President Barack Obama congratulated Michael Sam on Saturday for being the first openly gay football player taken in the National Football League draft, the White House said in a statement.
"From the playing field to the corporate boardroom, LGBT Americans prove everyday that you should be judged by what you do and not who you are," Obama said. He also congratulated the NFL and the St. Louis Rams, the team that drafted Sam.
Sam, an All-American defensive end who played for the University of Missouri, made history when he was picked by the Rams in the seventh and final round. He was the 249th of 256 players selected.
The 24-year-old got the news by telephone from Rams' coach Jeff Fisher, who told Sam: "You are a Ram. The wait is finally over."
Sam, who was filmed by ESPN as he got the call, broke down in tears in the arms of his boyfriend. "Thank you," he could be heard saying to Fisher....

Personal foul, spearing, 15 yard penalty, automatic first down.
Nothing “gay” about what he does. However, what I meant was he “is” a member of one of Obama’s pet grievance groups that is used to divide America.
They’ll never cut him now.
They just threw away a roster spot.
If a republican had said that they’d be ask the question, “what do you mean ‘do not judge on who you are?’”, it implies there’s something wrong with being gay - you’re a BIGOT!
This is the stuff President Jarrett keeps obama’s little mind busy with while ‘the powers that be’ engineer the destruction of America.
It’s obvious obama is glued to sports tv in between his teleprompter appearances. Consider the time he devoted to his brackets. Then, consider Sept. 11, 2012.
Best I can tell, all of the teams stayed away from Sam, but the Rams decided to take the politically correct road...on the next to last pick. Sheesh!
That's an excellent description!
Imagine how a player must feel knowing a fag was drafted ahead of them.
They crowned some trannie with a beard and mustache the winner of Eurovision this weekend.So surreal to see this man up there in a beard, dressed as a woman collecting his crown and flowers and knowing the ONLY reason he is winning is because our society is SO SICK and depraved.
You can feel the evil growing stronger in the world.
It's growing exponentially worse by the day, it seems.
" Yeah, I agree because his little mind is incapable of complex planning. His mental process is mono chromatic in a spectrum of colors and hews.
I'm sure he's had a lot of practice doing that.
True. Seeing the sickening kissing fags video makes me realize how much I detest what this country has become.
I’ll eventually quit watching the NFL over this crap.
Sam has a talent that Obama can appreciate and identify with.
The seventh round. Forevermore known as the 'affirmative action' round.
Next year someone will draft a gay dwarf of color.
You’re right on Sam never being cut. If he gets cut in pre-season, they’ll all throw a hissy fit (discrimination, Jeff Fisher’s a homophobe) etc. Or if he makes the team and doesn’t start, they’ll call that discrimination too.
Face it, the Rams are now STUCK with this guy. Only easy way out for them is if Sam has a career-ending injury.
I saw the nauseating photo of Sam kissing his boyfriend on the NY. Daily News sports page. I wonder how many heterosexual libs who think forcing homosexual behavior down the collective throat of America is a great idea felt the same as I did? I bet quite a few.
I’m gonna guess this guy gets his own shower and locker room
Sam the Ram.
Don’t Ram me Sam.
Sam Sam he’s our man/woman/it.
Then it’s straight (oh, the irony) to join the useless talking heads at ESPN.
