        @USATODAY why is this news worthy? Who cares if this guy is gay? More propaganda being forced on the American people.

        @USATODAY Really? This is breaking news? How about we reserve breaking news for, oh, I don't know, news?

        @elbowen @USATODAY it's important because he is the first NFL prospect to do so. He would be the first openly gay NFL player in history!
