I hope he's okay with being out and gay now that he's out of the league.<br /><br />That said, I think the NFL and professional sports in general have made such great strides in recent years to show that they're a culture of tolerance and acceptance. I really hope there will soon be someone brave and confident enough to step up and come out. It would be even more amazing if a group did it en masse, which would at least take the extreme spotlight off of only one individual. That was one of the suggestions on this outsports.com article's comments, and it really resonated with me: http://outsports.com/jocktalkblog/2012/09/11/pro-sports-are-finally-ready-for-a-gay-athlete/comment-page-1/#comment-80697<br /><br />Cheers,<br />NJNico Jayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07201515471866539244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3264013604678291388.post-34238058814558290182012-09-15T02:21:51.869-07:002012-09-15T02:21:51.869-07:00I befriended a gay former NFL gladiator who shared...I befriended a gay former NFL gladiator who shared what it was like and how terrified he was of being found out. I'm writing a psycho-thriller with a gay pro football player and was lucky to have him help me with a few details.

I haven't read very many gay athlete books, so I'll definitely be taking notes and jotting down recs. :)<br /><br />For me, I love looking into the emotional and romantic souls of these physically strong manly men. It's just very satisfying to see those hidden depths.

There's just something about two gay athletes and their disciplined bodies and minds that is so hot and sexy, right? My story in the anthology is about footballers, too, but European ones who aren't as muscly and have almost no equipment. Lol. There is definitely something to love in both.<br /><br />Hope you don't mind but I'l be doing a gay athletes posts this week as well - more focused on the gay athlete books I love. I swear I'm not copying. :)<br /><br /><3<br />K-leeK-lee Kleinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17282336893609747285noreply@blogger.com
