NFL hopeful Michael Sam came out as gay to his University of Missouri teammates in 2013, then to ESPN as an "openly proud queer man" just before the NFL draft in 2014, making him the first openly gay male to be drafted by an NFL team. His conclusion to come out at the hour because he had "sensed that rumors were circulating," according to the New York Times.
Still, despite his heroic statements, he now thinks that coming out offend his career, and he may be right: Sam was the first SEC Defensive Player of the Year in eight years drafted outside the first round — waiting until the seventh round for the St. Louis Rams to pick him up (and that was just eight picks before existence entirely shut out). Soon the Rams cut him and he landed a spot on the Dallas Cowboys exercise squad before retiring in 2015 to focus on his mental hea

If a guy is a 6 on the Kinsey Scale, that means he and his best friend were probably just wrestling when I walked in unannounced, right?

It goes the equal for athletes many athletes have reach out in recent years. For example when Michael Sam came out before the NFL Draft he was criticized because some teams didn't want the media distraction signing him would provide. At least that's the reason they said. He was selected by the St. Louis Rams but he was cut before the regular season. After a short stint on Dallas's exercise squad, he went to the CFL, only playing in oner game. While sports have reach a long way in accepting those of different backgrounds and sexualities, there's still a lot of work to be done.

He wonders where all the years went. It has been 23 NFL seasons since Kopay, a running back for five teams in nine seasons, stunned the sports society by coming out as a homosexual. He was the first major professional team-sport athlete to accomplish so, but few possess followed. Guard Roy Simmons, who played 58 games for the Giants and Redskins from 1979-83, came out on the Phil Donahue Show in 1992, but that was it. "I'm the token queer,'' Kopay muses. "I'm it.'' The belief that somewhere between 5 and 10 percent of the general population is homosexual suggests that 75 to 150 of the NFL's 1,500 players are closeted.
"Think about this,'' says Atlanta wide receiver Terance Mathis. "You may own three, four gay guys on your team and not even know it.'' Says Kopay, "Of course, that is what I want to believe, and yet I don't se |
