Mason Darrow was in a slump. The freshman offensive lineman for the Princeton Tigers had made it into a couple of games in the 2013 season, but his practices one defining week in early November were a mess. He was slow making calls and his feet were stuck in the mud.
His racing mind was getting in the way of his performance with internal questions he was increasingly tired of answering.
Walking to the sideline after a particularly poor play, Darrow's head hung low. The strong breeze of autumn brought a chill, the sun setting behind the rainbow of oak and maple trees lining the athletic facilities on campus. A thousand miles from home and playing badly, loneliness and dejection gripped him.

"I've just had some stuff I've been dealing with," Darrow said, "and I'm not sure how I want to go about dealing with it."

Perverts are so narcissistic they believe they have to declare their illness to the World. This is beyond repulsive.
Princeton has a football team? Oh. Probably made up of a lot of princes. More 'comings out' to be announced shortly.
Where's the tight end when needed?
Oh brother.
= Yawn =.
...Oh. Probably made up of a lot of princes...
Queens too?
Everything else is mindless, self-serving twaddle.
He told his Dad they don't play Football in the Ivy League its a girl's game.
I bet he will implode like that other gay football player. Ofcourse the media will slavishly worship him cause he’s the anti-alpha male
Why can’t he just have a made up girlfriend. It’s worked before.
Gay articles all have that "It was a dark and stormy night" tone about them.
BORING! Nobody cares who or what he is screwing.
I’d like to see the rest of the team refuse to play while he was on the roster. He’s free to be a deviant. They’re free to reject him.
He was just sitting around, doing nothing but staring and contemplating that fluff that had gathered in his navel.
Tight end or wide receiver. That’s the only thing that matters.
They fell out because he shoved her; remember?
Gay, you suck at football, and you’re stuck in New Jersey.
Perhaps this kid has reason to be dark and stormy.
I was just wondering what nut job wrote that crap!
Who wants to shower with a fruitcake who looks upon his teammates as sex objects?
It could never work out.
Oh my goodness. A 19 year old with identity problems. Who am I? Where am I headed?
What a unique perspective.
STFU, and go back to class. You are in Princeton for goodness sake. Snap out of it and get your head together.
