Much of the media has been atwitter for the last day over the rumor that a woman is claiming Tiger Woods had sex with men. It’s pretty tough to believe given a host of circumstances: We at Outsports have never heard about Woods being anything but straight (and we hear about everybody); The woman says [...]

Richard Jefferson tosses fuel on the fire
The name Richard Jefferson has been tossed around for years as a possible gay man in pro sports. MediaTakeOut breathed life in the rumors in 2006 when they said a black New Jersey Nets player was in a relationship with a man (Jefferson was with the Nets at the time). So when I read that [...]
Alleged NFL player on DownLow site
MediaTakeOut is best-known for posting blind items about celebrities with virtually no evidence whatsoever. So when I saw that they posted pictures from the gay profile of an NFL player, I was dubious: And when I saw they blocked out the face of the alleged player and there was absolutely no identifying features of his [...]

Bayless stands by gay Aikman rumor
Wacko. Clown. Fool. These are some of the words that come to the minds of many when they think of Skip Bayless. The over-the-top sports reporter often featured on ESPN (shocker) made a real name for himself with a book many years ago about the Cowboys of the 1990s. In it he talks about rumors [...]
Ex-wife slings gay rumor at former Met
Since Mike Piazza’s declaration that he’s straight, jokesters and Yankees fans have had a field day labeling the Mets a gay team. And now, more fuel for the fire . . . .
Former New York Met Art Shamsky, part of the Amazin’s team that won the 1969 World Series, has been embroiled in a [...]
Blind item says baseballer is gay
I’m not a big fan of blind items prined by newspapers and mags; Whenever anything is unattributed and untraceable, I get a little suspicious. But this tidbit ran in the New York Daily News last week:
Which baseball heart-throb may be playing for the other team? Word is he slips into bed with Florida fellas.
What’s particularly [...]
Professional soccer’s got a new rent boy
There are professional soccer players across Italy praying that Victory doesn’t name names. You see, he’s the the latest rent boy to come forward and claim that he beds down pro soccer players in Italy for cash. A lot of cash, actually. About $2,000 a pop, so to speak.
“A lot of them are bisexual, they [...]
Seeing the wheels fall off in Cleveland
Week 14 of the NFL provided some atrocious games for a lot of AFC football fans this week. Pittsburgh made Matt Cassel look like the inexperienced kid he actually is and not the god that passed for 1000+ over the last few weeks. The Jets suddenly looked very mortal when the Broncos bullied them into submission. [...]
Ian Thorpe dating “them”
Given the shortage of super-high-profile openly gay athletes, we’re left clinging to pronouns. Though this one certainly has my eyebrow raised. Ian Thorpe, the Australian “Thorpedo” who won a slew of Olympic gold medals in swimming, talked to Australia’s Sunday Telegraph about his present love.
“There is (someone special in my life), but they don’t live [...]
Blog spreads Vince Young-at-gay-bar rumor
This picture was posted at blogxilla a few days ago. It’s Tennessee Titans QB Vince Young shirtless at a party. Obviously, he’s surrounded by lots of dudes with their shirts off. So a site called The Online Wire posted a cropped, shrunken pic in which you couldn’t really tell that any women were there (looks [...]
