Michael Sam plays in first CFL game<\/b><\/p>\n

Yesterday, 7 August, Michael Sam become the first out player to participate in a Canadian Football League game. The defensive end for the Montreal Alouettes had no tackles in the 26-23 loss to the Ottawa Redblacks.<\/p>\n

‘I was focusing on my assignments, actually,’ Sam said, according to ESPN<\/a>, when asked about the impotence of the moment before kickoff. ‘I’m not going to lie, there were some big jitters out there, and I was nervous when I first got on the field. I didn’t get any opportunities to make many plays. I had some good pass rushes, I thought, but close enough is not a sack.’<\/p>\n

In 2014 the University of Missouri graduate was drafted by the St. Louis Rams, a National Football League team, in the seventh round. He was cut but picked up by the Dallas Cowboys as a practice squad player. He never made it to the team’s full roster.<\/p>\n

Earlier this summer, the Alouettes signed the defensive end to a two-year deal. During training camp, he left for two-weeks to deal with ‘personal matters.’<\/a> He sat out the teams’ first five games.<\/p>\n

Sam has split up with longterm boyfriend and fiancé Vito Cammisano<\/a>.<\/p>\n
