Is there any gay NFL players?

Answer 1

I think only a few NFL players have ever openly stated that they were gay, and all of them after they'd retired from the game. It is unknown how many players in the NFL are gay, since male-dominated team sports tend be very homophobic, which forces players to stay in the closet.

I have spoken with a number of retired NFL players, recently retired. They tell me its well known who is gay and who is not and for the most part no one cares on the team if the dude is gay, he is only expected to do his job without

compromise. gay or str8.

Answer 2

There are gays in all aspects of society. It may be difficult to openly declare oneself a gay footballer due to stereotyped images but with more tolerant social attitudes, perhaps this will gradually change.
Yes, in fact, a bunch are.

Answer 3

More than likely. as for how many are not closeted gays probably a lot less than there really is. how many men would stop watching football if they found out their masculinity hero is gay?

A few probably and it would be some big story in the us because that's just what the media does. so the gays in the nfl probably keep to themselves.
