This sounds like a monologue piece, or something from Weekend Update on SNL.
Michael Sam, the NFL's first openly gay player was cut by the Rams. Sam being average to below average talent soon found a new home in Dallas, leading many to assume the only reason he made an NFL roster was due to his public announcement of being gay. A notion some are calling preposterous.
In other news, around 200 players cut from various NFL training camps are publicly announcing they are gay.
