Solid Wiki/One Question

Hi there! I think you chose a very interesting topic as I think it is safe to assume that most of us rarely think about homosexuality in professional sports because its true that this notion of masculinity is so deeply embedded within this profession. Something I found quite shocking about your wiki was to find out that the first male professional athlete ever to come out as being gay only happened in 2013. I also liked how you were able to link both his (Jason Collis) and Michael Sam's wiki pages so that we could click on them if we wanted more information or if we were unfamiliar with who they are. One thing I'm wondering is if this notion of hegemonic masculinity has changed within professional sports and if since 2013 society/players have become at all more accepting towards their teammates' sexualities? I'm not sure if there is much research on this topic though. Overall a very solid wiki!
