Ex-NFL Player Michael Sam Involved in Heated Street Altercation Outside WeHo Club

WEST HOLLYWOOD, CA — Ex-NFL defensive end Michael Sam was involved in a heated argument with a man outside a West Hollywood club on Tuesday night.

The altercation happened outside Bootsy Bellows, where Sam was hanging out with a group of friends, including Magic Johnson's son, EJ Johnson, according to TMZ.

In a video posted to the site, Sam was heard yelling at man in a white T-shirt, "People like f---ing you give our community a bad f---ing name."

It was unclear what led to the altercation, but shortly after a few more profanity-filled exchanges, Sam got into a waiting car and left.

Sam refused to acknowledge the incident when TMZ caught up with him Wednesday night, saying he was upset about the season finale of the HBO hit drama, "Game of Thrones."

Sam was a star player for the University of Missouri. He was the first openly gay player to be drafted in the NFL.
