FCC Viewer Complaints About Michael Sam Kissing His Boyfriend

In May, Michael Sam became the first openly gay man to be drafted into the NFL. Seconds later, he became the first openly gay man to kiss his boyfriend after being drafted into the NFL. A handful of Americans complained about the latter; you get the sense they were just as upset about the former.

Through a FOIA request, we've received the indecency complaints received by the FCC regarding Sam's kiss (which also included some cake-smushing). There were 20 legitimate ones, a decent haul considering it was a Saturday-afternoon cable broadcast over which the FCC doesn't even have jurisdiction.


People have too much time on their hands if they have to send complaints about 2 people kissing on TV!!
