My favorite comment on Michael Sam during NFL draft weekend

I do agree that freedom of speech DOES have consequences by your exercise of it. But what if Michael Sam makes a heterophobic comment on Twitter…will he have to suffer the consequences?

Actual comment written in thread in defense of stupid Dolphins player tweeting stupid thing about Sam during draft. Oh, will someone please end the horrible heterophobia run amok in this society

Right up there with rampant misandry and reverse racism as major ills in our society. Who, oh who, will stand up for the poor, oppressed straight white male?

I hope this is seriously looked at by the admins. I usually can read through these subthreads, this time, I could not.

His name is Shae McClelland. But the Bears drafted him in the first round.

The Bears are stupid.
