The England wicket-keeper Steven Davies has become the first cricketer to 'come out'.

The Welsh rugby international Gareth Thomas revealed he was gay a couple of years ago.
I believe a film about him is being made with Mickey Rourke playing Thomas.
Will a top level footballer every openly admit to being homosexual?
Would it be treated with a "so what?" shrug of the shoulders by football supporters, as it has been by cricket and rugby fans?
In a radio debate a couple of years back (when Thomas came out) Ian Wright said that he once played in a team with 4 gay players in it, although he wouldn't divulge which team, so it doesn't appear to be an issue amongst the players.
Justin Fashanu revealed he was gay years back but only after his career had finished.
