NFL Hopeful Michael Sam Comes Out As Gay

Michael Sam, a star college football player who is potentially a top prospect in the National Football League's upcoming draft, came out as gay in a video posted on the New York Times website on Sunday, and could become the NFL's first openly gay player. "I'm Michael Sam. I'm a football player and I'm gay," Sam, a defensive lineman, said in the video. "I just want to own my truth before anyone breaks a story about me."
