This is why I get such a kick out of people who called him "courageous" for coming out. I mean it was 2014, not 1914. He did not risk being tortured or lynched. Instead he transformed himself from a marginal talent with zero chance at NFL success into a millionaire with international fame based solely on his sexuality. How was that courageous? Courage is facing extreme adversity and hardship in order to do the right thing. His entire coming out plan was completely orchestrated by PR experts to achieve exactly what he is gaining now. I have no issue with him being gay, but what he did was not courageous.

You're all over this shite, way too much money to be made. I'll go out on a limb and say once Oprah and Ellen work with Sam on his stage presence and Sam gets comfy in front of the cameras he'll have his own show.

It's courageous because of all the morons in this thread right now. If it's this bad here, imagine how bad it could be in an NFL locker room. Idiots.
Also, grow up and educate yourselves.
