Doing that when you have just come out could be really difficult.
The way for this to happen is for an already established player, one who is already known in his locker room and by his fans, to come out. I am certain there are dozens of gay athletes in professional sports who could do this. We just need to find one who has the courage to be first and then it will never be a big deal ever again.
