Michael Sam -- My Brothers Are Homophobes ... They Broke My Trophies

Michael Sam says he had to deal with homophobia right in his own home from the time he was a kid ... with his own brothers calling him the f-word "because I was different."

It's just the latest from Sam in his tell-all interview with Oprah -- scheduled to air this weekend -- in which the first openly gay football player to be drafted into the NFL says his brother would "Abuse me daily."

"They called me a lot of things. They called me a f**. They called me gay. They called me anything you could think of -- just to hurt me."

Sam says one of the most hurtful things they did involved an MVP trophy he received.
