Gays in sports: On the field -- and in the closet

When I was 7 years old, my friends and I would play football in my backyard for hours, often with my mother watching through the kitchen window. One of the games we played was called "smear the queer." At the time I didn't know what "queer" meant. I only knew if you were brave enough to pick up the ball, you were "the queer" and would get creamed.

As I got older, I learned what that term meant, and then, in high school, I realized that I was gay. But that image of how "the queer" got "smeared" stayed with me. I ultimately realized my goal of becoming a professional football player, but being open about my sexuality while I was a player seemed far too dangerous to consider.

Recently, in a television interview, LZ Granderson, a journalist who has been honored for his efforts to combat homophobia in sports, called closeted gay professional athletes "chickens." He's not alone in demanding that athletes and other public figures divulge their sexual orientation and other aspects of their personal lives. But as someone who was closeted during my time in the NFL, I'd suggest it's not always that simple.

There is currently a movement to make it safer for athletes to be open about their sexuality. I've gladly and wholeheartedly lent my voice to this work and will continue to do so. But I think every athlete is entitled to make a personal decision about whether or not to come out.

Coming out, or as I like to say, "inviting in," is an individual process that requires a level of safety and security. In women's sports, a number of gay athletes have disclosed their sexual orientation, including tennis champion Amelie Mauresmo, basketball great Sheryl Swoopes and soccer star Megan Rapinoe. It was interesting how little fallout there was from those announcements. But I suspect that women's sports fans are more accepting, in part because of misguided societal notions about femininity and masculinity.

I don't believe another athlete would try to harm a gay male athlete, but professional sports is still full of people happy to express their disapproval of homosexuality, and coming out requires a supportive environment.

Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban was cavalier in an interview several years ago with a reporter in which he predicted what would happen if an active gay professional athlete were to go public. "From a marketing perspective, if you're a player who happens to be gay and you want to be incredibly rich, then you should come out, because it would be the best thing that ever happened to you from a marketing and an endorsement perspective."

That kind of speculation is cheap, but it it's not so easy to prove. Moreover, the idea that money or post-career fame should be the motivation for an athlete to come out is misguided. Any athlete who takes that step should do it because it is good for him or her personally. A second consideration might be that the revelation would be good for society and good for sports. Going public primarily for financial gain could well lead to disappointment, and it would certainly rob the movement of heart and truth.

There is a lot of talk about how gay athletes need a Jackie Robinson to break down the barriers. But let's remember that Branch Rickey, the legendary Brooklyn Dodgers executive who signed Robinson, didn't do it solely to improve race relations. Rickey believed that signing Robinson would bring money and welcome attention to the organization. Manager Leo Durocher said it best: "He can make us all rich. And if any of you cannot use the money, I will see that you are all traded."

I understand the hope that some brave athlete in one of the "manly" sports will come out and that this will transform sports culture, redefine our notion of masculinity and inspire millions of gay athletes battling the perception that gay men can't play sports. But that's a lot of hope to hang on a single act.

Transformation is likely to happen more slowly, and it's important that during that process, advocates of equality don't create their own form of oppression by bullying or calling out gay athletes who have chosen not to go public about their sexuality.

The reason I came out and joined this movement was to advocate for all athletes, including those who choose to remain silent. Before judging them harshly, try walking a mile in their cleats.

(AP) ? Ted Ligety won a duel with Marcel Hirscher in a World Cup giant slalom Saturday for a career-best fourth victory of the season in his specialty event.

The 28-year-old American skied cleanly in the fast-fading light to take the victory after first-run leader Hirscher of Austria made a mistake on the dark slope. Ligety was second after the first run, but finished 1.15 seconds ahead of runner-up Fritz Dopfer of Germany in a combined time of 2 minutes 28.67 seconds.

"I was definitely gifted it by Hirscher today because he would have beaten me by a good margin," Ligety said. "But I have gifted him a lot of races in the past also. I guess that's ski racing."

Ligety, who earned his 15th career World Cup victory ? all in giant slalom ? is third in the overall standings.

He celebrated with a small punch of his left fist after taking the lead on a course where he had never finished in the top three. He watched Hirscher's run on the giant screen in the finish area.

Hirscher, who won the GS at Val d'Isere, France, where Ligety placed third, led at every check point until losing his racing line a few gates from the finish and placed 16th.

"I took too much risk," said Hirscher, who won the only GS race that Ligety failed to claim this season, at Val d'Isere, France. "For 99 percent of the race, I was extremely fast. It's great to see that I can beat Ligety."

Felix Neureuther of Germany was 1.24 back in third. It was the first time Germany had two men on a World Cup podium outside their country.

"It's a special day for the team," Neureuther said. "Ted is for sure the best GS skier in the last few years and he will be in the next ones."

Dopfer and Neureuther were eighth and ninth fastest, respectively, in the morning and enjoyed better racing conditions than Ligety as the sun slipped behind the mountains.

Hirscher retained his lead in the overall World Cup standings. The defending champion is 26 points ahead of Aksel Lund Svindal of Norway, who placed sixth on Saturday.

Ligety was rewarded for his acrobatic recovery in the morning run when he had skied wide at the top of the steep final slope.

"I made one really big mistake before the pitch right here and was out in the powder," Ligety told The Associated Press after the first leg.

American teammate Robby Kelley scored his first career World Cup points, finishing 23rd, 4.29 behind Ligety.

Six of the 30 second-run starters failed to complete the undulating course, which tests racers' balance on rolling terrain used as cow pastures in the summer.

On a difficult day for home racers, Olympic GS champion Carlo Janka skied out early in the first run. World Cup debutant Elia Zurbriggen, whose father Pirmin was an Olympic and overall World Cup champion in the 1980s, lost a ski and also failed to finish.

Ligety joined an illustrious winner's list at the Adelboden giant slalom, which was one of the first World Cup races to be held in January 1967.

"It's one that all of our ski heroes have won," said Ligety, who follows greats like Jean-Claude Killy, Ingemar Stenmark, Alberto Tomba and Hermann Maier.

Sunspot unleashes intense solar flare

The surface of the sun erupted in a solar flare early Friday, unleashing a blast of super-heated plasma into space.

A huge sunspot known as AR1654 produced the M1-class flare at 4:11 a.m. EST, officials with NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory said in a description of the event. The SDO spacecraft is one of several sun-watching space telescopes keeping tabs on solar flares and other sun weather events.

According to Spaceweather.com, sunspot AR1654 is growing more active and is now "crackling with M-class solar flares" like the one that erupted today.

"AR1654 is getting bigger as it turns toward Earth," the website reported. "Not only is the chance of flares increasing, but also the chance of an Earth-directed eruption. This could be the sunspot that breaks the recent lengthy spell of calm space weather around our planet."

The sun is in an active phase of its current 11-year weather cycle, which scientists call Solar Cycle 24. The sun's activity cycle is expected to reach its peak (or "solar maximum") in 2013, astronomers have said.?

The most powerful solar flares, X-class flares, have the most significant effect on Earth. They can cause long-lasting radiation storms in our planet's upper atmosphere and trigger radio blackouts.

Medium-size M-class flares can cause brief radio blackouts in the polar regions and occasional minor radiation storms. C-class flares, the weakest in scientists' three-tiered classification system, have few noticeable consequences.

Wall Street ends flat as rally slows, earnings eyed

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Stocks ended little changed on Friday as investors took a step back from buying ahead of next week's busy corporate earnings calendar.

Overall earnings are expected to grow by just 1.9 percent in this season, according to Thomson Reuters data. Analysts say that, with the bar low, there's room for companies to beat expectations, and that may have contributed to the rise in stocks so far in 2013.

That rally has slowed in the last few days.

"It's a market that is waiting for more of a catalyst from earnings," said Quincy Krosby, market strategist at Prudential Financial in Newark, New Jersey.

The S&P 500 index has gained 5 percent over the last two weeks to take the benchmark to five-year highs.

Wells Fargo & Co set a weak tone Friday after it reported results. It showed lower fourth-quarter net interest margin - a key measure of how much money banks make from loans - even as profit jumped.

The bank, which was the first major financial institution to report results this earnings season, also made fewer mortgage loans than in the third quarter.

Wells Fargo ended down 0.8 percent at $35.10, off its lows for the day, while bank shares weighed on the broader market. The S&P 500 financial sector index fell 0.3 percent after rallying more than 1 percent on Thursday.

Bank of America Corp , JPMorgan Chase & Co and Citigroup Inc are due to report results next week, as are other major companies including General Electric and Intel .

An agreement reached in Washington at the start of the year over the "fiscal cliff" saw investors in U.S.-based funds add $7.53 billion to stock mutual funds in the week ended Jan 9, the most since 2001, data from Thomson Reuters' Lipper service showed.

"The money poured into the market at the beginning of the year and you're going to need new money to bring this market higher," said Krosby. She said that in the short-term the market has a bias toward moving higher, even though it is overbought.

The Dow Jones industrial average gained 17.21 points, or 0.13 percent, to 13,488.43. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index dipped 0.07 points to 1,472.05. The Nasdaq Composite Index added 3.88 points, or 0.12 percent, to 3,125.64.

For the week, the S&P and Dow both gained 0.4 percent and the Nasdaq rose 0.8 percent.

Boeing weighed on the Dow after a cracked cockpit window and an oil leak on separate flights in Japan added to problems with some of its Dreamliner 787 jets, compounding safety concerns about the new aircraft.

The U.S. Department of Transportation said the jet would be subject to a review of its critical systems by regulators. Boeing was the biggest loser on the Dow, falling 2.5 percent to $75.16.

Best Buy rallied after its results showed a small turnaround in U.S. stores, though same-store sales were flat during the key holiday season. Its shares jumped 16.4 percent to $14.21, making it the best performer on the S&P 500.

Dendreon Corp surged 21 percent to $6.17 after Sanford C. Bernstein upgraded the drugmaker's stock to "outperform" from "market-perform" and said it could be one of the best performers in 2013.

Volume was below the 2012 average of 6.42 billion shares traded a day, with roughly 5.93 billion shares changing hands on the New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq and the NYSE MKT.

Advancers outpaced decliners on the New York Stock Exchange by 1,578 to 1,393, while advancers narrowly outnumbered decliners on the Nasdaq by 1,228 to 1,223.

NBA: Dallas 117, Sacramento 112 (OT)

Published: Jan. 11, 2013 at 1:11 AM

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 11 (UPI) -- Shawn Marion and O.J. Mayo both hit two free throws in the last 22 seconds of overtime Thursday to wrap up a wild 117-112 Dallas victory over Sacramento.

The Mavericks ended a four-game losing streak and won for just the second time in 12 games.

Dallas appeared headed for another setback when they fell behind by nine points early in the fourth quarter, but the Mavericks went on a 22-8 run that gave them a five-point lead with 58 seconds to go.

Sacramento came back to tie it, however, when Isiah Thomas hit a 3-pointer with 9 seconds remaining.

The Mavericks led by three in the extra period when Marion hit his two foul shots with 22 seconds left. Tyreke Evans brought Sacramento back within three and Vince Carter then went to the foul line for Dallas.

Carter, however, missed both attempts to give the Kings a chance to tie it. Thomas then misfired from 3-point range and Mayo boosted the Dallas lead to five with 8 seconds left by making two from the line.

Mayo had 24 points and Marion scored 19 with both players pulling down 10 rebounds. Carter came off the bench to add 23 points and Dirk Nowitzki had 17.

DeMarcus Cousins scored 29 for the Kings and Evans chipped in 20.

Notre Dame football: Recruits respond to Kelly news

James Onwualu's phone lit up following a SportsCenter update with news he couldn't have anticipated.

The wide receiver, who's committed to Notre Dame and set to enroll at the end of the week, read an ESPN report that had Irish head coach Brian Kelly interviewing for the same position with the Philadelphia Eagles.


That was the beginning of an active night for Onwualu's phone. He reached out to a couple Irish coaches and fellow commits to find out the truth.

As of late Wednesday night, he didn't have many answers. He and his fellow commits used a private Facebook group to talk about the breaking news.

"I haven't heard from everybody yet, but the communication is there," Onwualu said. "There's still not much out in the public. I've talked to a couple of coaches and some people have talked to a couple coaches, but really not many people know what the truth is and what's really going on."

While information was in short supply, Onwualu said the news wouldn't affect his plans to enroll early after graduating from Cretin-Derham Hall in St. Paul, Minn., back in November.

"I plan on being there in 72 hours and I'm sticking to that," Onwualu said. "I'll be on campus and we'll see what happens."

Onwualu is one of six recruits slated to relocate to Notre Dame this weekend for the spring semester.

Linebacker Alex Anzalone, offensive lineman Steve Elmer, tight end Mike Heuerman, wide receiver Corey Robinson, and quarterback Malik Zaire are also scheduled to arrive on campus as soon as Friday or Saturday.

The timing of Kelly's possible move couldn't be worse for recruits who are days away from tying their futures to a school. Most of those early enrollees remained quiet on social media, with one recruit declining to comment on the news during a phone call.

Other members of the nation's top-ranked class according to Rivals.com and ESPN voiced their strong commitment to the program regardless of whether Kelly leaves the Irish.

But Kelly's absence would almost certainly create other holes in the coaching staff and leave recruits with a tougher decision before February's national signing day.

Below are reactions from four Notre Dame recruits and one Irish recruiting target:

-- Devin Butler, cornerback commit, @DevinButler_7:

"I committed to a program and school.. Not a coach #GoIrish." "But I doubt he leaves"

-- Jaylon Smith, linebacker commit, @JaeeSmiff9ENT:

"Hope Kelly doesn't leave." "If Kelly leaves!!!!!,,,,, I'm still a domer S/O to my ND fans"

-- Eddie Vanderdoes, uncommitted defensive lineman, @EddieVanderdoes:

"I doubt Kelly leaves..it's just like the recruiting process gotta cover all your bases. #Business"

-- Doug Randolph, linebacker commit, @DougRandolph7:

"I committed to notre dame for the total experience. Not just coach Kelly. I hope he stays but there is way more to ND. #bleedblueandgold"

-- Jacob Matuska, defensive end commit, @moosey2taasty:

"ND is more than just about one coach it's the tradition and community that's why I committed I hope coach stays but ill still be #irishmob13"
