Twitter Responds To Michael Sam Coming Out

Michael Sam is about to make history by becoming the first openly gay active athlete in a major North American sport (no disrespect MLS).

Below are the best and worst of the Twitter responses. Pay special attention to the call for Richie Incognito to be a teammate….
