In Tuesday's press conference, at approx 9:40, a reporter told the story of a son and dad who together watched the drafting of Michael Sam, at which point the son explained that he was gay to his father. In reponse to this story, Michael Sam said ....
"I'm honored that I helped someone to be comfortable with who they are. To give him a little courage to speak to his father. But you know, I am very honored to have that happen to his son, but right now I am just looking forward to continuing on my dream, and if it inspires other people... hey, I am with you, and if anyone is not okay with that, as I said earlier, if someone disowned you, hey, be part of my family. I welcome you. Ram up!" (laughs)
