Closet in the Locker Room

Lately, lots of people are talking about reactions to athletes coming out.

Frank DeFord has an interesting take on the subject. He observes that it's the fans, not the teammates, that are a threat to gay athletes. The bottom line, not team morale. His evidence? The lack of out movie stars. Acting is a very safe place for homosexuals - and yet because of financial reasons no major movie stars are out publicly, for fear they would stop making lots of money.
