The comments of the NBA players in the article show how immature these "men" are and why athletes don't come out to their teammates. Some NBA players set such low standards for their own behavior, the old Jailblazers and current Pacers teams come to mind, and consistently fail to achieve them! Many of the men in pro sports have been coddled and told they were special at a young age, they didn't have to follow all the rules, and grow up without the real world experience to understand the difficulties people face overcoming prejudice and close-mindedness. Good for John Amaechi, even if he is trying to sell a few extra books.
