THE MORNING BANTER: A Potential NFL Player Comes Out, A GOP Official Says Gays are Satanic, and the Olympics Suck
Another Monday is here and it's back to the grind with you. Here's some internet nonsense to pass the hours today.
1. It's possible that the NFL will soon see its first openly gay player. That's the good news.

2. And now, the bad news. While Michael Sam may make it to the NFL, he'll probably never be truly welcome in one of this country's two major political parties. And please don't even bother with the "not all Republicans are like this" line. That's very true. But if you hate gay people and believe they're agents of Satan, you're almost certainly a Republican.
3. Did you have your orange juice this morning? Fresh-squeezed OJ is one of those things I like so much that I'll never deny myself it, even though it's a little more pricey. But how good is it for you really?
