Unfortunately, the team that drafts Sam is going to have to deal with distractions like this. 
On a side note, he has already signed an endorsement deal with VISA.

A conservative group, no doubt looking for publicity, announced it will boycott any NFL team that drafts gay player Michael Sam.
If Sam does get drafted, the team that picks him will get to look forward to dealing with Washington, DC lobbyist Jack Burkman who, as part of his campaign to pass legislation that would ban openly gay players from playing in the NFL, is vowing to unleash a “relentness” boycott against the team that drafts him.
Burkman says that he has a “coalition of Evangelical Christian leaders from across the nation” ready to go as soon as Sam is drafted who will teach the NFL that “when you trample the Christian community and Christian values, there will be a terrible financial price to pay.”
In a release issued Thursday, Burkman said he would “leverage his political clout” to ensure that the franchise that selects the 6-foot-2, 260-pound defensive end from Missouri would get “roughed up financially.”
“We shall exercise our First Amendment rights and shall not stop until the drafting NFL franchise cannot sell a single ticket, jersey or autographed football,” said Burkman. “In short, we shall be relentless

I would hope Christians, or any group with half a brain, would have better things to do with their time that might be more productive or helpful to their cause.

I don't like this at all. They are using the Gay/Lesian tactics of hate to go after the NFL. Christians should be concerned, and Gay/Lesbians should STFU, cause its what they do on a daily basis...

that will just open up more room for other fans to sit.

So how is this worse than what LGBT groups have done recently?

You suck because you don't realize how irrelevant this is. 70k people will be cheering for him every home game, and millions will cheer for him from their living rooms.

How will they do that?

So like one from Florida, another from Texas, and a Mormon in Utah?

I hope that your feelings and emotions aren't feeling bruised at this reaction towards him, that would be a depressing thing to know about.

These individuals have only the power you give them. Ignore them and they have no power.

I don't think these Evangelicals really get how football works.

The Visa endorsement is funny
The ad says to judge him based on how he plays on the field, not how he is off the field
Yet the reason they gave him the endorsement was because of who he is off the field
