David Kopay's earth-shattering story, published in 1977, when he became the first NFL player publicly to acknowledge his homosexuality. After a ten year career as a running back for the San Francisco 49ers, Washington Redskins, New Orleans Saints and Green Bay Packers, Kopay became the first prominent male athlete in history to come out of the closet. Here, he reveals the conflicting emotional states that first prevented him from living openly and then drove him to the point of complete honest. As inspiring today as it was upon publication.

I agree with Kopay and some others in this book about how people's sexual preferences is a private matter and it shouldn't effect someone's job or rather they get a specific job or not. In a way he made me understand gays better and made me realize that gays are everywhere even in sports. I don't have a problem with gays, matter of fact I love gay people they are awesome and they seem to be funnier then straight people, I love people that can make me laugh and they sure do. I support gays and their rights completely, I don't see anything wrong with gays being together, if they love each other then just let them be. ( )
