Entertainment Weekly:

Michael Sam, who made history when he became the first openly gay football player drafted into the NFL, is getting his own documentary series.
Oprah Winfrey’s cable network OWN announced a series following Sam as he prepares to play pro ball. The show will be produced by Craig Piligian and Emmy-nominated filmmaker Amy Rice (By The People: The Election of Barack Obama), who also made OWN’s recent candid Lindsay Lohan docu-series.
From the release, the as-yet-untitled show is described as “a deeply personal, up-close look at the remarkable man at the center of this groundbreaking moment in professional sports, as the former University of Missouri football player enters the competitive world of professional football. Cameras will follow Sam as he works to earn his spot on the St. Louis Rams all while under the intense scrutiny of being the first openly gay player in the NFL.”

It sounds more like a reality show than a documentary. And for somebody who said he wanted to “focus” on football, this seems like an unnecessary distraction, to both Sam and the Rams.
