ESPN is now reporting on how often Michael Sam showers with teammates

The St. Louis Rams' Michael Sam sleeps with and has feelings for men. He's gay. Though the U.S. is as gay-friendly as ever, there are still some people who don't grasp this concept.

Enter ESPN's SportsCenter, which is reporting on how Michael Sam is fitting in with his team. Because Sam is a gay man, this means reporting on which teammates are okay with showering in the same room as him, how often he showers, and whether or not he is creeping on his teammates.

ESPN's Josina Anderson reported:

Another Rams defensive player told me that "Sam is respecting our space" and that, from his perspective, he seems to think that Michael Sam is waiting to kind of take a shower, as not to make his teammates feel uncomfortable.

No other 2014 NFL rookies have been asked about their showering habits.

If you've ever taken a shower in a gym, chances are you've showered near a gay guy. People who piss in the shower? Yeah, those are the assholes we should be discriminating.

That's missing the point. If Long says this is no big deal but refuses to do it himself, he's a blatant hypocrite

Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, I apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them cracks and splinters. That is the "loser," and I eat the inferior one immediately. The winner gets to go another round.

I have found that, in general, the brown and red M&Ms are tougher, and the newer blue ones are genetically inferior. I have hypothesized that the blue M&Ms as a race cannot survive long in the intense theater of competition that is the modern candy and snack-food world.

Occasionally I will get a mutation, a candy that is misshapen, or pointier, or flatter than the rest. Almost invariably this proves to be a weakness, but on very rare occasions it gives the candy extra strength. In this way, the species continues to adapt to its environment.

When I reach the end of the pack, I am left with one M&M, the strongest of the herd. Since it would make no sense to eat this one as well, I pack it neatly in an envelope and send it to M&M Mars, A Division of Mars, Inc., Hackettstown, NJ 17840-1503 U.S.A., along with a 3x5 card reading, "Please use this M&M for breeding purposes."

This week they wrote back to thank me, and sent me a coupon for a free 1/2 pound bag of plain M&Ms. I consider this "grant money." I have set aside the weekend for a grand tournament. From a field of hundreds, we will discover the True Champion.

There can be only one."

This post is not getting enough attention. I'm not sure who this Iconic is, but this is one of the best posts I've read on CP.

He used quotation marks. He wasn't trying to pull a fast one.

Ha.

Never would've read that until you quoted it. Glad I did.

No he's not. I don't have a problem with people who rub feces on their upper lip, it doesn't mean I have to do it.

That's not a fair analogy.

If you want to equate to what Long is saying, you need to rephrase like this:

"I don't have a problem with people who rub feces on their upper lip, it doesn't mean I want to drink from the water fountain after them."

pretty sure 300 lb athletic freaks aren't afraid of showering with a gay man

if anyone is really so homophobic they won't shower with a gay teammate because they are afraid of said gay teammate checking them out...that person has some serious issues that probably need to be addressed anyways

What did Long say, exactly?

Homophobia is an invention. There's a difference between having disgust/being revolted by homosexuality and being afraid of it.

That'd be like talking down to Royals Fan for not poor attendance and not attending the games yourself.

I didn't notice that. Don't care, thought it was funny anyway.

I'll shower butt to butt with a gay dude in my own personal shower...as long as we get equal time underneath the spout.

That should be the next viral charity challenge...
