The Last Bastion Of Overt Homophobia
-
Australian Rules football, perhaps as macho a sport as there is, is in an uproar over A$150,000 offers to players if they'll publicly come out as gay. This column is by a player who warns that gay players should stay in the closet for their own good and the good of the team. Yes, he brings up the shower thing. Can a player in a men's pro team sport come out while an active player? There IS the case of the rugby player in the U.K. who came out and discovered that everyone was cool about it, but how about other sports? Are we ever going to get past this? Thanks to Spencer Howson at 612 ABC/Brisbane for the link.
