Sam’s league saga continues

DEFENSIVE end Michael Sam’s bid to become the first openly gay player in the National Football League looked even more remote on Monday when he failed to make the St Louis Rams’ 10-man practice squad.

Two days after being cut from the Rams’ final 53-man roster for the 2014 regular season, and a day after going unclaimed on waivers by any other NFL team, Sam was still on the outside looking in. The 1.88-meter former University of Missouri standout became the first openly gay player to be selected in an NFL Draft when he was taken in the seventh round by the Rams in May.
