator, Shehu Sani stated that the group wanted to swap the abducted girls for its jailed members.

On May 11, Kashim Shettima, Governor of Borno State in Nigeria, said that he has sighted the abducted girls and that the girls were not taken across the borders of Cameroon or Chad.

On May 12, Boko Haram released a video showing about 130 kidnapped Girls clad in Burqah while it demanded prisoner exchange.

Developments continue as this story is covered here and through sources such as the Associated Press, Wikipedia and CNN.

The Kiss That Pissed Off A Dolphin Player!

Michael Sam kisses his boyfriend and the world reacts.

The NFL has signed openly gay player Michael Sam to the St. Louis Rams (NFC).

He made history that day.

There was a moment where Sam would kiss his boyfriend after he got the news.

Some thought of the kiss as a victory for LGBT in the sports industry. Others thought of it as disgusting and a terrible day for football.

The (AFC) Miami Dolphins player Don Jones is being benched after he made an inappropriate tweets in spite of the Donald Sterling scandal and the scandal involving his former teammate Richie Incognito was sacked after taunting Jonathan Martin.
Don Jones was fined and benched after he posted nasty comments on the reaction from Michael Sam.
Don Jones made an inappropriate tweet following the draft of Michael Sam, allegedly deeming it "horrible" and was promptly fined by the NFL and suspended from team activities. He was then required to undergo training related to workplace harassment.

The 23-year old safety was fined a reasonable amount of money for that.

The Associated Press reports that Jones had apologized for his comments Sunday and described them as inappropriate. The Dolphins said Jones has been excused from all team activities until he completes training related to his comments.

"We were disappointed to read Don's tweets," coach Joe Philbin said in a statement. "They were inappropriate and unacceptable, and we regret the negative impact these comments had on such an important weekend for the NFL. We met with Don today about respect, discrimination and judgment. These comments are not consistent with the values and standards of our program."

The Dolphins reacted swiftly to Jones' comments in the wake of the team's bullying scandal last year, which embarrassed the NFL and prompted a nationwide debate about workplace harassment.

Jones said he regretted that his tweets took away from Sam's "draft moment."
Sam and Jones will face each other eventually.
"I remember last year when I was drafted in the seventh round, and all of the emotions and happiness I felt when I received the call that gave me an opportunity to play for an NFL team, and I wish him all the best in his NFL career," Jones said in a statement. "I am committed to represent the values of the Miami Dolphins organization, and appreciate the opportunity I have been given to do so going forward."

Jones' agent, Chris Martin, could not be reached Sunday for comment.

Jones had protected his Twitter page after I guess he got his share of death threats and responses from those who were offended by his tweets.

Sterling: That [B****] Set Me Up! I'm Not A Racist!

He speaks....

The NBA owner of the Los Angeles Clippers finally decides to speak. He was better being silent.

Of course, he spark more controversy by even speaking out against the mistress and those who he thought were his friends. Yet, he doesn't speak about people. Oh, he's got a lot to talk about, don't he?

Anderson Cooper of CNN got an exclusive interview with Donald Sterling. Sterling was recently banned for life from all NBA games and his own team.

He talks to Cooper stating that those "words weren't in his heart" and his mistress "set him up".

"When I listen to that tape, I don't even know how I can say words like that. ... I don't know why the girl had me say those things," he told CNN's Anderson Cooper in an exclusive interview set to air on Monday.

"You're saying you were set up?" Cooper asked.

"Well yes, I was baited," Sterling said. "I mean, that's not the way I talk. I don't talk about people for one thing, ever. I talk about ideas and other things. I don't talk about people."

Cooper asked "Why did it take so long for you to speak out ?"

"I'm not a racist," Sterling told Cooper. "I made a terrible, terrible mistake. And I'm here with you today to apologize and to ask for forgiveness for all the people that I've hurt."

"The reason it's hard for me, very hard for me, is that I'm wrong. I caused the problem. I don't know how to correct it," he said.

He lashed out at Erwin "Magic" Johnson for being a hypocrite. He claims that Johnson doesn't do enough for the Black community himself and Sterling has tried to contact him.

"I'm a good member who made a mistake and I'm apologizing and I'm asking for forgiveness," he said. "Am I entitled to one mistake, am I after 35 years? I mean, I love my league, I love my partners. Am I entitled to one mistake? It's a terrible mistake, and I'll never do it again."

Sterling and his wife Shelley are feuding over the rights of the team. The NBA wants to force them both off the team after it was revealed that Sterling made racist comments to V. Stiviano about her associating with Black people.

Sterling and his wife were litigants to a civil lawsuit involving discrimination some of their properties.

Do you forgive this man?

Limbaugh Piss Parade On #BringBackOurGirls!

The big asshole on the racist right is obsessed like his Republican brethren on Benghazi. He and the racist right can't stand the president and the first lady. No matter what they do, he'll piss parade on it.

The conservative agitator pissed that First Lady Michelle Obama sent a tweet and expressing her outrage to Boko Haram's callous kidnapping of young schoolgirls.

The First Lady went to Twitter.




The terrorist group massacred school teachers and the kidnapped young girls.

The leader is promising that these young girls will be sold into sex slavery.

Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has ordered the Nigerian military to go after the extremists. He also applaud the U.S., Britain and Franch intelligence authorities for getting involved.

The racist right is all upset over the selfie by the First Lady's posting on the social networks.

Well lets first start with this conservative asshole.
That asshole said that the low-information universe -- will say, "Oh, Mrs. Obama! At least they care, and at least they're trying to do something."
He went to radio last week to declare that it was pathetic for people to use the hastag .

I can't believe this. We are one of the few people talking about the 300 or more Nigerian girls kidnapped by Boko Haram, which, when I hear that name I think of A Whiter Shade of Pale, Procol Harum.  That's not who it is. This is a terrorist bunch. Hillary's State Department refused to designate them a terrorist bunch.

From The Daily Beast: "Hillary’s State Department Refused to Brand Boko Haram as Terrorists -- Under Hillary Clinton, the State Department repeatedly declined to fully go after the terror group responsible for kidnapping hundreds of girls." And that means they are what?  They're African.  They're black.  It's a strange article to see in The Daily Beast. You think maybe The Daily Caller or Breitbart, but this is in The Daily Beast.

On the activism of First Lady Michelle Obama.

Like the guy at Mozilla, Condi Rice at Rutgers, things like that, and it's all made possible by [President Barack and First Lady Michelle] Obama. Every bit of it. And he cites a specific -- it's all emanating from universities, and he cites a specific compromise ruling at a specific university involving Title IX that sent the signal to every university in the country that they are free to engage in this fascistic behavior. So that's coming up, too.

But this picture is of the first lady. It's about what Boko Haram did, and it is a plea to try to get the kidnapped girls returned.  This is Mrs. Obama in the diplomatic reception room in the White House. I've been there many times. It's one of those popular entrances used for diplomats, guests, friends, and so forth. 

You go through the diplomatic reception room, take a left, and there's the elevator to the residence.  It's real close there. It's where Obama comes out and gets in the helicopter, all the presidents do.  That's the diplomatic reception room, most cases. That's where the picture is taken, looks like. 

I just think this is pathetic. I'm just stunned. We got 300 Nigerian girls kidnapped by an Al-Qaeda group, and nobody cared or talked about it for a while. Hillary wouldn't call 'em a terror group. 

Now, all of a sudden, for some reason, we're on a big push to get 'em back and this is how...? Well, you can't read the writing. It's a plea for people on Twitter to get in gear and bring the girls back.  It's #BringBackOurGirls.

 Apparently there's a Twitter... What do you call 'em, handle?  It's the number sign
"BringBackOurGirls." It's a hashtag, okay.

Anyway, there's Mrs. Obama looking sad and grim, and the sad thing here is that the low-information crowd that's puddling around out there on Twitter is gonna think we're actually doing something about it. 

Is that not pathetic?  What the hell message does that send? Imagine if bin Laden were still alive. Imagine Ayman al-Zawahiri. Can you imagine? They're laughing at this over in the huts and so forth wherever they are.  It is just unbelievable.  #BringBackOurGirls. They're Nigerian, unless there's something that we don't know.

But are we really this powerless?  The correct way to look at this is the audience that will see it -- the Twitter, low-information universe -- will say, "Oh, Mrs. Obama! At least they care, and at least they're trying to do something."  If somebody -- sadly, unfortunately -- had a family member kidnapped, this is might be what they would do, right?



National Screwview went to task. This glorified b----, Christine Sisto wrote that [everyone] can breathe a sigh of relief. Our girls will be returned because Michelle Obama has tweeted a picture of herself looking sad and holding a sign.

This b---- added, how does the United States react to this terrible neglect of human rights, brought about by a group that is evil personified?
Christine Sisto
National Screwview writer Christine Soto claims that First Lady Michelle Obama's activism is pathetic.
“Holding up a sign that says something profound while looking solemn” is a popular trend in the Twitter-verse, especially on websites like The Huffington Post and BuzzFeed that specialize in “Click here!” journalism. The content tends to be short, often written in a “listicle” format. It features some kind of schmaltzy human-interest story or liberal political message, and the headlines often claim that the content of the article is “hauntingly beautiful” or “powerful” or will “take your breath away” or “make your day.”

If [First Lady] Michelle Obama had held up that sign and then scheduled a trip to Nigeria, or spoken to the families of the kidnapped students, or met with President [Goodluck] Jonathan, urging him to take action, or donated some of her personal money to a Nigerian non-profit,  her gesture might have been credible.

Okay, b----!

As you probably Google yourself to find out who's talking shit about you, listen here!

Here's what you and your racist right friends would do next!

You will say that First Lady Michelle Obama (by the way) would spend taxpayer money to travel over to Nigeria to say a speech about nothing. You would say that she would take vacations.

You can't be satisfied!

You and that asshole on radio are so fucking lucky. You live in country that gives you the freedom to piss parade on every attempt to do something good. Just like your , the American people feel very concerned about these young girls.

The world has condemn this horrible event. I know you and that conservative asshole do have some sympathy towards this event. But to turn every freaking thing like this into politics, you people are pathetic.

Pope Francis even went to the social networks to show solidarity.




Are you going to complain about Pope Francis jumping into the campaign?

The Republican Party and its allies of the racist right have created so many controversies, President Barack Obama's allies can't stop them all at once.

Republicans aren't capable of fixing the economic turmoils. Although the Republicans do share at least some of the sympathy for this event, they really have no compassion for these young girls.

This is a part of the ongoing culture war that continues to tear the party and America apart. No longer I will sit here and watch this stuff continue.

As long as I am alive, I hope the best for those young girls. They didn't deserve this type of fate.

I will continue to stand independent of the situation and offer my honest opinion of issues that matter.

Michael Sam Got The Call!

Michael Sam will play for....

The possibility of the first openly gay football star being picked is......happening!

Many figured that the former MIZZOU star was going to be the first in history.

Michael Sam will be closer to his alma mater. He will be a member of the St. Louis Rams.

That Guy Who Throws Shit To The Wall sound the alarm that the openly gay football star will be a part of a NFL team. The real reason for this is basically the conservative agitator calling the St. Louis Ram (last place in the NFC West division) a bunch of pussies.





The siren went off today confirming that Sam was the 249th pick in the seventh round of the 2014 NFL Draft.

Sam was a consensus All-American and the Southeastern Conference Defensive Player of the Year as a senior at Missouri.

Sam came out as gay in media interviews earlier this year. His team and coaches knew his secret and kept it for his final college season.

“I looked in their eyes, and they just started shaking their heads — like, finally, he came out,” Sam told The New York Times earlier this year — the first time he had spoken publicly about his sexual orientation.

Tension mounted throughout the day whether or not Sam would get drafted. Sam was the 249th out of 256 picks in the draft.



According to STATS, there were 530 undrafted free agents on NFL rosters during week 17 of last season.

There was a total of 404 players on rosters who had been drafted in rounds five through seven, though the pool of undrafted players from year to year is much larger than those drafted in those three rounds.

Sam has said he wants to be evaluated solely on his athletic ability and NFL executives and coaches, all the way up to Commissioner Roger Goodell, have said publicly that will be the case.

Goodell told ESPN that he wants to see Sam succeed in the league.

“I want to see Michael Sam get an opportunity to play in the NFL,” Goodell told ESPN Thursday before the first round of the NFL Draft. “We like to say the NFL is the ultimate meritocracy. If you can play football, they want to see you play. The teams want you. The fans want you. And that’s ultimately what it’s all about.”

Goodell continued: “I have great respect for Michael, his courage, his decision to become public, and I’m optimistic that he’s going to get that opportunity, and hopefully he can play at this level.”
