Michael Sam, an All-American defensive lineman at the University of Missouri, came to tell the world in an ESPN interview that he is an "openly proud gay man." Sam was named the top defensive player in the Southeastern Conference and is expected to be picked in the NFL draft in May 2014. Sam's choice to publically acknowledge his sexuality before beginning his professional career shows extreme courage.
Sam thanked ESPN, NYTimes and the NFL for their support on his recently created Twitter account @MikeSamFootball where he already has 61K followers! We are inspired by Michael Sam to be truthful and fearless!
