NCAA Championship Review

Well folks, it is all over! A new NCAA Basketball Champ is crowned and that team is Duke Unviersity. Coack K and his Blue Devils capture their 5th national championship under the leadership of Senior Guard Quinn Cook from the DC area such as myself, and excellent freshman play of Tyus Jones, Justice Winslow an potential NBA #1 pick in the 2015 draft , Jahlil Okafor. Duke went up against a Wisconsin team that was coming off from defeating an undefeated Kentucky team and with their play under National Player of the Year, Frank Kaminski and Sam Decker.

"White Elephants" Real Sports With Bryant Gumbel Segment

Michael Sam Groundbreaking the Sexual Orientation Line in Football

Michael Sam, Defensive End of Missouri has announced yesterday that he is openly gay and looks forward to being drafted in the NFL in May. Sam, is an outstanding college player and won SEC Defensive Player of the Year. I don't have an issue with Sam being gay and playing in the NFL. Most likely, a decent percentage of NFL players are gay, but closeted and don't want to face the media and lockeroom problems. After hearing his interview, he seems confident in himself and is willing to face the negative taunting in the NFL. Times are changing and we must embrace everyone for who they are and represent . Best of luck to Michael Sam and his future  aspirations in the NFL, and homosexual professional athletes everywhere.
