This is an interesting article by Sports Illustrated. Something that has always interested me has been the portrayal of homosexuality in sports. I've already mentioned this before in class, but having an older gay brother really opens your eyes to how homosexuality is perceived in different realms of society. I'm a huge sports junky and I can't think of a single openly-gay athlete outside of some NBA player who wrote a book about being gay (though I don't remember his name..). It's not surprising though how an homosexual athlete would want to conceal his identity in such a machismo-ridden world that is sports. I suppose the biggest problem really is the whole locker room etiquette, but maybe time will change this? Maybe not? Who knows but to me it's interesting to think about.
