This Saturday, the 90-minute documentary Michael Sam will premiere on OWN about the first out gay football player to be drafted into the NFL. The film will cover the NFL draft and Sam's on-screen kiss with his partner Vito, Sam's time with the St. Louis Rams and the media interest around his coming out and signing. A special Oprah Prime will follow the documentary including Sam's first interview since being cut from the NFL in October. Check out a clip below.
Michael Sam made history when he came out in February and in May became the first openly gay player drafted to the National Football League (NFL) when the St. Louis Rams signed him. Sam was cut from the Rams at the end of training camp and the Dallas Cowboys then signed him to their practice squad. He was ultimately waived and currently is not signed to any NFL team.
Don't miss Michael Sam on OWN at 9pm on Saturday, followed by a very special Oprah Prime at 10:30.
