Description
David Kopay's earth-shattering story, published in 1977, when he became the first NFL player publicly to acknowledge his homosexuality. After a ten year career as a running back for the San Francisco 49ers, Washington Redskins, New Orleans Saints and Green Bay Packers, Kopay became the first prominent male athlete in history to come out of the closet. Here, he reveals the conflicting emotional states that first prevented him from living openly and then drove him to the point of complete honest. As inspiring today as it was upon publication.
