NFL hopeful Michael Sam told the world he was gay over the weekend, which will make him the first ever openly gay NFL football player once he is drafted in May.
WWE superstar Darren Young — who announced to TMZ that he was gay last year — offered his support for Sam on Twitter, saying:
“Extremely proud of @MikeSamFootball 4 handling business on his own terms. Best of luck in May’s NFL draft! #JustBeU”
Young added:
“It’s not about the ‘media’ attention u get from coming out … (It’s) about the respect u acquire by staying true & living an honest life.”
