A GAY GIRL’S GUI TO THE 2023 WOMEN’S WORLD CUP

It will be a glor month to be a gay fan. Last time at the 2019 Women’s World Cup, the Netherlands lay claim to the honor of beg the team wh the most out LGBTQ players, but this year Atralia boasts 10 out players and overtak them for the tle of Gayt Team 2k23. Ireland’s historic entry to the tournament marks another triumph for out midfielr Sead Farrelly, whose natnal team but and 2023 return to the NWSL e more than six years after retirg om soccer the wake of systemic homophobic and sexual abe wh the league, which the Athletic first reported on 2021.

One such piece — and a highly-predictable one, at that — is veteran forward Rudy Gay, who was recently waived by the Oklahoma Cy Thunr, after beg ed as filler two different offseason tras: first when the Utah Jazz shipped him to the Atlanta Hawks the John Colls al, and then when the Hawks sent him to the Thunr the Patty Mills tra. Dpe beg a 17-year veteran — he was drafted one year after Chris Pl, and one pick ahead of Patrick O’Bryant — Gay has never shared an NBA locker room wh any Warrrs. Not only have they played (and ached) agast him for years, but Gay was teammat wh Steph Curry and Klay Thompson on the Team USA squad that won gold at the 2014 FIBA World Cup, and also teammat wh Curry (and Andre Iguodala) on the gold medal-wng 2010 team.

Perhaps most importantly, Gay spent four seasons — four recent seasons, crilly — playg for the San Anton Spurs and Steve Kerr’s mentor, Gregg Popovich. If the Warrrs are terted Gay, you n bet that Kerr and Pop have talked about , and about how he handled the swch om high-volume starter/srer to veteran bench piece.

That is, theory, the biggt benef of Gay: beg a tsty and smart vet that n fill the Iguodala role. Which is good, bee ’s unclear if Gay has anythg left the tank on the urt. It’s easy to make the se for Gay, sce the Warrrs rotatn seems pretty set as is, wh an 11-player rotatn of Curry, Pl, Thompson, Wiggs, Green, Kumga, Moody, Kevon Looney, Gary Payton II, Dar Šarić, and Cory Joseph.

If the Dubs want Gay, he’d probably be an easy target. Here’s a staggerg stat: Gay is 68th NBA history regular season gam played, wh 1, 120. There’s also a cent chance that Gay go unsigned, and that the Dubs uld brg him to trag mp on a non-guaranteed al to get a better look at him.

Should the Warrrs sign Rudy Gay? As the only known out gay broadster profsnal baseball, Eric Bach is blazg a trail for LGBTQ sports media figur the summer game. Over the long grd of a mor league season, dog his job every day as the only gay man wh the team has led to moments of tense self-nscns and ocsnal exhstn.

IS RUDY GAY A GOOD F?

“I feel like that’s the burn a lot of gay people live wh — tryg to be perfect for straight people. Sudnly, Bach changed the topic, askg Lowery, “You know I’m gay, right?

However, Bach also admted that he’s unsure how many players the Natnals clubhoe know that he’s gay and that’s exacerbated his feelgs of self-nscns.

While has been a stggle at tim and spe there beg no other out gay announcers baseball, Bach remas rolute to break through the glass ceilg and reprent the LGBTQ muny at the hight level of broadstg. -based profsnal league to e out as gay. Michael Sam beme the first openly gay player to be drafted when the then-St.
