Sam I Am
I watched the Michael Sam documentary on OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network and I was left with a sense of despair.
What happened to him BOTHERS me. It seemed to me that he was exploited by gay rights folks, his naivete taken wholly advantage of, and ended up being shunned by the NFL, even though he actually did pretty well on the teams he played for.
Where is he left and what is he left with?
I wonder if the gay rights folks who used him for points and
visibility, and to satiate our hunger for an out professional athlete,
are going to lend their resources to help him establish a flourishing
career outside the NFL if one inside the NFL is now impossible.There are some other things I want to say, but I’m not going to say them just yet….
