Former Ole Miss Guard Critical of Sam TV Coverage

Former Mississippi basketball player Marshall Henderson says ESPN's coverage of Michael Sam becoming the first openly gay player drafted by the NFL was inappropriate and that he is boycotting SportsCenter.

Henderson took to Twitter Monday morning using expletives to say that he would not watch the show until the network stopped running the Sam footage, adding ".... My brothers are 7 and 11 and saw that!!!."

The comment drew a quick and sharp rebuke from Ole Miss athletic director Ross Bjork, who responded on Twitter saying that he's "extremely disappointed & we do not condone the statements made by our former bball player. We believe in respect & dignity for all."

In addition to his long-range shooting, Henderson also was known for his brash and sometimes questionable behavior at Ole Miss.
