What a complete douchenozzle. Look at these statements:
"I am not the only gay person in the NFL. I'm just saying there is a lot of us. I respect the players that did reach out to me and had the courage to tell me that they were also gay, but they do not have the same courage as I do to come out before I even played a down."
Yes, Michael was soooo brave to come out BEFORE the draft whereas others didnt. Here's a concept, he came out before the draft BECAUSE he needed extra attention to get a shot whereas others let their on-field play dictate their NFL prospects instead of relying on sympathy and political correctness.
"Hopefully I'm not being discriminated [against] because I'm gay, I don't believe that I'm being discriminated [against] because I'm gay. I just want to know if I'm truly not in the NFL, it's because of talent. Let it be because of my talents. But you've got to prove that I can't play this game. If you look at the film, clearly I can. So, I'll leave it at that..."
What hypocrisy. He doesn't believe he was cut because he's gay. Then 2 sentences later he states that as the EXACT reason he isnt playing. And whats with 'this 'nfl has to prove I cant play' crapola??? No azzbag, YOU have to prove you CAN play in the league, not the other way around. And running a 5.01 40 time after stinking it up on multiple offseason rosters aint doing it.
I wish this moron would just STFU and go away.

and move on. He was good enough to get a scholarship to a school in the elite SEC and be drafted by an NFL team. That's a hell of a lot more than some of us have accomplished as an athlete.
