"I'm Michael Sam, I'm African American, and I'm Gay."

First of all, props to Michael Sam for being true to himself. Took a lot of courage, and sounds like the dude has been through a lot in his life (per the espn interview).

However, (and please forgive me if I sound insensitive) but very curious to see how many Google results after tommorow come up with..."did you mean...Michael Scott, cultural sensitivity episode. I mean, come on. This sounded too scripted, at least at the end. A lot of athletes are gay, ESPN. That includes the players currently in the NFL. We all know already. They just don't see the need to make a press conference out if it.

Who cares. Time to move on, especially in this era. Just because NBC is stealing your coverage with openly gay, international athletes around the clock, doesn't have to mean you have to break "earth shattering news" to steal some ratings.

Evan Tebow stating he lost
his virginity, or Te'o having a real girl friend wouldn't even have gotten as much coverage (Absolutely kidding)

But do you get my point? Enough off the "orientation" garbage.

Has football season started yet? End of rant/
