Dolphins Don Jones suspended for tweeting about Michael Sam

Can you get that to 140 characters or less?

Why?

Not true. Everything in context. A couple girls making out at a drunken frat party, sure. But making out in the middle of the public library or grade school, not so much. I believe him when he says he doesn't want to watch heteros and PDA.

Obviously talking about during the NFL draft. Guys are shown kissing their wife or girlfriend after being drafted every year and it either a. Passes without incident or b. We collectively note how attractive the girl is and what a lucky guy the dude is.

Sure. Like I said, I didn't see it. Don't know if it was a natural reaction, a big exotic make out sesstion or some ESPN/Sam staged media event. I still say it's all context for me. And some people are just uncomfortable with PDA like Warner said. I agree with him that some people are just uncomfortable with PDA.

I've heard what they showed on ESPN was edited (the timing not that he kissed him). I was watching NFLN and didn't even catch when he got drafted, so I don't know for sure what happened.

edit: finally saw it....i can't see why someone thought it was edited. Maybe they meant it was edited to focus too much on showing them eating/playing with cake.

like I said before..Rams had 11 picks, the gay guy played at the college in their same State. No doubt the NFL pressured them to waste a pick just for media purposes. They waited till the last round hoping someone else would draft him LOL but got stuck with it.

its just fascinating how many bizarre pro-gay player angles the sports radio guys have abused today just so they don't look bad. They cant possibly believe half the crap they are spewing. The kid may not even make a team but they try to spin how good he might be bla bla, what a joke. He was a 7th round afterthought. The NFL did this to avoid a lawsuit. He probably wont make it past the second cut. How dumb could he be to not think getting picked in the 7th round isn't a little fishy ?

You legit believing this doesn't make it any less ridiculous or pathetic a conspiracy theory.

What statutes can I use in my lawsuit against the NFL for not drafting some UDFA?

I need to call ramjackson's attorney for help.

OMG! How dare someone kiss their significant others after being drafted to the NFL!

Welcome to the modern age, people. There are gay people in the world beyond the lipstick lesbians you see on Skin-emax. Times are a changing. Jones being suspended will probably get reduced after his sensitivity training and a public apology.

People are all ok with gay people on Modern Family kissing, but if it happens to with a football player, they act like the world is going to end.

I don't mind him kissing his significant other, but it was a little much. Would have been disturbing no matter the sexual orientation.

What in the hell happened to first amendment? If the Dolphins player is against homosexuality he should be allowed to openly express it just as Michael Sam is able to openly express that he is in favor of it.

Also I didn't watch the 7th round but was there anyone else on tv who got picked in the 7th round? If not why was Sam? If he wants to be a football player and not a gay football player, the first step is knowing your role and not accepting things other guys on your level don't get.

These are always the worst arguments. He's not being thrown in jail for committing a crime here.

I am in the camp of "we see this all the time from heterosexual couples, so where is the outrage from that?" I don't think that should have been shown on TV, but if a straight couple had seen that happen, I would say the same thing.

I also think this is being blown out of proportion because this happened to the Dolphins. I believe they suspended Jones solely because they are carrying the fresh black eye from the Incognito things, and saw Pouncey make another questionable tweet as well.

a flabby, liberal, nothingness on the fence statement that commits in no particular direction.

Tahj Boyd was on TV at the end of the 6th round.

He's being fined and suspended...for expressing an opinion
