Recently we have seen a couple of professional athletes in the United States and around the world addressing their sexuality publicly. Athletes like Micheal Sam, Jason Collins and Brittney Griner have "came out" this past year and were celebrated for their tremendous courage.
Micheal Sam, Jason Collins and Brittney Griner were all excellent athletes in college and were drafted into the pro level of their respective sport. (I believe Micheal Sam would have been drafted higher if he did not "come out") Each of them was drafted solely because of talent and their performance at the college level.
Sexuality in sports has been a huge topic in our society today. In my opinion, a person's sexuality should not matter when it comes to playing professional sports. As long as an player can come in and contribute to a team in a positive way, that is all the matters. If I was a teammate of one of these player, I wouldn't care what their sexuality was or what they do on the personal time. So what is your opinion on sexuality in sports? and Does sexuality in professional sports matter to you?
