High School Basketball Coach Tells Players He’s Gay, Gets Hugs
New York Magazine ^ | June 24,2013

Your heartwarming story of the day: Anthony Nicodemo, the head coach for the Saunders High School basketball team in Yonkers, started to think about coming out of the closet after Jason Collins announced that he was gay in April. Last month, the 35-year-old went to an LGBT sports conference where he heard Collins speak firsthand. It was then that, despite his apprehensions about the reaction of his players and the risk of losing his position, Nicodemo resolved to finally come out. At a team meeting yesterday, he told a group of past and present players that he was gay. The players "literally embraced him," reports Outsports.

They also embraced him, less literally, on Twitter:

The three coaches at my junior high school (’66-’69) were so inordinately interested in looking at us that we frequently talked about it. One of them occasionally “inspected” us as we exited the showers. It was a little creepy at the time and now I’d consider it very, very inappropriate.

To the best of my recollection they never said or did anything that suggested availability for sex, but then if you weren’t the target you probably wouldn’t know about it.

I’m going to guess that his going to a LGBT or whatever it is to indicate they’ll do anything that moves pretty much answered any unanswered questions anyone might have had on the subject. Because I guarantee that he noted down the attendance at the conference for his continuing education requirements with the district.

So, gym teacher gay - big surprise.

"the risk of losing his position"

This line deserves some ridicule, but...

The parents of these kids can either pull their kids from his presence/school or accept the consequences when one of them gets assaulted.

Shunning needs to make a major comeback in neighborhoods.

People are doing what they are told. Corporations and peer pressure are making sure of it.

All people do. And then one day, they don’t. History always repeats.

Oh, isn't that touching? (Pardon my pun.)

So, moms & dads: are you okay with Coach Pudpuffer hanging around the locker rooms while your sons are showering?

Actually I’m beginning to think the whole world a little queer. Life is so different than what I had imagined it would be when I grew old.

“umm, coach why did you grab my ass?”

...and, coach, do you fantasize about me when you're home in bed?

What an effin joke! Too bad it's not funny. It's pathetic.

I’m there with you. As a retired coach, we’re all hired to be fired if we don’t win. This guy now will pull out the sexual orientation card if they try to fire him.
