ollowing the St. Louis Rams’ release of defensive end Michael Sam, head coach Jeff Fisher has qualified to the press that in light of criticism, his release was not a result of his race. Regardless, there are still concerns about the true reason Michael Sam was cut. “Ultimately it came down to the fact that we had better men suited to the team dynamic. We had a tight roster and Michael just couldn’t squeeze in,” Fisher added. “The rest of the team didn’t feel as comfortable with him, but I assure you it wasn’t
because of his ethnicity.” “He wasn’t a great fit, you know?” veteran defensive captain James Laurinaitis added. “We needed a tight end, but he wanted to play a bunch of different roles. He was having fun out there, but he just wasn’t playing for the right team.” Laurinaitis added that he was totally cool with black people, and that Sam’s race was not a factor in his feelings. Tavon Austin, Rams’ wide receiver, had a different view on the situation. “I just always felt like Michael was singled out for some reason. Maybe because
he was a black man on a football team, he felt alone. I can’t even imagine what that’s like.” Apparently, the tension went so far that the rest of the team did not feel comfortable showering with Sam, making him shower separately. Since his release, Sam has been signed to the Dallas Cowboys’s practice squad, filling an opening in their roster. As of press time Michael Sam is finding the transition easy. As much tension as St. Louis may have harbored, Dallas seems to have none for men like Sam.

One day, I was walking past Bears Bikes on the South 40, and I noticed that there was no apostrophe signifying the possessive tense in the word “Bears.” And that’s when it hit me. BEARS…BIKES! They rent out both bikes and bears!” gloated Howell as he tossed his brand new rental bear a rabbit’s corpse for a quick snack. Many students like to rent
