Gay NBA Player

You knew that it was going to happen sooner rather than later in pro sports. An "active" NBA player has come out as gay.

The question I have is this? Why did he wait until now? At 34, a free agent, and a vet of 12 years in the NBA, you wonder if this is a ploy to be signed in order to play just one more year in the league?

Gay players are really nothing new. I remember the old Houston Oilers had a wide receiver who was homosexual. After the game interviews, the post-meetings, he would meet his boyfriend in the hallway with the rest of the player's wives and girlfriends. The WR played a number of years with teams other than Houston. No one "outed" him and as far as I know, he could play football and that's all anyone cared....
