Ask his Dad, an NFL career will be more difficult for Michael Sam.
Michael is dealing with the NFL, the USA and his DAD!

Michael Sam comes out and his Dad is having a tough time with it. In the NFL, opinions are not welcome, quirkiness can only be overcome by vast talent, the cogs in the NFL machine are all meant to fit together and squeaky wheels are discarded.
Michael THE MAN Sam deserves to be credited and supported more than I can describe. The NFL, the jock/locker room culture might not matter to you but there is a much bigger issue here. I'm a huge follower and fan of football so it matters to me. This is an amazing event that will help move America in the correct (not "right"
direction.
He will be blasted for not being able to shed blockers and pressure the quarterback. He will be a hero if he helps his team win. He will be hated and he will be loved for being publicly gay. Some day, if you ask Michael "What do you do?", he'll say "I play for the Chargers"
I can hope).
He has already changed the sports world. Let's bless and support him and those who draft him in any way we can.
I wish I could buy stock in his jersey sales, I'd be rich.
