Michael Sam Cut from Practice Squad
Michael Sam is out of a job again.
The Dallas Cowboys waived the rookie end off their practice squad Tuesday and signed linebacker Troy Davis.
Sam, the first openly gay player drafted by an NFL team, was waived in the final round of cuts by the St. Louis Rams in August and was available for several days before the Cowboys picked him up.

Michael Sam is cut-
Super cut!
...from practice squad.
Oh.
I love when his defenders throw the line "but he was the SEC Defensive Player of the Year!" out there.
News flash geniuses: winning college awards doesn't necessarily mean that a guy can cut it in the NFL. Ask Tim Tebow.
Oh, good. Now we'll all get to hear about it when the first openly gay man in the NFL actually gets some playing time and/or starts. My money is that the novelty/favoritism bias will still exist and he'll drop six passes or run for an average of -2 yds.
Tune in next time for;
"This is history in the making!"
or
"Who is Micheal Sam again?"
THE NFL IS A BUNCH OF RACISTS ANYWAY
