It Takes Michael Sam's Teammate Just 8 Words To Shame ESPN For Their Coverage

If it doesn't bother the teammates, it shouldn't bother the sports networks.

Here's the scene: The St. Louis Rams are readying their roster before the NFL season to begin. Michael Sam, the first openly gay player to be drafted in the NFL, is working hard to keep his spot on the team. ESPN could cover a lot of things, but they decide to spend a lot of their time fixating on Sam's shower habits. So ,what else were his teammates to do but respond? Here's what Rams defensive end Chris Long had to say:

Dear ESPN,

Everyone but you is over it.— Chris Long (@JOEL9ONE) August 26, 2014

Damn, ESPN. I'd tell you to get some ice for that burn, but I only nominate my friends for the #ALSIceBucketChallenge.
