Gay former player encourages current gay players to come out

Who cares? What does being gay, black, indian, spanish, oriental, married , single , divorced, baptist, catholic have to do with playing a game. This is all irrelevant to playing football. Why must everything always have to point to some "underlining what if he or she is .............insert hot item" . It has absolutlely no barring on if you are a ball player or not; no one really cares and if they do its their problem.
