So just like that history is made. Michael Sam , the All-American defensive end from Missouri has come out as "openly gay" . The 6 foot 2 inch , 260 pound NFL prospect is well spoken, personable and liked and respected by his teammates. He seems to be the right man for the job... 2 questions really stand out though.
1. Will the NFL teams discriminate against him in the drafting process?
2. Will Sam be able to handle fan, media and "teammate scrutiny "?
Let's put it this way . It is not gonna be easy. Sam is gonna have to have very, very thick skin! Jackie Robinson did it .Can Sam? I'm just hoping he gets drafted where he is supposed to be drafted and that his performance is based only on how he does on the field.
And teammates. Welcome him in ! He's a man and a football player. Make us proud!!
