For one reason or another, the folks at ESPN thought it would be a great idea to cover Michael Sam’s shower habits in the St. Louis Rams locker room. Fellow defensive end Chris Long wasn’t ready to have any of that.

After a questionable segment aired on ESPN, Long took to social media to sound off on ESPN’s decision to report on whether or not a homosexual man is showering with straight guys.

Not only is it non-newsworthy, but it is offensive to a lot of people who feel ESPN was just digging for a story.

To sum up a lot of the general public’s feelings on the ESPN report, Long made a short, but sweet tweet that was just brilliantly said.

You nailed that one, Chris Long.
