It should definitely help them with recruits in the northern California/ SanFran region.

If a 5 star HS recruit is gay, why not go to a place where you will be accepted openly and not have to hide in the closet?
Wanna know a secret? If he's a legit 5 star, it doesn't matter who he loves, he'll be accepted as long as he plays well.
At Bama at least, that is all that needs to matter. Doesn't matter who you love or what you do, just be good at football.

I think that you used the right word that Sams' teammates "respected" his homosexuality or were "accepting" of it BUT apparently were not "supportive" of his homosexuality.

What does that even mean? They didn't give a reach around? They vehemently refused to change the school fight song to "YMCA"? They demanded Chick-Fil-A for all team meals?

Not sure if it would hurt or help. I'm still trying to figure out why this was news to begin with. Who honestly gives a shite?
It should help--if nothing else, it shows that the coaching staff at Missouri is principled and of high character and expects--and gets--the same from their players.
As for why it is news, you are kidding, right?
THE stereotype that has caused most men (and even some women) to disrespect gay men has been that gay men are "sissies"......so when a gay man who has succeeded at the most masculine of pursuits comes forward and demonstrates that the stereotype is a lie, at least when it comes to some individuals, it SHOULD cause the disrespect and hostility on the part of other men towards gay men to abate....and should result in homosexuality not being as much of a taboo as a consequence.
And as that disrepect and hostility abates, life for gay men should become easier and better.
What is hard to understand about that?

The biggest thing it did for Mizzou was put their football program and coaches and players all over mainstream media for a few days. Listen to Pinkel talk on the Mike and Mike show. That whole interview was him building up the program. Not sure it would hurt. But I dont think it helps in a sense that people will say "hey I wanna go play there because they accept gay athletes." The positive will be families will say hey look they stand with their own regardless. And all the positive attention the team has received from the media. With that being said I dont see us pulling Bama classes because of it. Just more publicity.
