Missouri defensive end Michael Sam has come out ahead of his NFL career potentially starting. Which means if and when he is drafted, he will be come the first openly game player in the NFL. So some NFL players are already reacting on the Twitter.
Had multiple convos with @MikeSamFootball this year, amazed at his honesty & courage! Once a tiger, ALWAYS a Tiger!

I’ve never really understood the big deal about knowing someone’s sexual preference. I don’t care.

I could care less about a man’s sexual preference! i care about winning games and being respectful in the locker room!

There is no room for bigotry in American sports. It takes courage to change the culture.
