The fact that this sort of thing is in the news, speaks volumes about the media, and quite possibly the people they pander to.

It speaks volumes about your own prejudices. You honestly can't see how the FIRST ACTIVE PRO SPORTS PLAYER to come out of the closet is newsworthy?

Jesus, Takeda is right.
