I am not big on forced apologies, but what was Don Jones going to do?
He isn’t a star, so he can’t speak his mind like say Adrian Peterson who blatantly said he would feel uncomfortable with a gay teammate.
Here is what Jones had to say after the Rams selected Michael Sam.
Here was his punishment.
Dolphins announce Don Jones fined, excused from team activities for his social media comments about Michael Sam

Don Jones: 'I want to apologize to Michael Sam for the inappropriate comments that I made last night on social media.'

Don Jones: 'I take full responsibility for them and I regret that these tweets took away from his draft moment.'

If you disagree with Michael Sam being gay, that is your right, just be aware if you say that on social media and you aren’t your own boss there will be consequences.
