If he was really good he'd be playing now on an NFL team. End of story.
And yes, the Rams Drafting Sam as a favor to the NFL, IS a conspiracy theory.
Newsflash: There's a lot of players from his draft class (read: absolutely all of them, every single one) that currently aren't on NFL teams, including every first-round pick. I guess they aren't really good either.
And if you're admitting it's a conspiracy theory, then it's not dictated by FACTS. Cold. Fucking. Hard. FACTS. I have every right to disregard any kind of wild conspiracy theories because the fact of the matter is, it never fucking happened except in your own head. It never happened. Kroenke didn't do the league a solid because it never happened. Kroenke never forced Fisher and Snead to draft Sam because it never happened. Sam was not drafted because he was openly gay and they wanted to virtue signal because - again, and I don't know how many times I have to tell you, even in italics and Caps before you get it - IT. NEVER. HAPPENED.
He was drafted because he was a highly-rated prospect who sank to the seventh-round, nothing more, nothing less. That he was gay had nothing to do with his selection.
