Gay Sportsman Comes Out

The first active player in any major American team sport to say that he is homosexual has just announced the fact in print. Others have come out but waited until their retirement to do so.
When and why do you think any equivalent British player will do the same ?( "Why?" is more interesting than "When?")

I don't think it will be long either and likewise will probably do it towards the end of their careers and then make a lot of greenbacks off selling their story, writing books and appearing in 'Hello!' etc. It's not the desirable way for it to happen but it will be a path leader for other lesbians and gay men to come out in the sports world (particularly football) so it's ultimately a good thing.
No there's generally no comparison, it can go to far sometimes for some people and has resulted in a few deaths and suicides, but it doesn't equate to the bias gay or black people face. Wiki has a bit on it though:-
''A UK woman recently won an award from a tribunal after being sexually harassed and receiving abuse because of her red hair;[58] a family in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, was forced to move twice after being targeted for abuse and hate crime on account of their red hair;[59] and in 2003, a 20 year old was stabbed in the back for "being ginger".[60] In May 2009, a British schoolboy committed suicide after being bullied for having red hair.[61] The British singer Mick Hucknall, who says that he has repeatedly faced prejudice or been described as ugly on account of his hair color, argues that Gingerism should be described as a form of racism.[62][63]''

They already have but to less fuss over here probably because religion plays a lot less of a role in life than in the US.
Earlier this year, England cricker Teven Davis came out

Footballer Justin Fashinu came out in the 1980s.
