Real Talk for Hype Times
Kopay gives an antidote to Super Bowl week's nothing-speak
With so much unwanted attention right now, the University of Washington ought to be appreciating the guy who led the Huskies to the 1964 Rose Bowl. The entire game, frankly, could use a colonic. And while the treatment of gay athletes may not be college football's most pressing issue, Dave Kopay's involvement with UW's Q Center can't help but bring it front and center in the Great Northwest. (By the way, Kopay's email address is DavidKopay@hotmail.com.)
The week before the Super Bowl has been, per usual, consistently overblown — talk about nothing. In the third and final installment of our interview series, Kopay discussed a number of issues related to coaching. With the Rooney Rule being increasingly ignored, it seems a perfect time to ponder who gets to roam the sidelines wearing headsets and why.
There must be athletes at the collegiate and high school level who threaten to be so good they won't have to stay in the closet.
Last year I saw a high school athlete who I thought for sure will be a major star in the future. I think he's at UCLA. If I have any gaydar at all, I swear he is [gay].
What kind of reception do you think he's facing?
