EARTH CITY, Mo. -- Michael Sam made history Saturday afternoon, as the St. Louis Rams made him the 249th overall choice in the 2014 NFL draft.
The Missouri defensive end becomes the first openly gay player to be drafted in league history and seeks to be the first openly gay player ever to play in the NFL. Video of Sam receiving the call from the Rams and coach Jeff Fisher revealed the player's emotion while surrounded by friends, family and his boyfriend.
"In a world of diversity we live in, I am honored to be a part of this," Fisher told ESPN.
"I don't want it to become an unusual distraction for his teammates but him as well," Fisher added.

And every male at ESPN got an erection

“Sam to slam hams with Rams”
They’re the Fabulous Rams now!
Jeff Fisher is so thrilled to be in a “world of diversity”, the NFL.
You know, the NFL is so diverse that Roger Goodell and the media decided that Rush Limbaugh couldn’t be an owner of the St. Louis Rams.
So diverse that men like Tim Tebow are mocked by those in the league without any repercussions.
The NFL can shove it. I quit watching nearly completely when they pissed all over Limbaugh’s efforts to be involved in the league, now this open celebration of sodomy helps seal the door shut for me.
Wow I heard he likes to stay at the ram it in
Saint Louis...patron saint of hairdressers. Look it up.
Just wait until the “Embraceable Ewes” have their first male cheerleader.
Nipples maybe.
LOL
Hee, hee, hee. I can’t believe any team would ask for this. Of course, I don’t watch the NFL anymore so what the heck.
I’m just glad I’m a baseball fan.
He has an affinity for the tight ends.
“Sam to slam hams with Rams””
ROFL! Perfect!
Instead of superhero Rambo, he can be RamButt.
Scout reports stated that Sam is undersized (no pun intended) and has a habit of missing assignments.
Doesn't matter. The Rams will be boycotted and sued into oblivion if they cut him prior to the regular season.
The homo is a Ram..considering that Sam likes to Ram from behind makes this much more fitting
