How NFL almost had its first openly gay players -- but chickened out

This is a really interesting read about the NFL and gay players. In case the link doesn't work, it's from the CNN website.

Thanks Bearlyy for that reference to Donal Óg Cusack. A great sports story, indeed!

Here he is (on the left) wearing an anti-prejudice chirt with another handsome guy who I don't know.

For me, what was really the most alarming part of this story was a comment that the NFL and NFL teams keep track of players' sexual "leanings," and that most of the teams that do this do so to avoid signing gay players. Sounds like some teams may be more homophobic than the players. I wish we new which teams are doing this so we could let them have it.
