Lib Heartache: Dallas Cowboys Cut Michael Sam From Practice Squad, Fails To Appear In Regular Season Game…
Not fabulous.
Via Yahoo News:
The Dallas Cowboys might be one of the best feel-good stories of the NFL so far this season, but they will not be a part of one involving defensive end Michael Sam.
Sam, who is aiming to be the first openly gay player to appear in an NFL regular-season game, was waived from the team’s practice squad on Tuesday, per various reports.
Sam signed with the Cowboys on Sept. 3 after the St. Louis Rams, the team that drafted Sam in the seventh round in May, cut him following the preseason. The Cowboys even had sold Sam’s jerseys in its pro shop as he tried to impress the team enough to promote him to the active roster.
That never happened. Now Sam, who spent the past seven weeks on the Cowboys’ practice squad, is a free agent and will be joining his third team in three months if he lands with another club.
