It'll sicken me to see people praising him for coming out if he ever does. I'm incredibly bothered when people are hailed for admitting they're gay.

Nobody hails anyone for being heterosexual.

If he's gay, I hope he waits until his playing days are over.

Players show up at events--social, charitable, etc.--with their wives and girlfriends all the time. Their families go to games. Heterosexual players have all the freedom to be public about who is a part of their life. Why should homosexual players not be free to have the same?
Now, if the player and his partner want to be quiet on the matter, that's their prerogative. They can make that choice, but not someone else.
If you don't want to see others applaud gays for coming out, then don't give them a reason to applaud. Don't tell gays they should keep it to themselves, because it truly isn't your business.
