Miss California USA has us in a gay frame of mind tonight. We're man enough to admit that.
Given the speed with which gay marriage seems to be gaining acceptance (argue if you want, but the polls from four or five years ago and now don't look like they were taken in the same country), we're thinking of another barrier that might be broken soon: an openly gay active player in the NFL, the NBA, the NHL or MLB.
Granted, jock culture doesn't necessarily mirror the broader spectrum in a lot of ways, and testosterone by the gallon changes everything, but we still think it's going to happen. The question is, which sport? Numbers might make the NBA the likeliest spot -- fewer guys on the roster, not as many people would have to buy in and say it's not any big deal -- but our money's on baseball. Any thoughts?
