It's fine that he came out how and when he did. He had a great attitude of wanting to 'focus on football' and such at the start. Downhill from there. The reality show was only nixed after the Rams organization said it was bullshit. He wouldn't have accepted cameras into his home for the draft if he wanted equality. He knew he was projected from round 4-7. They don't send cameras to those dude's houses.
I don't mind him kissing his dude. Didn't appreciate NFL network stickin it down my face, but Sam deserves to kiss his S/O as much as any straight guy. What I fault him for is saying he wanted to focus on football and then accepting the glory and adulation of being a 7th round pick. Literally... 7 picks later and he could have been "Mr. Irrelevant." I think ESPN reporting on his shower habits and such is the ultimate reflection of how faulty the media is in his coverage, but Sam totally bought into his own hype along the way.
