In case you’ve been living under a rock the last couple of days: college football star Michael Sam came out in The New York Times on February 9, which means he’ll likely be the first openly gay NFL player ever next season. Most people—including Sam’s coach, teammates, alma mater, and the President of the United States—are responding positively. HURRAH!
But, there are detractors. And Jon Stewart—reigning king of talk show liberals and my heart—had some choice words for them on The Daily Show last night. Just watch. This is great television.
