In a normal world, this shouldn't be an issue.
But, definitely breaking news in American Sport: Not sure if it should be on this forum or somewhere else.
Would this affect his draft status? Forum leaders, move it wherever you feel appropriate.

Michael Sam, an All-American defensive lineman from Missouri Tigers and the Associated Press' SEC Defensive Player of the Year, said that he is gay in interviews with ESPN's "Outside the Lines" and the New York Times on Sunday.

Sam stated publicly what his teammates and coaches at Mizzou have known since August: "I am an openly, proud gay man."

Sam is eligible for the NFL draft in May. Assuming that he is drafted, Sam could become the first openly gay player in the history of the NFL.
