organized sports on any level, but a NFL lockerroom is generally not some bastion of political correctness.

That Johnathan Martin shit in Miami, the bountygate shit in New Orleans, the Kluwe situation in Minnesota, whatever the fuck they have going on in New England, there's a lot of crazy things that go on.

A lot of guys may not have an issue with Sam but some will. How do you discipline those guys? It's something that could divide a lockerroom. And the guy we're talking about is a marginal rookie who's a long shot to make the team anyway.

Before the draft Sam and his handlers were saying he just wanted to focus on being a football and didn't want to be any kind of spokesman or get any extra attention. Immediately after he's draft we find out that he has a reality with Oprah in the works and all kinds of other shit. Distractions for a guy who's a borderline pro to begin with. I'm sure a lot of other teams passed on him for those same reasons.

The Rams were a last place team in their division with nothing to lose so they could use the positive PR.
