The NHL and NFL could both have openly gay players this fall.
Nashville Predators prospect Luke Prokop made history Monday when he became the first-ever player under a National Hockey League contract to come out as gay, saying, «living my authentic life will allow me to bring my whole self to the rink and improve my chances of fulfilling my dreams.» «I may be new to the community, but I am eager to learn about the strong and resilient people who came before me and paved the way so I could be more comfortable today,» Prokop said. If Prokop takes the ice for Nashville this fall, it will likely come after another historic first in major North American sports.
