Michael Sam's boyfriend

Michael's boyfriend will get tired of being called "that white boy" lol. Does he have a name?

I hope he knows the next step is for him to get pregnant with a biracial child so he will not have to work once they break up.

Next will be reality show with Mantasia, Kevin Lanflisi, and the rest of the gay NFL concubines!

Michael's boyfriend, get it gurl!

His name is Vito Cammisano

Cammisano, who swam for Missouri from 2009-2012, came out as gay in 2011. But since it’s not football or basketball, hardly anyone outside of Columbia noticed. Here’s Cammisano in a Feb., 2014 article in the Columbia Missourian, talking about Greg DeStephen, a gay swimmer who came out in 2008.

He created an environment wherein Missouri swimmer Vito Cammisano came out to the team in 2011 and says he experienced zero anti-gay sentiment.

“I’m completely appreciative that Greg did everything he could to make that possible for people that came after him,” says Cammisano, who swam for Missouri from 2009 to 2012.

nice pic of vito and michael at link

Cammisano is currently an intern at Cumulus Broadcasting.

what's interesting is that not one girlfriend or wife of NFL draft prospects was shown rubbing her man's bicep while he was speaking to the team owner/mgr - THE most important call of his career to that point. The boyfriend looked like a dramatic, hovering queen doing that while Michael Sam was trying to take the call. and then he's bent over, crying loud etc. then, Michael Sam smashes cake in his face like they're at their wedding reception. TOO dramatic. It's cool that he got drafted but these moments on film will come back to haunt Michael Sam. the countdown begins.

by Anonymousreply 78May 12, 2014 6:06 PM

Maybe this topic needs its own thread, but why does it matter if Vito is Italian instead of black? Why does that automatically make Michael self-loathing or ashamed of his race? As far as we know it's a consensual, non-abusive, committed gay relationship portrayed positively in the media for the first time ever in the sports world, why can't we just be happy for them?

Isn't the goal for race not to matter? Isn't the goal to not give a shit what other people think and accept everyone? Isn't it possible they just fell in love without thinking about each other's races? And if they do have a type, who cares? A lot of people do.

Is Michael Sam supposed to date someone less driven or successful or athletic or in his mind attractive just so he can satisfy your racism? Vito was another athlete (swimmer) who came out so they had common, shared experiences.

I'm not any less proud of Michael Sam and his accomplishments because he's black. I identify with him because he is gay, not because of his race. I am happy for and proud of any out gay man who is successful.

You can't have it both ways and say white guys are racist to not date black guys but then when they do you attack the black guy for being self-loathing.

You can't argue that race shouldn't matter and then make such a big deal about an interracial relationship. That seems racist to me.

Is Austin Wilde even black? He looks mixed if anything to me.

Michael Sam and Austin Wilde do not look exactly the same at all so you can't say Vito fetishizes black guys. That's like saying all black guys look the same.

And even if Austin is black or mixed, why can't an Italian guy be attracted to a guy who is black?

If Vito was the one going into the NFL and someone said, "Ugh I can't believe he's with a black guy," the thread would be FFed and deleted in minutes.

I swear it's just as racist to attack interracial couples if you wouldn't have a problem with them if they were the same race.

If you make fun of a white/Italian guy for being attracted to a black guy that is racist. There is nothing wrong with being attracted to a different race. Isn't the goal to not see color?

Vito may be a fame whore or a bottom who likes bigger guys with big cocks but he is not racist like some of you.

R126 That's the point! Austin is clearly mixed if anything not 100% black. Their skin tones are miles apart. Vito is basically as dark as Austin.

Like when people say Obama is not the first black president because he's half white or Halle Berry doesn't count as a black Oscar winner because she's mixed. Someone is only black enough when it benefits your argument that someone else is racist.

So much racism around here this week from black people.

Fuck off r127, you want to get out your DNA kit and check for black percentage points in Austin? You look black in this country, you get treated accordingly. Don't get it twisted.

by Anonymousreply 128May 15, 2014 5:03 AM

And Austin Wilde doesn't look black at all to me. That's the point. It shouldn't matter what race they are.

Why is it ok to go after Vito for being attracted to black men when Austin might not even be black at all?

You want to attack an interracial couple when Austin Wilde might be the product of one. It makes no sense why some racism is acceptable to you and not other racism.

Why can't this just be about the first gay NFL draft pick? Why does it have to devolve into race baiting?

Oh give me a break [R125/127] its clear he likes black guys. Whats the issue with that. WTH cares how black someone is, Austin Wilde is mixed yes but the common denominator here is that they're both black. And newsflash you cant always look at someone and tell they're clearly mixed. There are different shades of african american people that are 100% black. Like it or not most people are judged by what they see first and that;s skin color.

I have no issue with Vito liking any guy of any race or of mixed race. I was not the one who made the comment about having a problem with white guys being attracted to black guys. That was R124.

And you just contradicted yourself several times R130.

You say first impression is all that matters but my first impression of Austin Wilde was that he was white.

Then you say there are different skin tones and you can't always tell. I agree with you there, but then you say the common denominator is they are all black. Everyone probably has SOME black somewhere in their heritage.

But you judge Vito for liking black guys when Austin Wilde does not look black while at the same time admitting all black people do not look alike and you can't tell who is mixed.

I have no idea what Austin's racial makeup is and it doesn't matter to me. You all are the ones making a big deal about it. I'm just calling it out for what it is: racism.

If you want racism to end you need to stop making such a big deal about interracial couples.

But Austin Wilde DOES look black, maybe a light-skinned black but still black. Just like Halle Berry still looks black even though she's light-skinned.

by Anonymousreply 134May 15, 2014 5:45 AM

R134 I think he looks black too, although definitely mixed.

by Anonymousreply 135May 15, 2014 5:51 AM

I agree that Halle and Obama look more black, but Halle has stated in interviews she was bullied in school for not being black enough and Obama has said he has been criticized for not being the first black president because he is mixed.

That's cool you think Austin looked black at first glance. I didn't. The difference is, it doesn't matter to me what his race is. I think he's attractive no matter what his race is. I also think Michael Sam is attractive, but I'm not attracted to Tyler Perry or every black guy or every white guy on the planet. I'm attracted to Hugh Jackman and Idris Elba and Harry Connick, Jr. I am not attracted to Vito but that's not due to his race.

It's about chemistry, not race for me, so it's insulting and racist to attack an interracial couple or someone who is attracted to a person of a different race.

by Anonymousreply 136May 15, 2014 5:52 AM

[R133] I'm sorry but you must be blind or pulling our leg. At first glance no one could possibly say that Austin Wilde is white, if he's not black the next guess would be mixed. And he does not look like Vito, cmon! The point I was making was that Austin Wilde could have been 100% black as well, its called being light skinned. African Americans are not a monolithic group, you'll be surprised whose mixed and whose not. And I never judged Vito and Michael, I only said he obviously liked black guys. The common denominator between the two is that they're both black even if one is mixed, Austin has some black in him not just some, half. This is not going back generations looking for some black, one of austin's parents is black. Period. That is all I said and that's the only post Ive made in this thread.

Harvard African-American studies professor Henry Louis Gates continues on with his interest in ancestry testing, providing some updating for the preliminary data in my 2002 article. Gates writes:

* According to Ancestry.com, the average African American is 65 percent sub-Saharan African, 29 percent European and 2 percent Native American.

* According to 23andme.com, the average African American is 75 percent sub-Saharan African, 22 percent European and only 0.6 percent Native American.

* According to Family Tree DNA.com, the average African American is 72.95 percent sub-Saharan African, 22.83 percent European and 1.7 percent Native American.

* According to National Geographic's Genographic Project, the average African American is 80 percent sub-Saharan African, 19 percent European and 1 percent Native American.

Presumably, the National Geographic project is trying harder than the commercial projects to get a representative, non-self selected sample, so that sounds like the best set of numbers to use as a rule of thumb.

By the way, the notion that African Americans are about 1/5th white was an assumption of physical anthropologists back around 1950. DNA testing has just confirmed what your lying eyes tell you.

* According to AfricanDNA, in which I am a partner with Family Tree DNA, the average African American is 79 percent sub-Saharan African, 19 percent European and 2 percent Native American.

And for our African-American male guests, there has been still another astonishing fact revealed about their paternal ancestry -- their father's father's father's line -- through their y-DNA: A whopping 35 percent of all African-American men descend from a white male ancestor who fathered a mulatto child sometime in the slavery era, most probably from rape or coerced sexuality.

Thanks R139. Now that it's clear that all black people in America are only on average at most 80% black, we are all mixed to some degree and it's only going to diversify further.

It's time to stop the us vs. them, light skinned vs. dark skinned, black vs. white, interracial couple shaming because all of us have interracial couples in our family tree somewhere.

Quit giving people shit about being attracted to other races/skin tones. It's you who is racist, not them. Judge ppl on their soul.

The comments on the Sam bf are all very interesting.

It shows that still, even in 2014, a black/white gay pairing is still controversial. Asian/White and Latino/White are normalized, but Black/White is still so taboo. Which is extremely sad.

Lawd you're stupid. Besides the fact there are guys with two black biological parents who look like Austin, black is still black no matter the skin tone. On the converse, what would you think of, say, a black guy who exclusively dates white guys but at least tries to change things up between Swedes and Italians? Would you excuse him from suspicion of fetishising white guys because blonds and dark-haired/olive-skinned men look nothing alike? White is still white.

Michael Sam could have done a lot better, and not just because Vito is a white Italian boy. He was with a pornstar? Sorry, but if this hits the mainstream media, it won't do him any favors.

R151 I don't think it's going to which is kind of weird to me. It's been too long, it would have been picked up already. Quite a few of them ran with the 'mob connections' story but are not touching this one. Not one publication reported it.

by Anonymousreply 152May 17, 2014 3:05 AM

R152

Good because it's ridiculous.

The weird thing is people posting on these two without even going on their actual social media! They have been together on and off for years, you would know that if anyone bothered to read the NY Times article on Sam where he mentions he came out to his team whilst he was dating a guy on the swim team. Another thing mentioned is that he took his friend from the swim team to meet his family 2 years ago in Texas.

But if any of you actually interested in gossip, would read the boyfs social media where a friend states that she is so happy after all these years that these two can be open.

And lastly, in what universe did people think Sam would take some guy he has been with for only a few months to the draft call? Like are we so prejudiced?

Sadly to think the white boyfriend is more important then his background as a Mafia kid says too much about our society.

That's probably true R161.

I have gay male friends who are black and they said how they mainly stopped sleeping and dating white men because too many of the are like that where they want them only because they're black.

I thought it was common knowledge that Vito was once with a guy that did porn? But I don't read the articles about them.

I don't care if someone has relatives who were in the mob but I wouldn't want to be with someone who was with a porn guy, or who did porn.
