The Dallas Cowboys have signed defensive end Michael Sam, the first openly gay player to be drafted in the National Football League, to their practice squad.
It’s official. Michael Sam has been signed to the Cowboys practice squad and will be at practice this morning

Sam had been cut last week by the St. Louis Rams, the team that drafted him in the seventh round of this year’s NFL draft.
In Texas of all places?
That’s fantastic for Sam!
GAY COWBOY! YES YES YES!
Fabulous.
Sounds like the setup for an independent film.

This is bad news for me. I HATE the Cowboys, and always will as long as Jerry Jones owns them.
If Sam ever gets into the lineup, I would have to root for them on whichever plays he is involved in. It’s a conundrum, conundrum I say.
