Dennis Rodman Encourages More Gay Athletes To Come Out (via NESN)
You know you can’t go too long without seeing Dennis Rodman’s name in the spotlight.
This time, Rodman is touring the country while promoting his upcoming ESPN 30 for 30 special “Dennis Rodman: For Better or Worse.” And in a recent interview with the Associated Press ahead of the premiere, Rodman detailed his long-time support for the LGBTQ community.“One of the things I was proud of the most back then — I actually brought the gay community to the forefront for sports because of the things I was doing,” Rodman said.
Only one NBA player, Jason Collins, has come out as openly gay while playing in the league, but Rodman believes there are many more that haven’t revealed their true selves.“I just think that percentage-wise in sports, I think there’s a lot . There’s probably more bisexual than gay in sports. I’m sorry guys, to expose everybody. I wish all of them would come out. It’s acceptable today. Just come out, man. Have a good time. Enjoy yourself.
