Rick Sanchez criticizes Michael Sam

yes, the Rick Sanchez fired from CNN for anti jewish comments. he is now writing for "Fox News Latino" .


<Many people reading this are probably thinking, “What’s the big deal? He licked cake off someone’s face. So what.” Well, this goes beyond slobber and frosting on someone’s face. It has to do with the image that straight Americans hold of gay Americans. It has to do with trying to dispel stereotypes of gay people and eliminating the bigotry they face (no pun intended).

Far from this “cake incident” being a byproduct of his celebrating, I believe this was an intentional and calculated move by Michael Sam to create hype and get coverage for one reason and one reason only: selfish self-promotion. In so doing, Sam not only made a spectacle of himself, but actually set back the cause of the LGBT movement.>
