Michael Sam Drafted by the St. Louis Rams

On May 10th, Michael Sam was drafted by the St. Louis Rams. People weren't angry that this openly gay man got drafted, but they were angry about what he did after he found out he was drafted. Michael Sam publicly kissed his boyfriend, Vito Cammisano, on television after he found out he was drafted by the Rams.

People couldn't believe that ESPN allowed this on national television where children are watching. "I'm sorry but that Michael Sam is no bueno for doing that on national tv," former Super Bowl champion Derrick Ward tweeted. "Man U got little kids lookin at the draft. I can't believe ESPN even allowed that to happen," he added. By saying any of this Ward could be said to be anti-gay or against all gays. People don't understand how historical this moment in time is. By Michael Sam being the first NFL player to come out before the NFL draft and nationally kissing his boyfriend on national television after he found out he was finally drafted by someone makes him the most known football player. He knows how to be professional so don't give him crap for people able to stand up for what he believes in and show how much he loves his boyfriend. It doesn't matter how much people feel uncomfortable about this situation. It's happening whether they like it or not.
