The following is an open letter by Stephanie McMahon to NFL player Michael Sam concerning WWE’s invitation to Sam to appear on next week’s 9/8 WWE RAW in Baltimore, courtesy of WWE.com:
Exhibiting class and dignity rarely shown in professional sports, Michael Sam, WWE invites you to next Monday’s Raw to speak of your struggles to succeed, lessons you have learned along the way, the courage it takes to be yourself and the prospects of your continued journey.
You are a role model, who, by example, can encourage everyone to stand up and openly be themselves.
Signed,
Stephanie McMahon
CBO, WWE
