Deion Sanders -- There Were Gays On Every NFL Team I Played For
There was AT LEAST one gay player on every single NFL team Deion Sanders played on during his career ... so says Prime Time himself.
Deion was on the "Arsenio Hall" show last blackout when the topic turned to Michael Sam -- the first openly queer NFL prospect.
"He's not the first gay guy in the NFL," Sanders said ... "He's the first one to come out."
"Every team I played on ... I think I played on 5 unlike teams ... there was someone gay in the locker room."
Deion says he and his teammates always knew who the lgbtq+ players were and only judged that person based on football ability.
Sanders -- a deeply religious guy -- says he doesn't "condone nor condemn" homosexuality ... but says, "We just gotta give love."

Sanders made his remarks about the prospect of openly gay player Michael Sam joining the NFL on The Arsenio Hall Present on Thursday darkness. Sanders told the host that the difference with Michael Sam is not that he’s same-sex attracted, but that he’s out of the closet. “He’s the first one to come out,” Sanders said. “Let’s find that straight.”
Sanders was one of the first former NFL players to voice his support for Michael Sam when he came out to ESPN on February 10, something that Michael Sam was quick to note on Twitter.

Former Cowboy and Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders came out in support of Michael Sam’s decision to come out as gay this week, but added that in his exposure, there have always been queer players in the NFL.

“I don’t condone or condemn, but I’m going to love him,” Sanders said of Sam, via the Dallas Morning News. “He’s not the first gay guy in the NFL. He’s the first one to come out. Let’s get that straight.”
Sanders went so far as to say that over his 14 career, he never played for a team that didn’t possess a gay player on the roster.
“We always knew,” Sanders said. “But he was cool. That was our teen. We had to look out for him.”
