Did Michael Sam's Sexuality Hurt His Chances in the NFL?

Michael Sam, a top drafted player in the NFL, has recently announced that he is gay. I believe he should be allowed to play in the sport and who he is intrigued by shouldn't effect the real purpose of being drafted, his talent. I think that if the NFL actually had common sense they would realize if he wanted to harrass men in the locker rooms, he would've done that already. Since that is one of their main concerns. Michael coming out I think will probably change peoples views on him because thats just how ignorant people are, but I also think it could possibly bring him a bigger fan base because people will respect him more because he was brave enough to come out and state to everyone he was gay.
