That would be phony, I agree, if you flipped on the issue just because it's one of your players.
But the context was that the football team was being honored for their Cotton Bowl win, and the whole team was there I think, it's just that Sam got a big cheer when he was on the board and such. (That's what I got from the highlights, anyway)
So if someone was standing and cheering at that moment, that wouldn't be unusual. I think the way ESPN and others presented it might not have been exactly as it occurred. What I got was that if I had been there, I'd have probably been standing and clapping at that moment but not for Sam and his gayness, but for Sam as a great player in the team's football history and for the team in general
