I think that Sam should concentrate more on football, so the message won't ber lost in him getting cut, and soon forgotten.

How isn't he?:confused:

Some athletes are able to handle two things at once ... all the interviews, all the non-football press. Others can't. I really hope he can handle both.

The focus should be, "Can he play?" and not on the fact he's gay. Interviews with teammates have mostly reflected that. Total integration for anyone deemed 'different' only happens when we all stop noticing the differences.

You know it isn't him that is putting that all out there, right? I'm sure he just wants to be happy and play football.

Indeed. And I hope he can. It would be sad if some person who can possibly make a few million dollars, set up his family, etc. doesn't get the chance because of all the distractions. He's kind of in a tough situation. If he just ignores everyone so he can concentrate on football, he'll get flack for that. But he really does need to concentrate on football, Making a team is no guarantee, and there is a fine line between making it and not.

They looked like total morons. A simple peck on the cheek or lips would have sufficed and wouldn't have warranted anyone's offense. It could have been considered acceptable. Instead, they exchanged some rather awkward looking smooching... a 2/10 performance at that.

To the viewers that were actually agitated, I understand their plight. It was a tad too erotic. Get a room if you want to do that sort of thing. I think that level of PDA is uncalled for, whether homo or hetero, in public. I know that I wouldn't do that sort of thing because I actually respect the sensibilities of others.

I didn't see a lot of kissing in the video. I saw a lot of hugging. Maybe, there was more to it than what I've seen?

They looked nervous as hell, which, I imagine anyone in that position would be.

Truth be told, if this is inappropriate and/or an overt display of PDA, my husband and I must appear unacceptable in public. We hold hands, hug and kiss all of the time while in public and we don't really give a rat's rear as to what other people think.

How dare you show love and affection towards another human being in front of the insecure and jealous among us! :eek: For shame! :mad:

Would you expect a heterosexual couple to give a peck on the cheek?

They were in their own home, how much more of 'get a room' do you want? :confused:

To me all of this is a tad bit homophobic. No one raises a peep when war veterans come home and lay a long slobbering kiss on their wives/husbands or any other situation surrounding heterosexuals who been filmed in such a manner of expression.....

I'm generally with you on the subject of PDA. But this is very different.

Its more like an interracial couple kissing back in the forties. It is a not so minor victory for basic equality.
