FILE - In this Jan. 17, 2012 file photo, celebrity chef Paula Deen poses for a portrait in New York. Deen says she relates to football player Michael Sam and his desire to avoid being labeled. In an interview with this week’s People magazine, Deen quoted Sam as saying he wants to be known as a football player and not a gay football player. The Missouri All-American Sam recently came out as gay. Deen told the magazine she understands his viewpoint and, in her case, worries the words &quot;embattled&quot; or &quot;disgraced&quot; always will be attached to her name.
