Shouldn't be a giant deal right. I mean, he's athletic enough to still make it. And being gay isn't a giant deal anymore? Right?

Well, off-the-record, many NFL managers have said that isn't exactly NFL worthy. John Stewart yesterday had a great answer to that (see infographic on right).

Today his father (who left his mother and 8 children when they were young) told the world that he had a problem with his son's gayness. He didn't think kids should be brought up in that lifestyle. Which begs the question, why? Sam Jr. was brought up in a straight lifestyle and is gay. Kids brought up in a "gay lifestyle" (family) are just as likely to be straight as kids from straight families.

Unless of course Sam Sr. thinks the right lifestyle is one where Dad buggers off to leave the mother to raise 8 kids alone many states away. (Sam Sr. said he did do everything right, including taking his boy to Mexico to lose his virginity to a prostitute.)
