It stand to reason that if you out yourself prior to the draft of the biggest sport in America, you are timing it that way for a reason


Which could be for any number of reasons that aren't about being a marketing ploy.

teams can now talk to their players to see if they'll be comfortable sharing a locker room with a gay teamate. He wants to bring his boyfriend along with him like many players do with their spouses/family to meet with teams. I'm just spitballing ideas. Or he could just have decided that now was the best time for him. I don't know his though process.

Teams talking to players about gay teamate - I don't buy that one because it would assume that Sam has the NFL best interest at heart - doubtbul

Taking boyfriend to games - I can see that

Best time for him - I suppose but the media circus is a lot of pressure for such a young man - I just think the timing was for publicity more than anything. Of course, that's just my opinion.

Doctor Royal Cola - simmer down - we can efight later if you want.
