Michael Sam wins a big victory
Like it or not, Michael Sam made history when he was drafted by the Rams. When he kissed his male lover on national TV, many claimed they were disgusted. But if he was kissing his female partner would people feel equally disgusted, no? Most Homophobes were upset because football is considered a masculine sport and it makes other players and football lovers feel uncomfortable. Many coaches have rightfully pointed out that gay people participate in both football and basketball, so what is the big deal. Ok, I know, as long as they stay in the closet that makes everybody feel better. I support Michael and I seriously hope he puts a few jocks out of business so that he can gain more respect among his team mates. Jokes aside folks, Michael is going to have a rough time and I hope he is up for the task. If he fails, it will be much harder for others players to come out of the closet. There are a lot of personal drama and pitfalls surrounding the gay life style. He needs to adhere to all NFL rules regarding personal conduct on and off the field. If he maintains good personal conduct and play reasonably well on the field; he will certainly be remembered in the history books. He stated that he just wants to be a good football player without references to his sexual orientation. Good Luck Michael Sam
