They were sitting in their dorm room late at night talking, not necessarily about anything deep or meaningful. Just talking, as people do at the end of the day.

They were Villanova freshmen, two guys tossed together by the fate of their college who would grow so close that even now, eight years later, they remain as tight as brothers.

And so that night as they talked casually, their friendship already on solid footing, Will Sheridan told Mike Nardi something he had only told a few people.

"I just said, 'I need to tell you something … I'm gay,'" Sheridan said.

"I'm gay."

Those two words are the last hurdles to be cleared in sports, the five letters strung together that critics insist would destroy a locker room and more, destroy the athlete who utters them...

I saw this on TV at one point during the day today. I found this to be good news. It doesn't seem like any athletes are out on a professional level.

Shit that was a long article, but major props to the guy, he sounds like he is uber-confident and smart and talented. Anyway, I thought it was interesting that most of his teammates knew he was gay but the coach didn't have a clue. And his Mom and especially his Dad had a hard time with it. Totally shows the generation gap.
