Michael Sam and Coach Dungy Comments.

I agree with coach Dungy, when drafting a playing to the NFL you have to look at everything as a whole. Why draft a player that will bring a lot of unnecessary attention to your team.  Coach Dungy said “My sincere hope is that we will be able to focus on his play and not on his sexual orientation." Until he steps on the field and play a NFL game the only thing the Media will focus on is his Sexual orientation and how it affect the team. With drafting Michael Sam the media would be camping out at the Rams training camp wanting to see how the team reacts to a gay player being on the team. No one wants to be asked the same questions over and over again. The only question the media would ask is related to Michael Sam and how him being the first openly gay NFL player and not on how the team is going to play this year.  I also agree that Michael Sam does deserves to play in the NFL. He was his conference Defense player of the year, he plays as hard as the other player on the team. However, the fact that he revealed he was gay before the draft really hurt him. Personally I think he should of did want he did in college and revealed it to him teammate once he got drafted.
