We're not anti-gay we're just sick of the media making being gay something to be celebrated or special.
I'm straight, he's gay and we're all equally flawed human beings. Sexual orientation shouldn't be celebrated either way.
People aren't mad at Sam, they're sick of the media shoving this type stuff down our throat.

Michael Sam is brave. He may be getting positive media coverage now, but how long have he and other gay athletes had to stay closeted? If it weren't a big deal, then how come he is the first openly gay player in the NFL? Do you think he's the first gay NFL player? Of course not.
His life as an NFL player and as a openly gay man has been hard, and is only going to get harder. People will hate him because he was born different. Other players will be threatened by his presence. Coaches will see him as less than a man.
He was overjoyed to be drafted. Why can't people just let him have his moment? It was a long time before he could be who he really is, and it will be a tough road for him to go down from now forward.

Yea that's the thing, if Sam wants it to be "about football and not his personal life" he needs to keep his personal life personal and just play football. He really needs to start thinking for himself and stop listening to the cause driven agents/managers he is surrounded by, who obviously are more about pushing his lifestyle as an agenda over the substance of his playing ability.
The media including the sports media is all about glamming on to the latest pc craze of social feelgoodism, and placing themselves on some moral pedestal of tolerance, much of which seems like phony self aggrandizement. I wouldn't hesitate to bet that most of these high and mighty media types make all sorts of bigoted remarks in private conversations, they just haven't been caught, yet, Sterling style.
Sports media types need to stay focused on sports, which most of them are barely qualified to report, much less speak on in terms of social issues.
