Michael Sam not only made headlines as the SEC Defensive Player of the Year, but is the first openly gay player in National Football League history. Now I personally believe that you should be free to love and marry whoever you want no matter the gender. So I have no problem watching Sam play every Sunday. It doesn’t matter what your sexuality is – we’re all human beings.

Plus whenever you put on that uniform, you go from human being to warrior. This man has all the respect in the world by not only the gay community, but fans like myself who applaud him for loving and being open about who he is as a person.

Here’s the reaction from Michael Sam after receiving a call from the St. Louis Rams:
