Of course it wasn't as big a story. I doubt Jeffcoat would have kissed his boyfriend on ESPN had he been drafted, either. Point is, we get it - you want Sam to be treated the same. But the reason Sam did what he did was so that one day people like him COULD be treated the same. It's just not the case today. Today his situation is one of a kind and worth talking about.
And if this was not your point, I apologize.
