Being gay in the NFL been very taboo for a long time. I think NFL is a bit more macho than most US sports and was pretty shunned upon. Been many Gay players but this is no doubt the first openly gay going intot ehNFL on live TV. I'm proud of him and hop ehe has a good career. I just hope he can ignore te crap he will get from morons on gameday.

Edit: I couldn't think of a way to say it without starting another argument, so I just won't at all.

I agree, it should not have to be, but if you need a bit more controvercy just check out the winner of the eurovision songcontest.

A man drafted into the nfl. End of "story."

Nothing new here.

No one really needs to know who he chooses to sleep with.

I guess if you are gay and have an agenda to push on everyone, this is news for you.

Not the same kind of thing as first black president, first woman vp candidate, etc.

THAT is newsworthy.

But in a generation whee people gain lasting fame for selling tapes of themselves in the midst of indiscretion, who knows what gets you you 15 minutes anymore.
