Meet NFL's First Openly Gay Player - Michael Sam (Photos)

Michael Sam, an All-American defensive end who played for the University of Missouri, made history on Saturday after he got drafted into the NFL. Making him the first openly gay player in the history of the league. Sam was picked by the Rams in the seventh and final round, the 249th of 256 players selected.

24 year old Michael Sam had announced in February that he was gay during an interview with sports channel ESPN saying:

"I'm Michael Sam. I'm a football player and I'm gay. I just want to own my truth before anyone breaks a story about me."

So when it was time to receive the news of his drafting, same ESPN filmed a tearful Sam receiving the call from St Louis Rams coach Jeff Fisher to tell him that he had been selected to be a part of the team. Unable to contain his emotions, Sam turned to his boyfriend, Vito Cammisano, and the pair shared a kiss live on air; a kiss that has sparked many social media debates and gotten a player who tweeted that this was horrible suspended.
