I would be stoked. That would be one more barrier down. There has been a lot of progress in recent years, but there is still a long way to go. If someone feels they might catch a lot of hate for it they might feel it unnecessary to come out. I'm hoping at some point some people will step up in different sports. They're out there, but when you're already in the public eye that much I can understand them not wanting to bring a ton of attention to themselves in that manner.

I feel the need to mention this. Watch what you say. You really never know who might hear you. You might not know things about the people around you. It really sucks when people around you even your "friends" say fucked up things.
We've made a ton of progress and that's awesome, but there is still a ton of hate out there.
