Teammates & Coaches Knew of a Gay NFL Player Last Season, Didn't Care, According to a Report

The other column is from Jason Whitlock at Fox Sports, who dives right into the bizarre Kerry Rhodes situation, and asks an important question (which we’ll get to in a minute). If you’re unaware of the Kerry Rhodes online kerfuffle, great; if not, I’ll preface it all with these words from Britney Griner, who said it best earlier this week to Sports Illustrated: “Being one that’s out, it’s just being who you are.

Now, to Whitlock’s point – Rhodes turns 31 in August. The Cardinals released him in March. He’s a free agent.
