Following in suit with my last small post, I wanted to find another article that delved more into the struggles that athletes face when they are not able to be open about who they are. This article focuses on another former football player, and gives a little more in depth idea into some of the different events in his life that pertained to hiding his sexuality from others.
I picked this article in particular because I think that it shows the importance in accepting everybody, no matter how "different" that they may be. Thought it may take some getting used to at first for some people, there is no reason that homosexual athletes should not be able to be open about who they are while still being active in their sports, and not have to be worried about being looked down upon.
I hope you enjoy the article, here it is!
