Former NBA player John Amaechi's story about being a gay athlete on a professional sports team -- told in an upcoming book, an upcoming TV interview and likely several hundred interviews in the upcoming weeks -- sounds like a brave move. It was just as brave when former NFL player Esera Tuaolo told his story a couple years ago. And former NFL player Roy Simmons a couple years before that. All brave. And all "former." All waited until after their careers were done. Which might just be why their stories sound exactly the same, tell-all after tell-all. Especially the part where they believe that one day, hopefully in their lifetimes, a gay athlete will make himself known while active and be accepted for who he is.
