Rookie defensive end Michael Sam was cut by the St. Louis Rams on Saturday, ESPN reported. A league source told the sports network that the team hopes to bring Sam back on their practice squad.
Sam may still be picked up by another team.
ESPN was recently criticized for reporting on whether Sam showered around his teammates as part of a segment on how the rookie was fitting in with the team. The sports network later said it "regrets" that discussion.

this is more mud thrown on the American mantle by so called Americans,  professionals should act as such or not relieve the pay and ad contracts as long as Sam is HIV free than they should act like it is and not deny him while by making the team owner and staff and most of all fellow players look like the bigots they are portraying now.  i think he might go for private test to satisfy staff so they can calm the homophones on their team of bigots.
as a Black man i understand discrimination but no one is getting paid while in the same room with me.  professional is all inclusive.
