Winnipeg Jets forward Blake Wheeler wore a “Rally Helmet” during the shootout against the St. Louis Blues on Saturday.
Former Mizzou linebacker Michael Sam was courageous in coming out on Sunday and unfortunately, there were people on Twitter that spewed their stupidity. One of them was a former Mizzou recruit and another was former NFLer Patrick Crayton.

The response was certainly not all bad and some NFLers, former and current, had some encouraging words:

Good for Michael Sam.. Hopefully this'll inspire others to be comfortable and proud of who they are

Had multiple convos with @MikeSamFootball this year, amazed at his honesty & courage! Once a tiger, ALWAYS a Tiger!

I'm so tired of hearing about who gay and who not. I could care less.
