Talk:Glenn Burke Hits a Homerun for the Gays, 1977

Reference link #1 seems to be mangled by copying a Google search result, certain unnecessary parts of which break the link. I believe the correct, direct URL would be [1].

THIS IS 2010 AND NOTHING HAS CHANGED. THERE ARE GAYS IN PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL BUT THE CULTURE OF HOMOPHOBIA IN THE SPORT SADLY KEEPS THESE PLAYERS LOCKED IN THE CLOSET. WHAT THE SPORT NEEDS IS A "GAY CURT FLOOD" TO SPEAK UP ABOUT BEING A HOSTAGE TO SPORT THAT ENCOURAGES CHEATING, LOOKS THE OTHE WAY WHEN DRUGS WERE BEING USED, AS LONG AS YOU WIN BABY

IT'S ASKING A LOT TO SPEAK UP, IT COST CURT FLOOD THE RATH OF NOT ONLY MANAGEMENT, BUT MANY PLAERS TOO. THAT DAY IS FAST APPROACHING

WHEN A BIG NAME PLAYER WILL COME OUT AND BREAK THE CULTURE OF SILENCE.AND I BELIEVE IT WILL HAPPEN IN A FEW YEARS, HOPEFULLY SOONER.
