Bunch of slackers around here. Surprised no one posted this.

Saturday’s selection made Sam the first openly gay player to be drafted into the league and prompted celebrations at gay bars stretching from Los Angeles to Queens.

Michael Sam’s history-making night was sealed with a kiss.

The St. Louis Rams selected Sam in the seventh round of the NFL draft Saturday — making him the first openly gay player to be drafted into the league.

Cameras were rolling as Sam, after learning the news, broke down in tears and planted one on the mouth of his boyfriend.

The unscripted embrace sent social media abuzz and capped a historic night for the NFL.

“Thank you to the St. Louis Rams and the whole city of St. Louis,” Sam tweeted afterward. “I’m using every [ounce] of this to achieve greatness!!”

The Rams’ selection of Sam as the 249th overall pick prompted celebrations at gay bars stretching from the city of Angels to the borough of Queens.

“He wasn't picked because he’s gay; he was picked because he has talent,” said Jordan Willard, 32, who was celebrating Sam’s achievement at the Pride Restaurant Lounge in Forest Hills.

You finally see a gay couple in love, in celebration on a major sports network.

“I think with him coming out and now being drafted as an openly gay player, he’s going to show gay youth it’s okay to be comfortable in your own skin and aspire to what you want to be.”

The NFL’s giant leap forward set off celebrations in the heart of Greenwich Village.

“My phone was blowing up with text messages,” said Gary Shackleford, 29, speaking inside the famed Stonewall Inn.

Not sure why ESPN felt the need to show the footage of them kissing 1500 times.

I agree. If he was a hetero they wouldn't have.

Just don't think it's a big deal any more. I think ESPN keeps showing for the same reason the clip of the kids walking in the U of Alabama with Fed troops present is important. Marvin you of all people should understand that. It's like them getting to sit at the front of the bus

Now if we can get some Danna Kirpatrack clips tounge kissing some hot volleyball chick I demand equal time

I would think the story is that he was the first openly homosexual player to get drafted. No need to show the mack down session that followed over and over and over.

So how long until we see the movie Brokeback Superbowl .The first gay NFL quarterback to win the super bowl. You know the Hollywood left most likely has the script written.
