After years of only finding out professional athletes were gay after they retired or had contracted AIDS, the "macho" world of professional sports -- players and fans alike -- could be forced to face that "one of their own" is a gay with news that Atlanta Falcons fullback Ovie Mughelli has just been outed by an ex-lover. Although the details are ugly -- terms like "hus money" and "jilted ex" pop up all over the post -- and assuming it's true, something still tells me this could be a very (non-HIV) positive step for the LGBT population as fellow players realize it's not just ex-girlfriends who can go nuts on your ass when you sign a $20 million contract. QUEER JOCKS, THEY'RE JUST LIKE US!Friday, January 08, 2010

As a gay male, I find the situation sad. Any time people are hurt and they go public with such hurt things seldom turn out well for any of the parties involved.
no truth to it and when it is all said and done it will be an angry female ... trust me
