They broke it down, showing just how good and how much Michael Sam has overcome. This is a massive, strong lineman who dominated the SEC his senior year after coming out to his teammates. The only reason someone of his talent and determination could have been overlooked would be because he’s gay. Watching what he went through – just trying to make it into the NFL, ripped our hearts out. He’s one of our own. That’s our son. And he’s being destroyed right in front of us, not being drafted, for no reason at all.

These ESPYs were a breakthrough moment for humanity, let me tell you. There is no going back. HELP HIM, WORLD. PICK HIM UP. HE’S DONE EVERYTHING ELSE. How can we just sit there and watch someone have the courage to be themselves and not support them? IT’S ON YOU, WORLD. IT’S ONE LOVE, ONE PEOPLE. Everyone saw that tonight. Sam shed every stereotype about a homosexual person being weak, growing up without a dad and overcoming his gang-related brothers and the death of his sister to make it to Missouri to play college football. He led that team to the Cotton Bowl and earned co-defensive player of the year in the SEC. HE TOLD HIS TEAM HE’D MAKE A BIG PLAY IN THE FINAL GAME AND DID. He’s a coaches dream. So why the fuck didn’t he get drafted before the seventh round? THAT’S ON YOU, NFL. ALL 32 TEAMS. WHERE WERE YOU?
