Hot Professional & College Sports Guys

[kgmets]

You make some interesting points KG. I am amazed how still today with somewhere between 10%-25% of the population being gay or bi, that we have so few professional athletes who have come out during their playing days. Wheres in other fields of public performers including actors, singers, authors and today politicians as well, we are beginning to have a representative proportion coming out but in the major professional sports in the U.S.A., (football, baseball, basketball and hockey), I am not aware of any current male players who are openly gay. Women are more open particularly in the WNBA and other sports. But male professional sports are lagging way behind in gay liberation. But I'm sure in time that will change too.

You are quite correct that the problem is more in male than female sports. When I played high school football, it was unthinkable to admit to having gay feelings even though we were all patting each other on the butt after any excuse for a good play. God help any player who popped a boner in the team shower, although I very successfully would only get half hard which gave me credit from my teammates for having a big dick as being half hard does make it look bigger! But I did not have my first male to male experience until after college and felt socially compelled to date and fuck girls until then, mainly blow jobs from female cheerleaders (whereas today my attention is more focused on the cute male cheerleaders). I was aware of my then bisexual attraction, but felt it unthinkable to get it on with a guy. Fortunately things evolved for the better in my 20s once out of college. In male sports today those who come out tend to wait until after they retire, which tells a lot about how far male sports still have to go in terms of sexual orientation equality. With that background you can see how strongly I think about young jocks sorting out their sexual orientation either consciously (as I did) or unconsciously using the escape mechanism of sublimation, the channeling of same sex attraction into socially accepted ways.

That sucks. Yes KG. I will definitely repost them tomorrow.

As for your other points I totally agree. Yes. Some of my pics are chosen to be deliberately funny and unserious. Others more thought provoking in one way or another. But I am just trying to entertain.

Your pics are much appreciated, and I look forward to your reposts tomorrow!

I love reading about your prospective KG as a young athlete who hid your same sex desires from your teammates and apparently from yourself to a certain extent. I always knew that I liked other boys from my earliest memories so I never had that perspective.

On the subject of male professional athletes who have been openly gay, it is indeed a very short list, and often revealed at the end or after their careers ended. The first I can remember was David Kopay, who in 1977 wrote a book describing being a gay athlete. According to an article in The Advocate in 2013, [Kopay] wrote a book about coming out and he got blacklisted by everyone and couldn't get work in the industry anymore and it was kinda sad, but he went on to work for his family flooring business".

In more recent times we had Michael Sam. This is a breif description from Wikipedia. "Michael Alan Sam Jr. is an American former professional football player who was a defensive end. Sam played college football for the Missouri Tigers and was drafted by the St. Louis Rams of the National Football League in the seventh round of the 2014 NFL draft. Sam was a consensus All-American and the Southeastern Conference (SEC) Defensive Player of the Year as a senior at Missouri. After completing his college football career, Sam publicly came out as gay. He became the first publicly gay player to be drafted in the NFL. The Rams cut him during the final preseason roster cutdowns. He also spent time on the Dallas Cowboys' practice squad before being waived. He signed with Montreal before the 2015 season, and became the first publicly gay player to play in the CFL."

My only other memory of an openly gay professional male athlete in a major sport is Jason Collins who was 34 at the end of his career, and shortly before he signed with The Brooklyn Nets, he wrote this article in Sports Illustrated. This story appears in the May 6, 2013, issue of Sports Illustrated.

I'm a 34-year-old NBA center. I'm black. And I'm gay.

I didn't set out to be the first openly gay athlete playing in a major American team sport. But since I am, I'm happy to start the conversation. I wish I wasn't the kid in the classroom raising his hand and saying, "I'm different." If I had my way, someone else would have already done this. Nobody has, which is why I'm raising my hand.

My journey of self-discovery and self-acknowledgement began in my hometown of Los Angeles and has taken me through two state high school championships, the NCAA Final Four and the Elite Eight, and nine playoffs in 12 NBA seasons.

I had forgotten that Jason had a twin brother named Jarron Collins.

From my recollection these are the only ones who came out. I would think that thousands of gay or bi guys played in MLB, NFL, NHL and NBA but only a small handful have come out. So while gay acceptance has jumped leaps and bounds overall in my lifetime, in professional male sports it has only crept a few steps. Thanks KG for leading me to posting my thoughts on this subject.

On a different note, I also was thinking about the two University of Nebraska wrestlers who were kicked off the team when it was revealed that they did solos on a gay porn site. Here is an article from Outsports in 2008.

College wrestlers on gay porn site

By Jim Buzinski Aug 10, 2008, 4:06pm PDT

Giving new meaning to Big Red, a campus website that covers the University of Nebraska has discovered that two of the university’s wrestlers have strutted their stuff on a gay porn site, including an NCAA champion. From The Scarlet Project:

The Scarlet Project has obtained photos from an anonymous source of University of Nebraska 125-pound national champion wrestler Paul Donahoe (photo left) and 133-pound wrestler Kenny Jordan (photo right) depicted on a gay pornographic website. Both video and photo, capture the duo undressing, showering and masturbating, among other graphic actions, for the website fratmen.tv. According to its licensing, fratmen.tv is based out of Los Angeles.
Fratmen.tv touts itself as the site for “college jocks and naked straight men in high-quality Quicktime and Windows Media on-line video. ...”

"Our Models are all young, hot, athletic men in solo action, most of whom are exclusive to our site, so you won't suffer from, the 'Been There, Seen Him' syndrome. We take great care to make sure our models are stunning and our content is of the highest quality ... no grainy video with bad sound and static shots of a guy on a couch watching porn."


The jocks went by the names "Cal" and "Nash" on Fratmen, according to a reader who sent us the tip. But the profiles appeared to have been yanked by the site.

Head coach Mark Manning released this statement to the website: “We are aware of the matter and it is being reviewed internally. We will have no further comment until all of the facts of the situation are known.”

Donahoe is 22 and a senior, and won the 2007 national championship at 125 pounds. He also was charged earlier this year for disorderly conduct at a party where his blood alcohol level tested at .122, well above the state limit of .08. Jordan is a junior and two-time Illinois state wresting champion.

The Scarlet Project shows images they say were taken from fratmen.tv, but inserted smiley faces over the best parts. In addition to whatever discipline could be meted out by the university, the pair also face possible NCAA rules violations if they received compensation for their “services.” The site is clearly making money off of them -- a month's membership goes for $24.95. -–Jim Buzinski

Update: Days later, the wrestlers were kicked off the team.

Feb. 2009 update: Paul Donahoe unbeaten as wrestler at new school.

And being that Broke Straight Boys is a gay porn site, here is some of the "hard" evidence of their indiscretions. lol

The next time you see pics like this of college wrestlers, now you know what is under those singlets. lol

Thanks KG!

And in my previous post I mentioned that hardly any new pics have been added to photo sites for the last year because of Covid. Of course I meant to say this last year was 2020. But I misspoke. Given that we are still in January of 2021 some of us still slip up and think of last year as being 2019. Oops. haha

Thanks Mikey for the post and those pics of the two wrestlers who got outed. I remember that controversy well. Paul Donahoe and that pic of him in the shower has been kind of seared into my memory for years. In a very pleasant and welcome way! It almost took my breath away the first time I saw it posted in a larger size here in the forum many years ago. Thank you for that walk down memory lane!

As to your other points, you are spot on about gay pro athletes in particular still being closeted and fearful of coming out. I'm guessing the locker rooms and showers in pro sports are still a very homophobic and unwelcoming place for gays or bi's to be out. (Regardless of how well they behave and don't do anything to make their hetero teammates feel sexually harassed or their fragile hetero masculinities threatened.)

But it's also a multi-faceted issue with no single answer for the continuing homophobia. Gay and bi Olympic, pro and even college athletes in the closet still have great concern as to whether they can eventually get (and keep!) the potentially tremendously profitable endorsement deals for companies and their products. Most of us are old enough to remember the hell Greg Louganis went through when he came out back in the seeming stone ages, when it was still very much frowned upon by society at large. Wheaties didn't want his picture on their cereal anymore. Other commercial sponsors dropped him. It was a tough time.

That having been said, there are more Olympic athletes who have been coming out more frequently in the last 10 years or more. There was at least one other swimmer besides (and before) Tom Daley. I'm just guessing, but I think that the male Olympic swimmers are probably the second gayest group worldwide. I think gays are over-represented in that segment of athletes to a degree that might surprise people. of course I think probably the largest subset and highest percentage of gay males in the Olympics are the male figure skaters.

There was also another former NFL player who came out after he retired. He was a Black guy, lighter skinned, with a smooth and very unique sounding name. But I'm drawing a blank right now. After he came out he talked about how he had to be a team payer and support his teammates in order to bring no shame or suspicion onto them or their brands And even how he felt forced to go to the titty bars and strip clubs with his teammates, get lap dances and all that. When he had zero interest in it of course. But he had to fake it.

I remember all of them well along with a gay umpire who was driven out of the game when his homosexuality was discovered. What I really do not understand is how two identical twins with the identical genetic DNA can be one straight and one gay?

I also remember those two Nebraska wrestlers very well. They were truly the real deal in actual college wrestlers who showed wood in their singlets and did something about it thereafter! Oh if they only did a scene together for Broke Straight Boys back then! But how they were treated was horrible as was the gay scumbag who outed them and destroyed their lives. I'll bet that a straight wrestler who did a solo jerkoff scene for a straight porn site would not have been so awfully treated!

Ironically, Olympic male figure skating is probably the gayest Olympic sport and Olympic male ice hockey the most homophobic. So it is not the skates which cause sexual orientation!
