Sport in brief: 12/05/2014

NFL: Michael Sam was picked by the St Louis Rams in the NFL draft on Saturday, becoming the first openly gay player drafted by a pro football team.

Sam had to wait, and wait, being picked at 249 out of 256 and though he cried tears of joy once news came through of his selection, he felt he warranted being chosen earlier.

“From last season alone, I should’ve been in the first three rounds,” Sam said.

 

FOOTBALL: AC Milan players were the subject of racist abuse when bananas and a knife were thrown on the pitch in their 2-1 defeat to Atalanta.

Kevin Constant of Guinea and Nigel de Jong of Holland were the victims in yet another racist incident this year.

Barcelona’s Dani Alves was the target of a thrown banana last month which sparked a social media campaign of sports stars eating the fruit and saying no to racism.
