I'll add that I'm just as proud of the other Mizzou players and the university in how this was handled. Most of the players knew before the season even began that he was gay. Was it a distraction? Did they harass him for his sexual orientation? No and no. Sam went out of his way to talk about how accepting the players and staff were of his situation. They also posted a fantastic Facebook post saying that we as a university accept our students 'no matter what stripes they wear'. While obviously not the main motivation, this is a huge boost to the university and shows true character.
Loved this comment from Sam in the article in the NY Times. This is a kid who can handle the situation.
