Gay NFL Player Considers Coming Out

CBSSports.com's Mike Freeman reported a current NFL player who is gay is seriously considering coming out publicly in the next few months with the intention of continuing his football career. If and when this player decides to come out he would be the first such player ever to come out while still playing for a Professional team in a major American sport.

The name of the player was not known to Mike Freeman at the time he reported. "I honestly think the players of the NFL have been ready for an openly gay player for quite some time now," Scott Fujita, a free agent linebacker, told CBSSports.com. "Trust me, the coming out of a player would create much bigger waves outside the locker room than inside. The way I've seen the conversation around LGBT issues evolve, especially in the past few years, has been encouraging. Guys are more accepting than they used to be. Even those who raise personal objections to homosexuality, some of whom are good friends of mine, would still be able to coexist and accept a gay teammate."

Let's hope this coming out encourages others players to come out. STAY TUNED!!!!
