........and so it starts.

Did Michael Sam get a fair chance in the NFL?

Talent is the bottom line in the NFL. If Sam was any good he would've made a roster.

The NFL from the top down forgives a lot of things if you have talent. You can beat your wife, murder dogs, murder people, rape women, etc. but as long as you're talented you will get a second chance. The only reason I can see this hurting Nassib in the long run is because the NFL is still a somewhat homophobic place - although it's come a long way. No doubt there will be players that try to get under Nassib's skin and if you look at the comments on his Instagram - although 90% of them are positive - there are still some people out there leaving hateful comments on his page.

Still, no doubt Nassib wouldn't have done this if he wasn't mostly comfortable with his team and the guys in the locker room. Like everyone else has said hopefully the day will come when this isn't even newsworthy anymore.
