Wow. Just when I thought pro sports would always be full of homophobic assholes, something cool like this happens!

"If anyone comes out in those top four major sports, I will absolutely support him," says Irvin. "That's why I do my radio show every day. When these issues come out, I want to have a voice to speak about them. I think growth comes when we share. Until we do that, we're going to be stuck in the Dark Ages about a lot of things. When a guy steps up and says, 'This is who I am,' I guarantee you I'll give him 100% support."

If enough people stand up in pro sports and show support, the haters will have to back down.
