Pro basketball executive Rick Welts shook up the world of professional sports three years ago when he came out as gay. Welts was then president of the NBA's Phoenix Suns franchise and has since moved on to the Golden State Warriors where he serves as the team president and chief operating officer. Talking with KQED's Scott Shafer for KQED Newsroom about newly "out" college football player Michael Sam, Welts said he didn't understand the discomfort about having gay players in the locker room.
