EARTH CITY, Mo. -- Michael Sam made history Saturday afternoon, as the St. Louis Rams made him the 249th overall choice in the 2014 NFL draft.
The Missouri defensive end becomes the first openly gay player to be drafted in league history and seeks to be the first openly gay player ever to play in the NFL. Video of Sam receiving the call from the Rams and coach Jeff Fisher revealed the player's emotion while surrounded by friends, family and his boyfriend.
"In a world of diversity we live in, I am honored to be a part of this," Fisher told ESPN.
"I don't want it to become an unusual distraction for his teammates but him as well," Fisher added.

A worthy cause. But maybe they could do it maybe just one week this year?

“This doesn’t happen in hockey.”

It’s RIDICULOUS to think homosexuals would be attracted to football...running into each other and jumping into large piles, taking showers together, snapping towels in the locker.....

Owner heck. Just imagine the comments he will get on the line. I’m sure the opponents will be getting a ton of un- sportsmanship penalties.
