I find it strange they do not say 'current' player there since a few former players have come out. 

He can't be the first current player as he isn't a player yet. Nothing current about it. I think they are saying "player" as in one who will actually be playing and not a former or ex-player.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Right.  I just think it is weird they are not being clear about that.  They just have to add one word.  Also we will see Sam has not made a team just yet, hence why it was courageous of him.

That article says "could become" that seems pretty clear that he isn't a player yet.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Yeah, I think, Valmy, that the sentence is pretty clear.

Fair enough.  I just know that after I first heard he was going to be the first openly gay player, I went and checked and saw that a lot of guys had come out after they played and I thought that was misleading.  But maybe that was just me.

Yes I never said that part was unclear.

Fortunately your chances did not significantly decrease.

I thought she was already out for some reason. Huh. Well. Lovely for her.
The one I'm really waiting to see is Tom Cruise.

Is it actually brave to come out 1)as a woman and 2)in 2014?  Will this affect her career in any fashion?

One day pretty soon, if not today, we're going to be surprised people still "come out."

Anyway, allow me to say, apropos of nothing, Ellen Page is dreamy.

75% (conservatively) of Hollywood casting is based on appealing to the male's audience sexual desires. Being lesbian sort of cuts on that fantasy.

I remember Anne Heche's carrer crashing after she came out. She was also a nutcase so that may also have played a part, but certainly coming out hurt her career a lot.
