Yep, He's Gay

If you are at all interested in football or gay rights, you know that Michael Sam is gay. He was a very good college football player for the University of Missouri; good enough to be named the co-Defensive Player of the Year in the SEC, perhaps the very best college football conference. Most of us would consider Michael Sam to be a big dude at 6’ 2” and 255 pounds but as he makes the transition to the NFL, he’s a “tweener.” Draft analysts ask if he’s a little too small to continue playing defensive end or maybe a little too slow to play linebacker. All of that is merely back story, at least for today, because the only thing that really mattered about Michael Sam today is that he’s queer and he’s here. Time for some old white guys to get used to it.
