Today's Blind Items - Lets Play Video Games Is Now Code

Lets say you are an athlete in the closet and you want to get to know an athlete who you have heard is also in the closet. How do you broach the subject of hooking up? Apparently there is a new code phrase. Lets play some video games. Most athletes play video games. It is something they do in their down time and is not out of the ordinary. So, what better way to disguise a hookup. The thing is though, it can seem strange to suddenly see a closeted A list NFL player randomly trying to meet up with an athlete from a different sport who is also very successful. They had never met and never spoke to each other. The only things they shared in common are sports and being in the closet. So, a little Tweet asking if they want to come over to play video games has turned into a full blown love affair. The tennis player has been down in the dumps since he split with his doubles partner/lover so this was the perfect fit.
