Gay former NFL player says there are many ‘semi-openly’ gay US athletes
Wade Davis, a defensive back who player for the Tennessee Titans, Washington Redskins and Seattle Seahawks, came out at the end of his playing career.
He said he thought there were already “semi-openly gay” players across some of North America’s major sports leagues, reports the Edmonton Sun.
“Openly gay is a bit strong,” Davis told the Daily Beast. “When we think of openly gay we think of walking down the street with your boyfriend but there are players who know that this player may have a boyfriend or may not date women and that’s just it.”
...
“One particular guy I know of keeps things very separate,” he said of one gay athlete he’s aware of. “But everything else that his teammates do he does. If they go to the Waffle House late night or if there’s a barbeque or a smoke session at someone’s house, this guy goes and just exists just like everyone else.
