An openly gay player in the NFL is not a distraction; CNN.com, 4/1/13

Chris Kluwe, CNN.com; An openly gay player in the NFL is not a distraction: "It's not right that professional sports, and especially the professional sports media, have created an environment where gay players are willing to hide essential components of themselves as human beings in order to pursue their dreams, in order to not be a distraction. It's not right that our insatiable lust for sports coverage creates an atmosphere where someone would willingly subordinate his life to a backward and bigoted worldview in order to stay employed. It's not right that we can't just accept someone for who he is."
