WWE has invited the first openly gay NFL draftee Michael Sam to next Monday’s RAW from Baltimore and will give him an open mic. Stephanie McMahon wrote the following open letter to Sam on WWE’s website:
Exhibiting class and dignity rarely shown in professional sports, Michael Sam, WWE invites you to next Monday’s Raw to speak of your struggles to succeed, lessons you have learned along the way, the courage it takes to be yourself and the prospects of your continued journey.
You are a role model, who, by example, can encourage everyone to stand up and openly be themselves.
Signed,
Stephanie McMahon
CBO, WWE
