Chris Morgan’s latest Sports & Equality Column is now live on Gay Star News …<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s some extracts from the article …<\/p>\n

“In my previous GSN column I asked if the NFL were being homophobic in its treatment towards Michael Sam”? \u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

“This was directly after he had been cut from the St Louis Rams and was just about to be been picked up by the Dallas Cowboys to be part of their practice squad.\u00a0 At the time it was quite apparent that this was not a good position for Michael to find himself in, so for him now to have been cut from his second team in only a matter of weeks it leaves some serious questions to be answered”?<\/em><\/p>\n

“To say this is damaging for his career is an understatement, as being dropped twice could be taken by other NFL franchises as a reflection of his inability to secure himself a place. But hold on one minute here? This is a player that was one the most talented defensive linesman of his year in college football and only a few months ago was knocking down opponents as if they didn\u2019t deserve to be on the same pitch”.<\/em><\/p>\n

“I can\u2019t help wondering if this is the NFL\u2019s way of saying after that famous \u201cGay Kiss\u201d on NFL Draft day with his boyfriend that Michael Sam doesn\u2019t deserve to be on the same pitch”? \u2026<\/em><\/p>\n
