There have been gay NFL players prior to this. You have not heard much about it (notably the 2 gay players in the 90's who played for Houston) because not much was made of it. There is bigotry and stupidity everywhere, but go ahead and pick some thing you disdain . Michael Sam should be just fine, and if not something should be done about it, absolutely. I do not doubt for a minute that this will be the only circumstance in which he will face bigotry. Sadly

That said, I commend you for what you do, and have a great deal of respect for you Dan.

^^Thank you. There will be some ignorance and bigotry sadly, but like most workplaces they will just have to move on and work with their new employee/team mate
