we have discussed openly gay athletes coming out and we've even discussed
Jason Collins in the NBA Robbie Rogers recently came out
at with the LA Galaxy in the former obviously soccer
now we have an openly gay athlete that has amazingly and strong fully
come out in the former professional wrestling that Darren Young
is a teammate with titus O'Neil the
with the prime time players the actual actually was submitted
by CM Punk recently so
basically he was asked by AT&T the photographer slashed
reporter on what it would be like if an openly
gay athlete ever every wrestler came out as gay
and here was his response at LAX Airport I'm with every superstar and
to be honest review out to the right now I'm gay and I'm happy
night at work some people might not like you some people will like you
so I'm here please myself on you to be happy
I'm hoping im be able to make a difference you know
is very important to me that you know people understand that so
*** preference shouldn't really matter yeah should be about
hers he is so honest and so incredibly gracious with his response like
you know to be honest with you yeah i'm gay and it seems like he is just soul
he so about being respectful to himself
and being true to himself and he just came out now at 29 years old
to a TMZ report I dove anybody in the world
that was his coming out party I also love his mentality towards the entire
thing when he says
there you know some people gonna like it and some people won't whatever
as long as I'm comfortable with myself and I'm true to myself
that's all that matters and that's all that should matter to every
athletes ever not even athlete who might be gay
or or whatever obstacles they face in life mentally physically what have you
and not even in
the sports round but in the world as long as you're true to yourself and
you're comfortable with who you are
that's the most important part of all Darren Young is
look look he's a superstar in the WWE that amassed
about 659 million dollars just last year
in 2012 it is a corporation and even the WWE came out with a statement supporting
him and
and that is something that I'd II love I absolutely love it
the WWE came out and supported him but as long as you're true to yourself in
your being honest yourself and you're not lying to yourself
and you're comfortable with who you are that's the most important part not just
about
in this phase and section category what have you coming out
but just in life periods so now tMZ cameras caught up with John Siena and
asked him what he thought in this
he said that he even has an openly gay brother
any has he is 10 a family a
he is one of five boys in his family he goes on and says more with TMZ
my oldest brothers get and openly gay and the have a family of five boys
that's extremely tough
to admit that then he the is openly accepted by a friend I
you don't dare I know they are personally do it's great guy
and
that's a very bold move for him and congratulations for infractions fun with
you
for us and Tim and if you've been attending you shouldn't be judged by
race creed color or search throughout
as long as you're at it not-so-subtle sponsor so right there getting the
support from John C no right there then and there they dropped the bomb on em by
saying
you know Darren Young came out as gay he was so open to it that should be
our response that should be our immediate reaction is what John seen as
was authored that's great
that's wonderful you know good good for him that's it's a hard decision
for many people and yet he is the first
openly gay wrestler ever there have been other gay wrestlers
but he is the first open League a wrestle
now even Stephanie McMahon tweeted her her thoughts on this entire matter
here's what she said congratulations the daring young
for being the first openly gay WWE superstar
so now I ask you guys to chime in on Twitter whether he will be well received
not well received it's a male-dominated audience
for WWE so what would your response be
will be criticized or should he and will he
be accepted he responses on Twitter Thomas Ianni to separate from no one
should criticize anyone for their personalities and if they do it's sick
and pathetic I completely agree one paycheck 02 textron an industry like for
wrestling it's great to see an athlete comfortable enough to come out
especially with wrestling's reputation I completely agree with that as well
Brandon
hildebrandt Twitter first round I believe the iron sheets response to it
is the only important response
anyone that goes against it gets the camel clutch
I like that and I want to check all goes on this could be
the best thing for young in a career work tomorrow is a guaranteed
coming out may give him job security I don't know if I agree with that i mean
I E Jason Collins he's a free agent right now there's no job security at all
it's just its strong move a powerful an incredibly respectful move
no matter what sport it is ricardo band out we do that which drama takes a lot
of courage to come out
in that business I think Ill be welcomed with open arms by the way they're gross
is overrated okay thanks a lot
now the amount whichever some W W you still think it is
Martin's whichever from WWE so fake that nobody cares
nobody cares that I don't understand that I mean clearly there's a market for
clearly people care and clearly this is a big issues like
respectfully disagree with your opinion spar until Muhammad to its efforts from
well WWE put out a statement saying the product and then generally the business
has been working on their public image me cheat with efforts from your
young yeah any wrestler who goes against him is more likely to be exiled than him
when seen a speaks out for you you're safe saddam turning the discussion to
you guys still young at twenty nine years old is now the first
openly gay wrestler in the WWE what do you think
should he be accepted obviously heard my opinion
it's a simple and capitalize on honest yes
