RE: “Watch your mouth” versus “Free men speak with free tongues”

Mr. Hickey,

In a country where it is OK for 15 naked self-proclaimed homosexuals can masturbate in front of Saint Patrick’s Cathedral – the big one in New York, the one on 5th Avenue and 50th street – to show their solidarity with gay Pride Day why can’t one of your players say “OMG – Horrible” when Michael Sam is drafted?

As long as we are on the subject…

Would it be homophobic of me to ask why you didn’t draft Michael Sam?
Could you tell me if he is bullied will it be treated as a hate crime?
Exactly how, other than telling your player what to say and more importantly, what not to say, are you going to “handle it appropriately”?
Would you handle it differently if Ryan Tannehill had been the Tweeterer?

PS – I read Pouncey’s tweet, “I can’t wait for our gifts he’s getting us”, about Ju’Wuan Jones, your first round draft pick. Forget about pass blocking and picking up blitzers. Get him a crash course in Grammar & Composition, preferably in English.
