How did "____ is the first gay player" become so big recently?

I'm watching this story about Dusty Baker and Glenn Burke and Burke couldn't have been more open if he tried. I have no idea if baseball will have a "____ is gay!" type story anytime soon, but football and basketball certainly have had them. Have there not been openly gay players in the NBA, NFL, or college football?

Maybe open to their teammates but not to the public

Not open in the sense that they had a press conference to announce it

Blank space was just a popular guy

Because announcing it now gets you bravery awards and calls from the president. It's a pretty sweet deal.

Heteronormative shaming is why it is big

it wasnt that long ago that being openly gay would likely end your career in the entertainment biz.
