Gay former player encourages current gay players to come out

I would love if it was an All-Pro, dominating player. The controversy would last for a year, maybe early into the second year before the bigots had to admit that their team got trucked by a "queer".

Honestly, it would have a huge impact on modern American society, IMO. Sports, especially team sports, is one of the last places to where it's expected to keep yourself closeted. Have a big name player, or multiple players come out, and this will be a non-issue within 5 years, as it should be.

The players have said they're ready for it.
