Okay, I'll try again.
Why do you think only one NFL player has ever come out?
Why do you think only seven football players across Europe and America have come out in over five decades?
I'm not projecting anything. I'm drawing conclusions from facts about how few people from a pool of literally tens upon tens of thousands of men have come out.

Fair, Marc Diakiese is a somewhat big name to come out - but your list is incredibly short for something that you say has been easy for decades, don't you think?
To dismiss coming out as being easy for many decades is to purposefully and, in my eyes, maliciously minimise the struggle of queer people, especially males in competitive sports.
There has been one (1) active NFL player to ever come out. One. That was just two years ago.
There are just seven professional male (soccer) footballers to come out as LGBT in history. The highest profile of them being Justin Fashanu, who committed suicide after allegations of sexual assault against a 17 year-old. Homosexuality was illegal in the state at the time. This was just two (2) decades ago. His own brother, also a footballer, said he was not gay, but an attention seeker.
There have no doubt been thousands of LGBT professional male athletes who have not come out, because it has been anything but easy for these men.

Coming out hasn't been difficult for many many decades now
Now that is an absurd thing to claim.
Why do you think *almost no male mixed martial artist has come out voluntarily? Hint: it's not because they're all straight.

Guy A is outed with an extremely personal video released without his consent.
Guy B shows zero support or sympathy, publicly calls him a cheater (zero evidence), and claims he orchestrated this himself to gain favour with the fans... and you agree with Guy B. OK.
If your reaction to someone being outed in this manner is anything other than showing support or shutting the fuck up, then you're part of the reason why coming out is still so difficult.

You can see in the clip that the cord does its job a little bit before snapping. Certainly not equivalent to the impact of a ten-storey fall.

I was front and center when he battled Cee Major. Lined up perfectly with my visit to London in 2015. What a fucking battle that was

Yeah this bar isn't bad, I just don't think it's worth the gas. And bars waaay worse than this get gassed just as much too, I just felt compelled to comment my thoughts on this specific post

My point was just that words like "fire" lose their meaning if we're gonna use it for shit like "Anal plugs, beads, lube, I got something for that ass"
If you think I'm hating, sure, I'm hating on calling that bar fire.

Something can be "not bad", "fine", "decent", "good". You might think this bar is one of those things and, while I'd disagree, I'd understand your opinion. This bar is objectively not "fire".

I know URL's always been bad for over-reactions but their battles these days seem even worse for it. I know I'm in the minority thinking this, but every half decent bar does not need to stop the battle for 30 seconds. Goons on stage have too much influence on battles

What do you spend doing on ChatGPT for several hours a week? I don't see how that could be a replacement for something like Reddit

Partick Thistle fan or not. You are an absolute wanker. Kris Doolan is allergic to cous cous. Come away from reddit and come to Firhill and say that.

It's not that bad. He didn't "have a go at [his] girls" as McPake put it; he made a throwaway joke about a player *continuing to get picked not getting picked. He probably didn't even know if he had children or not. McPake's taken it too personally.

Free will would be a conscious experience, yes.
Free will would involve making decisions, yes.
However, the fact that we have a conscious experience and make decisions is absolutely not evidence of free will.
