Enough of the slow-moving, inch-by-inch steps toward making gay athletes a public part of the fabric of professional sports, as they should be. No more stone-by-stone dismantling of a wall of discrimination by players who announce they are gay only after they have retired from competing in the big leagues.
There is no better moment than now to plow ahead and topple that wall with a bulldozer, and what a relief that Michael Sam, an all-American defensive end from Missouri, is in the driver’s seat, bravely heading full speed ahead.
