I'm surprised it took this long to get out.

It was fairly obvious the league was calling around trying to get someone to take a flyer on him. I truly don't think the teams cared a ton that he was gay, more that a ton of press around a 6th/7th round type draft pick is weird/distracting.

same shite happened a few years back with the military guy who would avoid service if he was drafted. there were reports teams were avoiding him b/c they didn't want the media focus for a likely marginal player (and the backlash if he didn't work out)
