Michael Sam, Vito Cammisano

Just days ago, Michael Sam and his boyfriend were seen celebrating the good news of the Rams picking him up in the seventh round of the 2014 NFL draft. The kiss seen round the world had many wondering just who was the man standing beside Sam. Details are surfacing about the mafia and port connections of the boyfriend of Michael Sam, the first openly gay player drafted by the NFL.

Sam’s boyfriend Vito Cammisano is the grandson of the late Kansas City mafia boss William Cammisano. The New York Daily News dug up an article about a 1980s Senate hearing that described Willie earned the nickname ‘Willie the Rat’ “because he killed people and stuck them in the sewers so the rats could eat them.” On the less severe side, he received charges of bootlegging and refusing to cooperate with a Congressional probe into the mob. He spent years behind bars for extortion and contempt of Congress before his death in 1995 at 80.

Apparently the mafia life stretches further into the Cammisano clan.

Willie The Rat’s son racked up charges for running an illegal sports operation that made $3.5 million leading to his 2010 arrest. He was sentenced to one year and a day in prison. Vito’ s father Jerry was also connected to the family business and received a sentence of 14 months in federal prison and slapped with a $200,000 fine in 2011.

Also Michael Sam isn’t the first high profile man Vito has dated. Gay adult entertainment star Austin Wilde took to his Twitter in what serves as a friendly reminder that he and Vito dated last year. Wilde, a popular porn star, posted a picture of the former couple laying in bed with a dog. He captioned the picture “Oh. Who remembers when Vito (Michael Sam’s boyfriend) and I had a thing.” The photo has since been removed with Wilde saying porn company Str8upgayporn broke the story.

Despite connections to the Mafia and the porn industry, Vito has stayed clear of those paths. Instead he became an accomplished college swimmer at The University Of Missouri, the same school as Sam.
