I've heard this topic brought up in other sports threads so I thought I'd start a new thread, specifically- which pro athlete do you think is gay?(Not that there's anything wrong w/ it!) Someone that is currently active in the 4 major North American sports leagues.
I know homosexuality in pro sports is a big taboo because of the detrimental consequences i.e. less endorsement, more physical/mental abuse. But I find it interesting because here you have these guys who are strong and macho- the epitome of 'masculinity'... yet you just know that some of them play for the other team. Some of them are probably switch hitters too.
My pick? Jeff Garcia. I know about his 'girlfriend' Carmen the Playboy model, but I don't buy it. I think it's just a front. Hell, I once worked w/ a guy who was 'married'- complete w/ wedding ring and all...yet I was always suspicious based on his mannerisms and that 'quality'. My suspicions were confirmed when I later found out (from his friends & co-workers)that yes indeed- it was just a charade. Maybe he did it to make his parents happy? Whatever the reason, you just know some ahtletes are just front'n too. Who would you suspect?
