TMZ is reporting one unidentified bisexual NFL player is unhappy with Michael Sam‘s recent comments about NFL players not being courageous enough to come out like he did.
The gossip site reports:
[The unidentified player] has played in the league for several seasons and says he’s open about his sexuality with close friends.
But when the player read Sam’s recent comments about gay men in the league — he was offended.
Specifically, the player was upset when Sam said … “I respect the players that did reach out to me and had the courage to tell me that they were also gay, but they do not have the same courage as I do to come out before I even played a down in the NFL.”
The player’s response — “As a bisexual man, I just feel like Michael Sam does not speak for all gay men.”
“He has his own opinion … but DON’T say that we don’t have the courage to come out. It’s totally wrong. Just speak for yourself. No one else.”
“It’s no one’s business what my sexuality is. You should like me for me … not for who I choose to be with.”
The player continued … “I feel the NFL isn’t ready for people to be open about it. Or the General Managers for that matter.”
Despite those opinions, the player says he believes Sam DID get a fair shot to make a team — “I just don’t think he performed well.”
