In corporate Human Resource classes crisis managers who assist companies deal with Union Action are taught to watch out for job applicants, like Michael Sam, that have alternate agenda other than employment.   The Saint Louis Rams have been duped. 

Obvious to everyone now is the stealth agenda behind mediocre at best Michael Sam.   His agenda was never about football or being an NFL football player.   How is this known? Because every action has been about football “secondary” to his gay advocacy.

The latest revelation about a hidden contract with Oprah Winfrey’s OWN TV, kept secret from scouts and NFL franchises so as not to affect his football draft odds, is just one more point to evidence that regard.

Now, facing sunlight upon the REAL agenda, the TV show is postponed.

Uh, huh.   {{{rolleyes}}}

Oprah Winfrey’s OWN is postponing its Michael Sam docuseries.  The news comes amid reports that the NFL and the St. Louis Rams were unaware of Sam’s docuseries plans and just two days after the Discovery-owned cable network officially green-lighted the reality show. It is unclear when OWN will revisit the project.

“After careful consideration and discussion with the St. Louis Rams, the untitled Michael Sam project has been postponed, allowing Michael the best opportunity to achieve his dream of making the team,” said Erik Logan, president of OWN. “OWN is about elevating and empowering people to achieve their best. It’s clear that we, along with the world, recognize the important opportunity that Michael now has in this moment. We will continue to support him in his journey to earn a spot playing for the Rams.”

“After today’s meeting with the Rams, we collectively feel it is best to postpone the project,” said Sam’s agent Cameron Weiss. “This will allow for Michael to have a total focus on football and will ensure no distractions to his teammates. Everybody involved remains committed to this project and understands its historical importance as well as its positive message.”

The series was supposed to document the journey of the University of Missouri alum, a gay football player who was recently drafted by the Rams, as he prepared to earn a spot on the team.  (continue reading)

Yeah,  good luck Saint Louis in getting rid of this baggage now.  

You’ve drafted a too-short, too-small, for the position outside linebacker, who has ‘average – slow’ speed, and can’t successfully turn the outside corner (lacks leverage) during an NFL pass rush.

Oh, and worse – improving on that averaged stuff is not his actual priority……. though he’ll talk a good lie……   AND because of your political correctness you’re stuck with him….

…. Any decently managed team with an ounce of integrity, and/or a commitment to team cohesion, would have cut Sam as soon as his handlers came forth with the whole story about how they intentionally didn’t tell you “you just recruited a TV reality show”.
