In an age where sexuality has been a knack in front-race of existence, it is imminent to put aside all sentiment and not overlook the stars- sports and movie alike, being pampered by preferential treatment. Since Justin Fashanu committed suicide in 1998, eight tumultuous years after admitting to being gay while at Leyton Orient, the atmosphere has since changed. A look at the demography does not really support the way the subject plays. In Africa, it is impossible for a homosexual to come out as the law does not support the trend of homosexuality. Robbie Rogers of LA Galaxy FC came out after leaving Leeds of England. Eventually, the game will be the real deal in a hostile environment, or even just the fear of letting fans know who they really are is depriving football of that talk and maybe the talent.
