Price talked to the Sun about this:

Quote:
Reached late in the afternoon, Price said he has no issue with Sam or that he’s an openly gay player but defended his own right to have an opinion on homosexuality.
“I wish Michael Sam nothing but the best and I hope he goes and has a fantastic career,” Price said.
“It’s nothing personal against him.
“People think I’m saying he shouldn’t be drafted into the NFL, or they shouldn’t have homosexual players. That’s not it at all.
“I was speaking about homosexuality in general. As a Christian, obviously it’s not something I can condone or accept.”
Quote:
“I’m not a homophobe,” Price said. “A homophobe is someone who can’t associate or be around gays.
“As far as practicing Christianity, it’s just something I believe in.
“It’s a sin. It’s no worse and no more than robbing or stealing is a sin.
“It’s not personal against anybody. But Twitter takes it and people put their own spin on it.
“What kind of person would I be to say I don’t think the NFL, or the CFL for that matter, should allow gay players?
“That doesn’t make any sense.”
Quote:
“We won’t have a problem,” Price said of the locker-room. “This type of thing has come up before. We’ll go back and forth and communicate and it’ll be over.
“It’s no moreso than politics or Kobe (Bryant) versus LeBron (James).
“What kind of world would it be if we agreed on everything?”
