Last week ESPN published results of a poll on several issues relating to out gay athletes in professional sports. Readers are split on the issue of having an out gay athlete and how it will affect their support of him. Interestingly enough, readers feel that Major League Baseball will be the first professional league with an out player.

What do you think of the results? Do you a baseball player will come out before a footballer does? Do you think it will take 5 years before we have an active openly gay player? Sound off below.
