Michael Sam told Oprah Winfrey … he knows of other gay men currently playing in the NFL — and some of them have reached out to Michael on the phone to talk. Michael sat down with Oprah for a tell-all interview set to air on the OWN network this weekend after a 90-minute documentary focusing on his journey to make an NFL team as an openly gay man. During the interview, Oprah asks Sam … “Gay men in the NFL reached out to you and called you?” Sam nods his head “yes” repeatedly.
