Gay Nfl Player Considering Coming Out In Next Few Months.

[TomsSportReport]

"I'm told this player feels the time is now for someone to take this step -- despite homophobic remarks from San Francisco 49ers defensive back Chris Culliver and the controversy arising recently at the Indianapolis Scouting combine, when prospects were asked questions about their sexuality.

This player's true concern, I'm told, is not the reaction inside an NFL locker room but outside of it. The player fears he will suffer serious harm from homophobic fans, and that is the only thing preventing him from coming out. My sources will not say who this alleged player is.

There has never been an active openly gay player in a major American team sport, but the information I've gathered on the player in question comes from several current and former players."..

You have an actual link there, champ, or did you mean to send us to the CBS homepage featuring Geno Smith?

If the guy thinks he will suffer serious harm from homophobic fans, I guess that makes him a kicker.

Really good interview. Incredible insight.

And then this at the bottom:

Editor's note: An earlier version of this article contained a photo that incorrectly identified Wade Davis.

Oopsy. ... Was it a photo of someone else?
Or did they just misspell his name or something like that?

I think they are moths that regenerate every 28 days. Especially at night.

That sounds like PMS. The horror. The horror.

It was a picture of Richard Simmons.

Wasn't it Freeman who basically implied that Teo's big secret was that he was gay... he struck out on that one.

Count me as skeptical until there's a firmer report.

If the unidentified gay NFL player happens to be Tim Tebow, the Internet will explode into a million little pieces.
