Gay ex-Rutgers college football player says stress of staying in the closet forced him to retire

You are making an assumption here. What makes you think he didn't hear plenty of homophobic comments from teammates in general, so he didn't feel confident they would accept him if he came out?

I've been playing sports my entire life and there're still plenty of anti-gay attitudes being expressed among athletes. I used to make plenty of joking comments myself, failing to recognize that while I didn't actually have any issue with people being gay, I was being pointlessly insensitive to them without even knowing it. I don't do that anymore, but lots of folks still do.

So maybe what really sucks is that society, while improving a lot with the current generation, is still not very accepting of people who are different from us?
Why are you questioning him, he clearly knows what’s best for someone who is multiple demographic groups removed from him.

Come on man

Horrific NIL Numbers

I should have been clearer.

People who think NIL is causing some great inequality are foolish.
There was already a grest inequality.

Correct. NIL actually has the opportunity to level the playing field because there are no institutional barriers for any school.

If they wanted an actual level playing field in college athletics (which they dont) then look at media revenue or AD donor funds.
Both of which cause a much bigger uneven playing field.

It relates to the inequity between Indiana and non-OSU/Oregon/Cult teams this year. But yeah, does it relate to the fact that OSU or Oregon is going to win the B1G 9/10 times? No.

At the end of the day, I guess the question is, do we want RU overperforming to the tune it currently is, or to the tune of being an Iowa?

Radical move that MIGHT be our best lineup..


I guess in your mind all 4s have to be super athletic like Ace? This isn’t the nba

word is Lathan has an outside shot, has some handle, can drive/ pass. And with his size why couldn’t he play 4, for Rutgers, in 2024? If he shows the skills he apparently has

Some analysis, to supplement the snark, would be appreciated
