Is this topic sufficiently noteworthy to merit an article? Royalcourtier ( talk) 03:19, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
While the topic of homosexuality in sports is a valid one, the specific homosexuality in football" article does not meet the standards for its own article. This belongs has a part of the main topic.

There was a recent revert on Goodell's statement, changing "sexual discrimination" to a generic "discrimination." His exact quote was "Discrimination and harassment based on sexual orientation is not consistent with our values and is unacceptable in the National Football League." This is a specific statement on sexual discrimination, not a blanket statement on all discrimination. The edit summary on the revert was "Rv. It's not about sexism. Why would you revert to it being about sexism?" Perhaps the confusion was due to the Sexual discrimination page currently being a redirect to Sexism? I would suggest the wording be changed back to "sexual discrimination" to accurately reflect Goodell's statement. Any issues with the redirect should be handled at Sexual discrimination, not by altering the statement here.— Bagumba ( talk) 00:12, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
We have several statements about the "first publicly out" player. I don't object to the inclusion of these players, but I am not sure we should be qualifying them that way. Just because they may be the first players to get coverage for being gay, does not mean they are actually the first "publicly out" players. others may have been publicly out before but just not attracted notice. The gendraeu source specifically discusses that that was his situation, so who is to know there aren't others. The articles are making no claims as to "first" but merely "first noted". We should no be adding with WP:OR Gaijin42 ( talk) 15:56, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
I'm having trouble figuring this out, and I hope this is the right place for it.
Theodore Lisoski, who plays Cornerback for the Portland Pit Bulls, came out recently. However, that seems to be the only article about this, and there are no articles about the Portland Pit Bulls, nor their league, the Pacific Football League. The league is Semi-pro, which may be part of why.
My big question is, can Theodore be added to the "have come out" list, or is he "not notable enough"? Farfromunique ( talk) 05:15, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
I think he is notable, he may not be an NFL player, or play for NCAA D1 teams,but he does play semi-pro football for at least 4 years.
