 A top NFL prospect¹ says he is gay. We' ll look the reception, that he may get in the league. Let's get started.

I'm Michael Sam, I'm a football player and I'm gay.

That is misery² all of American defensive³, Michael Sam beaten to the New York Time reviewing what his teammates already knew it accepted, what his parents knew it accepted. He spoke⁴ to the Times over the weekend, told them why he want public. 

I coming out because I want to owe my truth. I'm comfortable who I am and I didn't want anyone to break a story that allow me tell it. I want tell the way I want to tell it.

So now he has reaction in NFL where he is expected to a mid⁵ told low round draft, appears it depend on what the reaction is by name or not. yesterday, the leage treated  we admire Michael Sam's honesty and courage, Michael is a football player, any player with ability and determination can succeed in NFL, we look forward to welcoming and supporting Michael Sam in 2014. 

So that's that. But on the other hand, what allowed to remain anonymity⁶ in NFL executive and coaches told sports illustrated⁷ how much a different story.one said the league just didn't ready maybe in the coming decade or two he said, other doubt the maturity⁸ of players especially in the locker⁹ room, something * line back Jonathen Puma¹⁰ echoed in a recent interview. 

I think that he would not be accepted as much as we think, he would be acceopted I want people just naturely* we are whole * . That's really not the case, imaging if he is the guy next to me I'm not get dressed, naked taking shower the whole night. I just have to see if he looks at me, how am I suppose to respond? 

Another NFL exactive quoted an anonym on this sports illustrated that present of gay player would cause in balance in NFL locker room chemically to New York Times Frank Buni today replying to somebody's words,get over it, *, it's a locker room for heaven's sake, not last call at a rawhide¹¹.  

For joining us, only on 360 is Jonathan puma who is here for a short time ago, looked at in the shower, Jonathan thank you so much for joining us tonight, we really appreciate it. 

Well, thanks for having me. 

So last thing two weeks ago before Michael Sam's announcement, you said a gay play would not be accepted as much as we think he would, why not?

right, well I think that you have a gay player as Michael Sam is coming out, and he's done tremendous job, he says a lot about his charactor,and who is a person, it's a simple change, people are resistance to change at times, it's not just as simple as coming into a locker room. My words illus a poor illustration of the example I trying to give, on the context, so I do appologize for that, I was trying to explain that whatever you have changes into something that been set stone for so long,or you have something that been gone for so long, that change always come with no resistance. and there is a poor choice an example I use I do appologize for that. I was trying to explain is that whenever you present someone like Michael Sam who extremly extremly confidence and powerful man himself within his own rights, into NFL culture there used to one thing there gonna be naturally be that first level first way resistance before you have the transition
