23 year old college football
defensive lineman, Michael Sam has come clean to disclose he is gay. During an
interview with ESPN yesterday, Sunday February 9, Sam said "I'm Michael
Sam. I'm a football player and I'm gay. I just want to own my truth before
anyone breaks a story about me."
According to Sam, his college
teammates in Missouri know about his sexuality and support him 100% and he is hoping
to get the same acceptance from the NFL.
From all indications, I do not think
the NFL seems to mind that Sam is gay. Here is what they said in a statement, “We
admire Michael Sam's honesty and courage. Michael is a football player. Any
player with ability and determination can succeed in the NFL. We look forward
to welcoming and supporting Michael Sam in 2014.'
