K-State’s Scott Frantz sees less-scrutinized future for gay players

As Scott Frantz recently learned, it is big news when a college football player reveals he is gay.

The Kansas State offensive lineman created a stir last month when he came out on national television, following in the footsteps of former Missouri defensive end Michael Sam and joining Arizona State’s My-King Johnson as the openly gay players in college football. He has since learned what it is like to receive hundreds of messages from strangers and to become the subject of sports debate.

But he’s not sure things will always be this way.

“Give it another four years and it might not be anything,” Frantz said.
