BREAKING: Michael Sam is gay
DE/OLB prospect for Missou who is draft eligible has now come out publicly. Very good player too; 1st team all American & SEC defensive player of the year. Will be first NFL active player who has come out.

Ballsy. Somebody had to start it.
All I care about is if he plays like a raven if we draft him.

This . . . will be interesting. Good for him. I am sure people will say and do the right things, and I think both (a) it's a big deal, and (b) it will, in his draft and career, go more quietly than some people would expect.
So, good for him, now we wait. Optimistically. :)
edit: As an OLB, Michael Sam is both the "Mike" and the "Sam."Festivus
His definitions and arguments were so clear in his own mind that he was unable to understand how any reasonable person could honestly differ with him.

Not trying to be a homophobic but if I were Ozzie I would not draft him. He would be a huge distraction to our team. And I don't know how comfortable our players would be with him in the locker room. Congrats to him though on coming out, I'm sure it's not easy to do, especially when your about to get drafted.
Not a fan though

Sam ran hills with J. Collins on Fri. Dinner with Wade Davis, Kluwe, Brendon, Billy Bean last night. Hit gay bar. Sung 'My Girl' in karaoke.

As long as Ritchie incognito isn't on the same team as Sam, he'll be alright. SMH

Re: BREAKING: Michael Sam is gay
You might not be "trying" to be homophobic, but you seem to be projecting homophobia onto others. Why shouldn't the Ravens draft this talented young man? I don't buy the "distraction" angle. The Ravens, like any other functional organization, have to deal with employees of all different shapes, sizes, etc. and being gay is a lot less problematic than being a drug-addled criminal, like a lot of NFL players are.
The reality is that the NFL is already full of gay players, just like the world has always been full of gay people. The only difference is that now they can be who they are without (for the most part) being subject to violence and indiscriminate hatred.
