What kind of shit-ass team can't handle the "distraction" of some people *hoping* that a borderline player makes the cut. Holy fuck nuts, if your team can't handle that kind of SEARING INTENSITY, you're already properly fucked out of the gate.

Nope. No other stories about cut players... Only Michael Sam got a story.

LOL The ol' reverse psychology bit. A racism classic!

He deserves to be treated like a child for understanding the world like one.

I know! Famous rookies NEVER get attention. They don't star in Snickers commercials (Manziel), snort coke on Instagram (Manziel), engage in public drunkenness (Manziel), obsess over "their brand" (RGIII), drag the Kardashian freak show with them (Reggie Bush), have pimp and crack dealers as parents (Bryant), legions…

I'll bet you don't see color, either.

"Why exactly is it "unfortunate?""

Yes, well, that's fine, but he's not just another player. He's different from other players, because he's attempting to become the first openly gay player in the league.

Easy there. "Unfortunate" because people were rooting for him to make the team. No one said the Rams were obligated to keep him.

Probably unfortunate because people wanted him to play better, not that it was a bad decision by the Rams. Come on.

You're a moron.

YES. I've seen it happen with some of Mr. Inq's family while interacting with our son. One cousin asked him why he was using a pink cup because pink is for girls. Wee Inq just kind of blinked at her (he's just 2.5 and catching up on speech), and Mr. Inq informed her that it's a cup and it's holding milk and the color…

and the term maiden name shall be a thing of history!

When my mother instructed a stationery vendor to begin our wedding invitation with "[Mother's name] and [Father's name] request the pleasure of your company . . . ," the stationer was aghast. In all her years of crafting wedding invitations, she squawked, not once had she veered into such utterly tacky territory.…

Do any of you ladies just throw shit in the garbage when it comes to you like that? I know I would. And when I would hear back from the person I would inform them that I received nothing in the mail addressed to me.

What's a better alternative? Boyfriend / girlfriend sounds like high school or implies there's some sort of "trial" aspect to our relationship. We hope to stay together the rest of our lives.

Yes, I don't know how the propriety of tradition outweighs the always proper behavior if calling someone by their correct name.

We addressed our own invitations (mail-merge FTW) and both only had once surviving parent, so we didn't run into this in our own wedding stationary. Since I knew I was keeping my maiden name, I was a real stickler that our wedding invitations and placecards had everyone's full, correct name. But I've since learned,…

I'm sorry - but I can only accept complaints from the male head of a household. Please have your father register your displeasure.

This freaked me out when I got married. Everyone wanted to refer to my partner as Mrs. Myfirstname MyLastname.. uhh.. everyone.. they didn't become a different person or disappear inside me when we got married.
