So... the other draftees won't get mentioned in newspapers across the country? Not even newspapers in the states the teams are from? Not even in sports sections of the newspapers of the cities they belong to? Odd that this kind of thing wouldn't be mentioned by news agencies if the player had been straight. I mean... million dollar contracts signed by new players don't usually get mentioned. Wait... yes, yes they do. They get mentioned all the time along with other bits of their life stories that most don't care about. So nothing to see here, being gay is pretty normal. It's as regular a story as that of the player who went from rags to riches. No different than the story of players who get mentioned because they're also extremely intelligent. No different then the story of the guy who joined the military because he was a patriot. This is just another story of a perfectly normal thing.
it's only news because he's gay... no other reason.
