Michael Sam coming out of the closet actually may have been a setback for his potential NFL career, according to some NFL officials who spoke anonymously to Sports Illustrated. On Monday night, WFAA sports anchor Dale Hansen stood up for Sam in a big way with a speech that called out not just the NFL’s fluctuating moralism, but the hypocrisy of those who profess to be for small government.
Hansen mocked the idea that having a gay player in the locker room would somehow make people uncomfortable, when, quite frankly, people with infinitely more questionable moral values still walk among them.
“You beat a woman and drag her down a flight of stairs, pulling her hair out by the roots? You’re the fourth guy taken in the NFL draft. You kill people while driving drunk? That guy’s welcome. Players caught in hotel rooms with illegal drugs and prostitutes, we know they’re welcome! Players accused of rape and pay the women to go away, you lie to police, try to cover up a murder, we’re comfortable with that. You love another man? Well, now you’ve gone too far."
He went on to decry the hypocrisy of people who “say government should stay out of our lives, but then want government in our bedrooms,” and reminded viewers that once upon a time, people used to think black players would make people uncomfortable.

Leading conservative Bill Kristol, editor of the Weekly Standard, criticized Secretary of State John Kerry this week for pursuing peace between the Israelis and Palestinians, saying Kerry risks upending “the quietest place in the region.”
Kerry helped restart the moribund peace process last year and has since assembled a team of top experts and diplomats to handle the issue and made numerous trips to the region to help facilitate the talks.
Speaking with Frank Gaffney on his radio show on Tuesday, Kristol attacked the Obama administration’s foreign policy and roped in Kerry’s efforts in the Middle East. “I mean Kerry’s maniacal insistence on a peace process in the Middle East when tens of thousands of people are being killed next door,” he said, adding that Kerry is “obsessed with disrupting” the relative calm in Israel and the Palestinian Territories:
