Yesterday Michael Sam made history as being the first openly gay man to be drafted into the NFL. At his side was a mysterious man that Sam emotionally embrace and kissed after the announcement was made. Maybe some of you wondered who was this man, and maybe most of you didn’t even care. The truth is if that was Johnny Manziel at the draft who rushed to the arms of a mysterious woman and passionately kissed her then social media would’ve been buzzing and her picture would’ve been viral in 15 minutes flat while everyone tried to find out who was Manziel’s mystery woman.
Well, the only thing that went viral was a picture of Sam kissing his boyfriend, and it wasn’t because people wanted to know who the man was. It was because it was the first open display of affection from a gay NFL player. The intrigued was there because of the historic implications, not because the world was nosey enough to care about who Sam’s arm candy was.
Well, the man at Sam’s side is a former Missouri swimmer named Vito Cammisano. Cammisano’s pictures probably won’t be passed around like those of the girls you see dangling on Johnny Manziel’s arms at the clubs or AJ McCarron’s girlfriend, Katherine Webb, but with the amount of exposure the Michael Sam gets as a football player, anyone he’s romantically involved with should get as much as exposure as those other women.
