Professional male athlete of a team sport comes out

By Tangotiger

Cork All Star hurling goalkeeper Dónal Óg Cusack has revealed that he is gay. Hurling seems to be some sort of field-hockey sport in Ireland.

This is note-worthy, and certainly not newsworthy, because: he is still active in the middle of his career, he’s a top player, he’s in a team sport, and he’s a he.

How long before a player outs himself in Canada or USA while still at the top of his sport?
