MICHAEL SAM TO MAKE CFL DEBUT FOR ALOUETTES IN AUGUST
MICHAEL SAM TO MAKE CFL DEBUT FOR ALOUETTES IN AUGUST
MONTREAL (AP) -- Michael Sam will make his debut with the Montreal Alouettes in August, but his coach won't give an exact date.
The Alouettes play Saturday in Calgary, and coach Tom Higgins says the defensive end could compete in any of the five games in August.
On Tuesday, Higgins says Sam is "is getting so much closer to being able to play. He wants to go, and I think it's going to happen sooner than later."
Sam wasn't made available for comment.
He became the first openly gay player drafted by an NFL team when the St. Louis Rams picked him in 2014. Sam didn't make an NFL roster and recently signed a two-year contract with Montreal in the Canadian Football League.
Sam missed two weeks of training camp for personal reasons, returned on June 29 and has been getting into shape.

Gay or not, I hope he's good.
We haven't won the Grey Cup since 2010.
I'm not complaining, I just expect all our teams to win the championship every year, that's all.
Hello Masahiko Kimura, I'm in Canada, where are you?

What does that mean?
I don't know why you guys are killing my article, I'm out of here.

Hello Sophia!
I'm finally on!
Hey girl, luv you!
Here I like Del Boca Juniors Futball Club all my friends
Campeonato Brasileiro like.
Sophia, John was referring to the Chicago Cubs (baseball) who haven't won a championship in over 100 years. So five years isn't really that bad.
Sophia did you feel the comment was inappropriate and did you want the comment removed? If not you should ask to have it reinstated.
100 years?
Good golly! Why do they bother to keep playing? Their fans must throw garbage on the field after every loss!
I think I'd move to another city and become another team's fan after a few years.
Ok, I think I understand.
I'll try harder to follow the rules.
Thank you for not suspending me or kicking me off your site because I really like the way it looks and works, very easy to learn.
It's a spiritual thing with Cubs fans Sophia. They keep praying that someday, they will actually win a championship.
