Ayanbadejo: Four Players May Come Out As Gay
Brendon Ayanbadejo, a defender of gay rights and same-sex marriage, says four current NFL players are considering coming out as gay.
Ayanbadejo was released by the Baltimore Ravens this week.
"I think it will happen sooner than you think," Ayanbadejo said. "We're in talks with a handful of players who are considering it. There are up to four players being talked to right now, and they're trying to be organized so they can come out on the same day together. It would make a major splash and take the pressure off one guy. It would be a monumental day if a handful or a few guys come out.
"Of course, there would be backlash. If they could share the backlash, it would be more positive. It's cool. It's exciting. We're in talks with a few guys who are considering it. The NFL and organizations are already being proactive and open if a player does it and if something negative happens. We'll see what happens."
