There are up to four [NFL] players being talked to right now – Ayanbadejo

“I think it will happen sooner than you think. 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.” Brendon Ayanbadejo

To many of us it seems like the fact that no NFL player has come out is quite surprising for 2013.  Just like skin color, sexual orientation doesn’t matter (and hasn’t) to most people.  What matters is the person themselves.  Whether an NFL player is straight or gay is not a big deal what matters is if they are a good person (and a good player of course is a bonus).
