ESPN magazine has just published a college football preview. Inside its pages, Bruce Feldman and Ryan Hockensmith have surveyed 85 current college football players about the game as it currently stands in America.
The young footballers were asked if they had any gay teammates: ”Almost half of those surveyed (49.4%, to be exact) said yes, they believe they have at least one gay teammate. In the Pac-10, 70% of those surveyed said yes.”
While gay teenagers remain the highest teen group most susceptible to suicide, more needs to be done in this area to ensure we don’t lose young lives who struggle with sexuality and being different to the pack.
What a gutsy survey! Relevant. And whoever thought so many fags played football in America. lol! Nice one fellahs.
