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!!!.'' After a flurry of backlash, Henderson sent another tweet less than an hour later saying ''Im sorry, but I DO NOT AGREE WHATSOEVER that should be shown to where innocent eyes can see!!!'' The comments 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. He said a friend who is a psychology major asked him to send the comments to see ''how people react when others say things or act a certain way against another group of people.'' Henderson, known for his long-range shooting at Ole Miss, also is no stranger to controversy.
