will Ryan Braun be next?





For so long, David Denson desperately wanted to reveal to his baseball teammates that he is gay. He just never envisioned it happening in such impromptu and unstructured fashion.


A first baseman for the Milwaukee Brewers' rookie affiliate in Helena, Mont., Denson had just entered the clubhouse a month or so ago when a teammate jokingly referred to him using a derogatory term for a gay male. It was the kind of profane, politically incorrect banter heard in that environment since team sports have been around.
That teammate had no way of knowing Denson actually is gay, but the 20-year-old slugger of African-American and Hispanic descent quickly seized the opportunity.



"Be careful what you say. You never know," Denson cautioned the player with a smile.
Before he knew it, Denson was making the emotional announcement he yearned to share, and the group around him expanded to the point that he soon was speaking to most of the team. Much to Denson's relief, when the conversation ended he was greeted with outward support and understanding instead of condemnation.



"Talking with my teammates, they gave me the confidence I needed, coming out to them," recalled Denson. "They said, 'You're still our teammate. You're still our brother. We kind of had an idea, but your sexuality has nothing to do with your ability. You're still a ballplayer at the end of the day. We don't treat you any different. We've got your back.'
"That was a giant relief for me," Denson said. "I never wanted to feel like I was forcing it on them. It just happened. The outcome was amazing. It was nice to know my teammates see me for who I am, not my sexuality."

It will be interesting to see if this turns out to be a good move on his part.

It did not work out so well for Michael Sam.

However I'll be honest. I had no clue who David Denson was before espn released this news.

Maybe this will help him get to the Major Leagues faster.

It would be absolutely hilarious if he made it to MLB and then make an announcement saying he is not really gay.

Kind of like the Roberto Hernandez aka Fausto Carmona ordeal where he felt like he had to make up a fake name and fake age in order to make it to the Majors. Maybe this guy feels like he has to say he is gay to get attention and then the news and media outlets will put the pressure on the Brewers to send him up to the Majors.

For those unfamiliar with Fausto Carmona / Roberto Hernandez

Hernández was a regular part of the Indians' starting rotation for six years under the name of Fausto Carmona, which he had used to obtain a **** to pitch in the United States. After his true name and age were revealed (he had claimed to be three years younger than he is), he missed much of the 2012 season due to lack of a valid ****, followed by a suspension from MLB for identity fraud. He returned as a regular starting pitcher with the Tampa Bay Rays in 2013 and the Philadelphia Phillies in 2014. In mid-2014, the Phillies traded him to the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Will he receive any endorsements?

Maybe some designer furniture?

Seems worth it.

[Big Bear]

definitely worth it.

even if he is not gay. It's a way for him to get his name out there.

[lesterdymond]

This is a new media tactic by the illuminati for gay agenda of the world. Force homosexuality on everyone for acceptance.

DO YOU REALLY THINK HE'S THE FIRST GAY ATHLETE IN MLB HISTORY? Its been accepted for years but we don't have to talk about it every damn day.

Wake up everyone

[MoMoneyMoVaughn]

What exactly does the Illuminati have to benefit from a "gay agenda?"

Are they invested heavily in rainbow colored socks?

[jjgold]

It's all part of master plan

But... to do what???

[LT Profits]

I can't wait for the day when something like this is no longer deemed newsworthy. So guy is gay. As long as he could play baseball (or whatever sport). who cares?

The time will come when this is less of a story, but it will always be an issue for the ignorant.

Tori Hunter for one.

"For me, as a Christian…I will be uncomfortable because in all my teachings and all my learning, biblically, it's not right. It will be difficult and uncomfortable."

lets not forget these guys are forced to take group showers or they will be cut.

Than the problem lies with the narrow-minded homophobic teammates. If they don't like it, release their asses.

[t-bone]

Who fvckin cares!

[saints1856]

The Illuminati? Oh geez, every time there is a pyramid in society like on the dollar bill or in a rap video "Well, must be Illuminati"... Tell me Lester, when is this New World Order thing gonna go down??

To break down family structure and traditional values, a society without morals is easier to control. The Kazars(Jews) are a cunning, ruthless bunch, hey theyve gotten countries to let them print worthless paper money and lend it with interest, you can't get any craftier. The breakdown of America is happening before our eyes and many can't even see it, not that it wasn't already doomed before though. A decade and a half ago many were against stuff like this now everyone seems to he singing the same tune, "who cares" they say or "how is it hurting you" over a short period of time many have been brainwashed and are no longer bound by the tether of moral values they formerly championed. Nothing just happens its been planned for a long time and its easy to pull off when the people have no clue what is going on.

[tony_come]

If you ain't gay u ain't winning

[jtoler]

Rodgers will come out in 2018 I think.

[lesterdymond]

Yikes.

I dont think I see the connection between people without morals and them being easier to control.

It just feels like If A then C.

WHAT ABOUT B????

Most morals are bullshit though.
