Gareth Thomas Shows Support For Openly Gay England Cricketer Steven Davies

The Telegraph reports:

Steven Davies will be a better player, and a happier person, for being open about his sexuality, according to former Welsh rugby captain Gareth Thomas.

Thomas, who came out last year, told the Daily Telegraph: “I am really happy for Steve and pleased that he has had the strength and courage to be able to come out and be open and honest about who he is, and to see that he has the support of his family and teammates in doing it, like I did.

“When you are a professional sportsman you have to be 100 per cent in the moment, and I know that I played many years of 90 per cent in the moment and 10 per cent listening to the crowd. That’s why it’s good for young sports people to come out early and be the best they possibly can through their career.”
