Papa Forge and Zach Booth are back with another exciting installment of "Out Of The Closet Sports”. This episode Zach Booth goes deep . . . into the playoffs with his softball team. Our hosts dish on their experience sharing queer leagues with straight identifying players. It’s football season and Papa Forge is coaching their sons football team! How do they navigate the toxic masculinity that often permeates the sports world? Kevin Maxen boldly came out of the closet and is the first male identifying openly gay coach in the NFL. The New York Times published a profile on openly gay MLB broadcaster Erich Bach. The headlines only last an instant but Papa Forge and Zach discuss the long journey to coming out and the long path forward. And then its GAMETIME! This week in Rudy or Judy, Papa Forge tests Zach to see if he can identify which sports icons are allies and which are homophobes.
