Break out your Victorian shell dolls, it’s time for another Throwing Shade!

Then, Bryan picks back up with a campus talk given by Michael Sam, the first openly gay athlete to be drafted into the NFL, during which he candidly voiced his struggles within the league as well as the problems that LGBTQ football players continue to face.
