    Default Sam on gay players: 'A lot of us'

    Michael Sam may be the first openly gay player to be selected in the NFL draft, but he said Thursday that there are more gay players in the NFL.

    "I am not the only gay person in the NFL," Sam said during a speech and Q&A session in Dallas on Thursday, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. "I'm just saying there is a lot of us. I respect the players that did reach out to me and had the courage to tell me that they were also gay, but they do not have the same courage as I do to come out before I even played a down in the NFL.

    "Was it a risky move? Yes. But at that moment, the reason why I came out is I thought it wasn't going to be a big deal. Maybe I was naive. Maybe I thought it was 2014, and people will understand that there's gay NFL players. There's gay athletes everywhere. But I was clearly wrong. It was a huge deal.

    "The players who have reached out to me and told me about their sexual orientation, it just means a lot. But I will never say anything about who they are, what teams they are [on]. I'm just saying there's some famous people, and I'm not the only one."

    I hope he doesn't injure himself patting himself on the back.

    He's still holding on to his 15 mins of fame and using the gay agenda as his crutch.

    Anything else you get out of his very benign comments in answers to direct questions?

    Did he also take a shot at our brave men and women in the armed forces? If you keep reading I'm sure he supported ISIS somewhere in there.

    Wow, you're salty tonight. He said they didn't have the same courage as he did. It struck me as arrogant. I'm sorry you don't agree, but thanks for coming strong with whatever your problem is.

    I don't believe that there is an abundance of gay players in the NFL.

    You do realize what you just posted is considered a hate crime? If you were an NFL player, your team would denounce you, make you recant publicly & make you take sensitive training. Seriously, this actually happened a couple of years ago to a player that made virtually the same comment.

    It is not a hate crime in the least to say that you don't believe something is or is not.
