I totally agree. As a kid in school I LOVED sports, loved the contact, loved the sportsmanship, and especially loved the showers after a game

Gay, straight, bi, whatever, I think mateship is an important aspect of developement. Unfortunately part of the code of mateship is that homosexuality is a betrayal of the trust given by others in the group. I think this is why usually only the retired sportsman are the ones to come out.

Good observation Chubbs
