Just read this about David Williams, who stated that he appreciates his gay fans and "said he liked being a gay icon."
Which current, American MLB, NFL, NHL, or NBA sports figure would say that? A few years ago, Mike Piazza made sure to let everyone know he was straight, when questioned about rumors regarding his sexuality without adding that he might find it flattering that his appeal to fans of all stripes, who might wish he were like them. Here in the US, we have professional athletes denounce homosexuality as a sin against God. Now, I am sure there are Aussie ruggers who share those sentiments. Yet it is refreshing and hopeful, when players such as Williams or the British Ben Cohen, express their appreciation for us!
David Williams: Real Hunk!
