NFL free agent Michael Sam has signed up to compete on Dancing with the Stars in March, according to TMZ:
Michael — the first openly gay player drafted in the NFL — will be part of Season 20, which fires up next month. Here's the problem. Sam — who insinuated he was cut from the NFL because he is gay — has vowed to get back in the league and said he'd take part in the first-ever veteran's combine on March 22.
We'll report on any developments as they come…
Sam told Sports Illustrated last week that he planned to continue trying to play in the NFL, saying:
"I'll give up the game when my legs are both broken. I'm a football player and I will keep fighting for my dream to play in the NFL."
