SportsFilter: The Friday Huddle:
A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.
Dunno if it is FPP worthy but it was a real interesting article . It is obviously something that everyone who has ever been on a sports team has joked about and having been in college and HS football locker rooms, I can understand the fear these players would face. Gay athletes have always been tabboo but never for any real reasons other then a perception of what a football player/athlete "should be" Macho, tough, meatheads that could not possibly be gay.

A high school football player faces criminal proceedings for a head-butt during a game. There is sentiment that the player's 3-game suspension was sufficient, but evidently the victim's parents and the court system did not agree.

Sportsnet's self-proclaimed "peerless prognosticator" for CFL games talks about the differences between NFL and the CFL injury reports and how that affects betting habits.
While I'm amused at how Lefko serves as yet another conduit for Randall "The Handle"'s betting information, what I'm more interested in (as an informal survey among SpoFites) is who actually plays real money on the CFL? And who plays real money on the NFL? Other sports?
