I think when it comes to sports it is slightly different than in society. I personally could care less if someone is gay, if thats what floats their boats more power to them, doesn't bother me one bit. Would I want to be in a locker room knowing there is a possibility that a fellow teammate is attracted to me? That might make me a little uneasy...and no, I completely get not every gay guy is attracted to every guy just like not every guy is attracted to every woman but if I was showering with a girl I wasn't attracted to I'd still probably check her goods out! Tough subject in sports but more power to the guy for having the balls and not hiding behind who he is.

Agreed.

Who cares?

That lady on Good Morning America came out and nobody blinked an eye. It is a non-event.

Traditionally, majority of gays were always soft and "women-like" so when a sports player comes out it seems to be big news. Not sure why people care so much but I am sure ESPN and media will make a huge deal about it

Do you think a bunch of lesbians would have issue with a straight man showering with them in the locker room?

I think I know what you're getting at here

Im not a lesbian so I'm probably not the best person to ask but no I'm sure they wouldn't care. I'd be almost certain you could find a group of straight women who wouldn't want to shower with a lesbian though. Showering with a gay guy wouldn't be on my bucket list, that's why I said because of the locker room atmosphere in sports I do believe it is slightly different and can impact people's thoughts more than in normal society. Again I could care less, happy the guy is comfortable in his own skin.

The only problem I see is if the person couldn't take the ribbing or jokes or ball busting about it. I'm sure it would be very difficult, but if they could overcome that, then it would be good for everybody who comes out after them.

Agreed...arodgers and jmartin are good players and will be better when not trying to hide their sexuality

Shdw01 was having a rough time after he came out. I mean me, NES and the rest of the guys around here gave him a hard time, but eventually the MODS made us stop picking on him and he is fine.

If you are an NFL team would you want to draft this guy? Who wants all that media attention? If I were the other players on the team I wouldn't want the press crawling up my ass asking me what I think about it etc etc. Goodell will have a hand in this and tell the teams he doesn't want this guy dropping to the third round or below..

It will be interesting to see if the Refs throw a flag if maybe after he makes a tackle, he hangs on to the guy a little too long.
