Just take the recent story of a ND linebacker being fooled or the four gay NFL players expected to 'come out' soon? It's a non-sports story and should be covered by E not ESPN.

And does anyone remember Wade Davis former Titan, Redskin and Seahawk? He came out and no one seemed to bat an eye.

Why?

Beacause it doesn't matter to the vast majority of sports fans who see a football player, not a gay or straight man no matter how hard ESPN and the media at large try to make it relevent.

Isn't the real story that people in the NFL would have an issue with an openly gay player and not the fans?

I don't think so. Unless they are somehow different than Boxing and Tennis Federations.

Billie Jean King/Arthur Ashe seemed to have no problems and that was 30 years ago.

Some might have a problem but they also probably disagree with interracial marriages. And 'they' are a extremely small percentage of the population IMO.

Arthur Ashe wasn't light in the tennis shoes. Where did you dream that up ?

on a side note...coaches have been screaming and throwing things at players forever. That **** was mild.

My swim coach stood poolside with a stack of kickboards during practice, and he was deadly with a head shot from about 20yds and in.

You clearly missed the comments by Chris Culliver during Super Bowl week.

Why do you think players come out AFTER they are out of the league? Coincidence?
