Gays in the NFL

Prospect for the draft, Michael Sam, came out Sunday night – the Sunday before last – announcing that he was gay.



And so, this is news in America because as one NFL scout said:



His former team, some NFL stars, many people came out in support of him.



And, from this, stories started coming out: will this change his draft spot? For better or worse?



Lol, my favourite thing so far, was ESPN SportsNation putting up a poll; and the question for the poll was, "Is the NFL ready for a gay player? At the initial moment of research, it was 63% Yes, 37% No.



Pretty much even across all the states, except Tennessee and Mississippi. Those states, at various levels, saying NO.



And, since many blogs started reporting on this, many people from Mississippi were like, "Dammit, Mississippi!", which seems to be their new slogan.



Nonetheless, a lot of people voted that, "Yes, the NFL is ready".

But, the main thing is, this is really a non-story. The fact that it is a story, is the story.
