revolutionize collaborative gaming Gordon Lambie Anew approach to video game creation is gaining momentum in Ottawa under the supervision and guidance of a team featuring two former Townshippers.Chris McLeod is the project leader, creative director and co-founder of Lucid Swarm, the company working to put together CoreTechs: Tactics, a multi-player, community based, digital board game that is built around the idea that its players will play an active role in the evolution of gameplay.McLeod, along with longtime frienu and collaborator Ryan Cook, is looku p to launch the games first prototype i autumn of this year.“The game is a community-content driven combination of collectible card gaming and strategic war gaming,” said Cook, game designer, writer and cofounder of Lucid Swarm, who has known McLeod since the two met at Alexander Galt Regional High School in Lennoxville.“It’s kinda like Magic, but you play it on a hex-board and you have a king unit that you move around called an operator,” said McLeod, comparing the game to the popular card-based fantasy game Magic: The Gathering.“The goal of the game is to destroy the other player’s operator using your deck (of cards).” The project leader, who grew up in Magog and attended both Champlain College and Bishop’s University with Cook before moving to Ottawa, explained that the game is built around the turn-based gameplay and concept of a board familiar to those engaged in table-top gaming but that the mechanics, and specifically the math, of the gameplay require that it run on a computer.“It was always our plan to go digital, but we tested it that way because it is a lot cheaper to make a board game,” McLeod explained.“We ended up using a lot of coloured dice to track all of the.numbers the computer does in the digital version.At a certain point it just got really annoying and we decided we needed a computer to do the work.” That digital switch came a year and a half ago and, according to the design team, the project has only been gather- COURTESY Game creators Chris McLeod and Ryan Cook.ing momentum since then.McLeod pointed out that the work is currently being done by a group of about eight people, though he added that there have been other collaborators who have drifted in and out of the process depending on availability and interest.He traced the game’s inception back to a moment of inspiration chatting with friends Alex Botros and Sam Lazarus about a potential game idea.After that conversation, what might otherwise have been an idea that faded away to nothing latched onto McLeod and began to develop into something more, driven by an unfortunate personal loss.“My dad died and I got really sad,” the project leader said, “I needed something to dump a bunch of energy into that was positive and creative and helpful for me; I did it basically alone for many months and then got as many people as I could to jump in.” Though the initial interest from Botros and Lazarus disappeared for a time, McLeod explained that a group formed around the idea, developing the games’ science fiction based, post-apocalyptic story and larger game concepts together.He said that the discovery, upon making the physical prototype, that the game was not just playable but fun, was a pleasant surprise, and led to an effort to make it bigger and better.“Eventually I brought the idea back to Alex and Sam,” McLeod recalled.“They were totally on board.” That ended up being good news for the project, according to Cook.Lazarus’ computer programming skills have been instrumental in the digitization of the game, and Botros has taken charge of the mathematics involved.Given that one of the central concepts within CoreTechs:Tactics is that any player can add cards with different abilities to the game’s deck, a complex system is required to make sure that players do not simply create elements that throw the game completely out of balance.“That’s where our math man Alex comes in,” Cook said.“He’s got what we call the ‘harmonics engine’; it’s a physics-based formula, 16 pages of math I can’t understand, that analyses all of the different elements of the cards players create and sways them to come out with balancing numbers.” This player-generated structure is where Mcleod and his team are trying to break new ground in gaming.The project leader explained that where a lot of games offer what he called opportunities for, “aesthetic differences,” allowing a character to change clothes or appearance, CoreTechs will take up a whole new scale of community generated content, allowing the players to involve themselves in the very creation and evolution of the game.The format really just forms an extension of the kind of work that Cook and McLeod have engaged in throughout their friendship.“We’ve been doing this sort of thing ever since we met,” McLeod said, “even though we never built games in this sort of way before, we’ve always been tinkering and building and exploring systems High speed chase Cont’d from page 1 the passengers with her could drive.Sometime during the night of Friday-Saturday, an unknown suspect or suspects vandalized two swings at the

sessions, as well as many hours spent planning and playing Dungeons and Dragons together.The imagination and creativity built into those experiences formed a baseline for the approach they find themselves taking today.Asked about their objectives in putting the game together, beyond simply bringing an idea to life, McLeod said that the project has a lot to do with security.“What Ryan and I want to do is start something that is stable for us to build so we can have kids or buy houses or whatever for the rest of our lives: something that doesn’t require 40-50 hours of management on top of whatever else we’re doing.It’s about stability for us.” Cook said that even the “final” version of the game shouldn’t be considered finished, however, since the hope is that the project, once launched, will more or less take on a life of its own.“We want to build off of a base, and tinker with the project for years,” Cook said, comparing the idea to that of Dungeons and Dragons, which has been consistently reinvented over the last several decades.“The end goal is really to let other people tinker too and start forging interactions between those players, other players, and ourselves,” Mcleod continued.“We just have to show that we have a story, that we have momentum, that we have drive, and we’re going to start attracting more and more people.” The team is currently in the midst of launching a fundraising campaign on Kickstarter, the popular crowd-funding website.They hope to raise $30,000 to be able to have a working multiplayer prototype of the game that those who have pledged money to the project can play by this fall.From there, they aim to launch more fully by the end of 2014.More information about CoreTechs: Tactics is available on the game’s website:

newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record Education students resist ‘Intensive English’ implementation Sherbrooke The General Association of Students from the Faculty of Education at the Université de Sherbrooke (AGEEFEUS) has sent a letter to new Education Minister Yves Bolduc, in which it expresses its mitigated opposition to the implementation of intensive English instruction at the primary level as proposed by the current government.Although the association admits that the method presented by the government is “the preferred method of teaching a second language,” is says it “has many concerns about the overall impact that the implementation of the program would have on students.” While much is said about the usefulness of English proficiency in the labour market, the future teachers challenge the Minister on the following question: does the school serve only the search of a job?“This is far from being a vision that we want to promote.It would mean forgetting that education is also used, and to a large extent, to form responsible citizens and to instill a solid foundation of general culture,” the letter reads.The letter does not make clear, however, how student mastery of a second language impedes the progress of any but unilingual aspiring teachers.The students also express concern over the sacrifice of other subjects in the promotion of English: “We are not ready to penalize every child in Quebec by eliminating half the content of the current program for the sole purpose of better equipping them for a future trade.Learning English is everybody’s business, but it’s also an individual affair.” Finally, the Association expressed its surprise at the decision to implement the program although it was never mentioned during the recent election campaign.“One thing is certain - that we cannot make decisions too early.Perhaps the Charest government had the data indicating that the project could be launched without fear, but now we must think again.This is not how political projects should be; you ought to discuss it before announcing it.Now, all that remains for us is to oppose it,” the letter concludes.Take an art break CONT’D FROM PAGE

art as a transformative process that allows creators to change the demons into their past into representations of a positive and manageable future.“In creation we transform external objects, but we also transform ourselves” she continued.“In a creation I can project my conscious and unconscious desires, realities past and present, I can also project my hopes for the future or a secret and intimate image of myself.Artistic expression liberates intention, and generates wellbeing.” To expand upon those ideas, artist Nathalie Fortin presented her personal experiences of overcoming intense

thoughts of others, and always very nervous.Art, she said, was her only means of getting outside herself and her own challenging thoughts.“I know now that I invented all kinds of scenarios in my head that would never have actually happened, to keep myself in,” Fortin reflected, saying that she nonetheless started to have panic attacks.It was only after talking to her doctor and the local resource centres that Fortin said she was able to better under- stand her anxiety and how her creative work could help.“Starting from that moment, art took on a new meaning for me,” the artist explained, “it became an integral part of my transformation into a much more serene person.Art allowed me to be present in the moment and forget about the little worries of life.” “I can say without hesitation that my art has given me the equilibrium I needed to persevere,” Fortin continued.“Art is wherever we let our creativity express itself, regardless of whether it is in the way we set the table, the way we arrange a reception, the way we do a craft with a child or write a letter to a friend.It is in the way we make our gardens and the way we maintain them.it is the best way to become a better person and to transform the world in which one lives.” In connection with the creative focus of the week, the RRC-SME is hosting exhibitions of user-generated art at five community resource centres across the region.L’Autre Rive and La Cordée RASM in Sherbrooke, the Centre L’Élan in Magog, L’Éveil RCSM in Coaticook, and the Virage in East Angus, will all host the art shows as well as other events fitting the theme.A full calendar of events is available on the coalition’s website: www.santementaleestrie.org Foundations for Farming Canada begins in Sherbrooke By Chris Homibrook Special to The Record The first Canadian training session for a new Christian ministry begins this week in Sherbrooke.Steve and Francine Lilford have recently returned from working in Zimbabwe, Africa where they were very involved with Foundations for Farming.Over the years, the Lil-ford’s have written extensively for The Record on their incredible African adventures that were enjoyed by many Sherbrooke Record readers.“This will be the first training given in North America.” As a result of seeing firsthand the results of this conservation agricultural method, they were excited when Green Ridge Baptist Church agreed to host this pilot project.Essentially, it’s a ministry to empower the poor and disadvantaged and is now in 38 countries in the world.Soil management is key for producing healthy vegetables.According to the Lilford’s, this week’s training will “cover the major topics and people will be given a good understanding of the basic subjects.” Those who love to garden and enjoy the outdoors will benefit greatly.Unlike many community gardens, however, Foundations for Farming includes the foundational teachings of Christian stewardship that includes Christ's message to feed the poor both physically and spiritually.“We will learn how God’s creation works and grow food God’s way.” Next week’s inaugural training is focused on ‘training the trainers.’ “We have people from Fitch Bay interested in participating who would like to set up a community garden in their area.An organizing committee of five Fitch Bay residents have embraced Foundations for Farming and have the full support of the local rural council who have kindly allocated a piece of land to start a community garden.As well, we have local leaders who are setting up the same ministry in Cuba where food security is a major concern.They will be trained and be involved in setting up Cuba’s training station in July, 2014.” Why are the Lilford’s doing this?They feel called and inspired by this African ministry and the desire to create unity among the local church communities and bring people together.“We also welcome people who don’t necessarily garden or attend church.So many people can benefit.Although it's a Christian ministry, we want to invite people to consider working together by working the land and becoming a stronger community,” said Steve Lilford.Overall, there are many community garden projects.Lilford says that “what makes us different is that we make the Gospel message of Christ a core ingredient and use basic principles of agriculture.The main cost for ‘Growing God’s way’ is time.” For more information, please contact Steve and Francine Lilford at foundationsforfarming-canada@gmail.com or call them at home at 819 791-3997 or drop by and visit them at their home next to

The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Tuesday, May 6, 2014 Page 5 Ministry orders Shefford marsh restored Record Staff The Ministry of Sustainable Development, Environment and the Fight against climate change has again ordered the manufactured homes company RE.Potvin in Granby to stop its unauthorized draining of marshland on land situated in the Township of Shefford and to restore the site to its original state quickly.Ordinance #640 aims to restore the land as closely as possible to the state it was in prior to the beginning of work carried out by the company in 2013, contrary to section 22 of the Act on the quality of the environment.To achieve this end, the order specified that the company must submit a plan for site restoration prepared by a professional and complete the work by May 10.Monitoring studies will also have to be carried out for the next three years to ensure the sustainability of the corrections, particularly with regard to backfill and plant regeneration.The company received desist orders in August and in September 2013 aimed at putting a stop to the digging and drainage of an ecologically valuable marshland in order to avoid its drying out.Two trenches of more than 350 metres in length had been dug out illegally in July and the marsh had been cleared.Work done following these two orders was not properly done and failed to stop the flow of water from the marsh and the site has still not been restored.The marsh, located close to the Ya-maska River, is regarded as having outstanding ecological value.This site includes several wildlife habitats and is also a habitat for the wood turtle, a species in vulnerable status in Quebec.It is also home to the snapping turtle, a species at risk.The texts of the orders can be consulted on the Ministry of Sustainable Development website at www.reaistres.mddefp.gouv.ac.ca/or-donnances/index.htm Sherbrooke woman, daughter still missing Sherbrooke There is still no sign of a Sherbrooke woman who disappeared last week along with her eight-year old child.Ruben Jade Bischof-Desgroseillers, age 25 and her daughter Lea Bischof have not been seen since April 28.The apartment where they reside has been left abandoned.Anyone with information on this case can call the SPS at 819 821-5555.Domaine Pinnacle sanctioned Sherbrooke Le Domaine Pinnacle, one of Brome Missisquoi's shining economic lights, has been sanctioned recently by the Régie des alcohols, des courses et des jeux (RACJ) as a result of deficiencies observed by inspectors.The popular wine and cider producer of alcoholic beverages has been prohibited from selling some of its products for a period of 49 days.This decision will not affect the daily activities of the company, said Charles Crawford, founding president of Domaine Pinnacle.“We are under renovation and it isn’t peak season.” Several times between October 2009 and September 2012, inspectors from the Régie visited the Domaine Pinnacle on Miner Street in Cowansville and Ch.Frelighsburg in Richford.Thirty offences were reported, the majority of which related to the unauthorized sale of certain products manufactured by the company.Some ir- regularities were also found in the required monthly reports, in the purchase of alcohol, pressing, and non-compliant labeling.Domaine Pinnacle and the RACJ began negotiations to reach a joint proposal and the complete ban on the sale of products manufactured under the aegis of the Frelighsburg licence for a period of 49 days and the same prohibition for certain Cowansville products for a period of 28 days was suggested to the commissioners.Student leader gets third conditional discharge Sherbrooke A local student leader during the 2012 ‘Maple Spring’ has benefitted from a third conditional discharge for charges brought against him during the student unrest.Nicolas Lachance-Barbeau received a conditional discharge Monday after having pleaded guilty before Judge Erick Vanchestein of the Court of Quebec.Lachance-Barbeau is subject to a requirement to perform 100 hours of community service within one year of probation.It is the third time that Lachance-Barbeau has received a discharge for acts committed during the demonstrations.The former spokesman for the Coalition large de l’Association pour une solidarité syndicale étudiante (CLASSE) in Sherbrooke is now an addictions counselor and had «sked the court not to impose a criminal record following his guilty plea for events that occurred during a demonstration on April 17, 2012.Barbeau pleaded guilty to obstructing police officers during a demonstration outside the Chamber of Commerce offices in downtown Sherbrooke.At the head of a hundred protesters.Barbeau prevented the police from entering to ensure security inside.After three warnings, he was arrested and detained a few hours.Also Monday students pursuing the Université de Sherbrooke for contempt of court during the ‘Maple Spring’ of 2012 announced that they have withdrawn their suit just prior to its scheduled hearing.Philippe Bérard, Simon Soulières, and Yannick Gaulin recently signed a discontinuance of the case causing the contempt of court case they began in April 2012 to be dismissed.The students were unable to return to classes despite a court injunction allowing them to do so and filed the suit against the school for its failure to enforce the court order.A similar case launched by Sherbrooke Cégep students was withdrawn last year.Stabbing suspect remains in hospital Sherbrooke Timothy Dawe, the man accused in the stabbing death of a Bromont man in Adamsville in March will remain in detention for the immediate future.Dawe was back in court Thursday, and referred to hospital where he remains in detention until he is brought before a judge on June 5 for his preliminary hearing.At his first court appearance, Dawe was sent for psychiatric evaluation to determine his fitness to stand trial.The evaluation was extended until May 1.Flis current hospitalization is not related to this evaluation, court records show.Dawe, who has a criminal history, is suspected of stabbing Régis Pilote to death on March 22 in the parking lot of the Chez Loulou restaurant in Adamsville.Dawe was formally charged with manslaughter on March 24.Read all about it - Two decades of headlines compiled into 2 books The Record has

schools and colleges, labour unions, the old age pension, unemployment insurance, and health insurance.In response to Mike McDevitt Dear Editor: Last week, with “War of the Worlds,” Mike McDevitt introduced us to “Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey," TV “that explores all manner of scientific questions.” As soon as it’s available on my TV screen, I know I’ll be an eager viewer.But McDevitt’s unable to leave it there.He goes on to observe that today in America “the religious right” decries science “for its undermining of sacred scripture, which demands unqualified faith in the literal veracity of its often contradictory words.Religious faith relies on setting aside one’s own senses and experiences and surrendering to a revealed truth that human logic may not understand.” So in response to an attack on science, McDevitt offers an attack on religious faith.Yes, at times he targets “the religious right,” but then he forgets that limited target and tars all people of faith with the same brush.He seems to overlook the role played in Canadian history by people of faith - in the promotion of schools and colleges, labour unions, the old age pension, unemployment insurance, and health insurance.Canadian faith communities have long encouraged the development of a fairer society.It was not that long ago that the CBC helped us choose the greatest Canadian: Tommy Douglas, Baptist minister and father of Medicare.I too fear the power of the “religious right.” I fear people who claim to hold in their hand the very words of God, who leave no space between the words on the page and the mind of God.Once you choose to read your scriptures that way, there’s nothing to discuss, and even I am tempted to join McDevitt’s crusade.In humility, people of faith have to admit we can’t speak with absolute certainty on God’s behalf.For the time being.I’m confident the majority of Christians in both the US and Canada seek to know a compassionate God, one who longs to draw us towards justice and peace.For me, that’s what it is to be a believer.Martyn Sadler Lennoxville Dear Editor: In the last federal election the Liberal party offered William Hogg as their candidate.Although Mr.Hogg seemed to be an intelligent, capable, pleasant and extremely hard working candidate, he was soundly trounced.1 have no personal knowledge or opinion of Colin Standish, but I would hope that the

fact that while The Record devoted much of their issue Monday to Mr.Standish not one word appeared in La Tribune.Were they not even sent a press release?rrsso DISGUSTING AND REPULSIVE BUT I CAN’T STOP

other mementoes of the storied regiment and other units from the region.Through this campaign, the Fusiliers are hoping to gather old family treasures to be displayed and shared to honour the military history of the Eastern Townships.Several military units from the region have taken up arms over the years and they all have their own story.“There are a lot of people aged 50-70 years who have kept these military objects belonging to their fathers, their uncles, and their grandfathers,” says Capt.Stéphane Patrick Dubuc.“These military artifacts of great sentimental value are often stored in attics, garages, and basements in conditions that can cause damage.It is in the interest of preserving these records that the campaign ‘From the attic to the Museum’ was established.We are inviting the public to give us the gift of its treasures.These items are precious and we can’t afford to lose them as they pay tribute to our collective history.All these artifacts will be maintained with great care according to museum standards.Our campaign is also important to the English-speaking population that played an important role in the various combat units from the region.” The Record

their 2014 training camp.For the fifth consecutive year, the Alouettes will hold all workouts and practices on campus at Coulter Field, as newly appointed head coach Tom Higgins and General Manager Jim Popp evaluate their players over the span of three weeks.No less than 75 players are expected to report to Bishop’s when camp opens on Sunday, June 1.“We are very happy to return to Bishop’s for a fifth consecutive year.The school offers our players and coaches first-class facilities and an atmosphere that allows them to keep their concentration at the highest level during this important learning phase,” said Popp.“Our fans, as well as local-area schools are more than wel- come to visit us on a daily basis, and we will gladly make time to answer all questions.Training camp is the best way to get to see your favourite players up close and personal.” Michael Goldbloom, C.M., Principal and Vice-Chancellor of Bishop’s University, said: “We are very pleased that the Alouettes will be back on campus.Bishop’s has a football tradition and the Alouettes are an outstanding organization.Training camp affords a unique opportu- nity to meet the players and I encourage everyone in the region to come to Coulter Field to watch them in action.” The club will play two preseason games - June 14 on the road opposite the Tiger-Cats at McMaster University in Hamilton and then at home in Montreal to end camp by hosting the first-year Ottawa Redblacks on June 20 at Percival Molson Memorial Stadium.The Alouettes will kick off their regular season on Satur- day, June 28 when they visit the Calgary Stampeders at 3 p.m.before hosting their home opener a week later at Percival Molson Memorial Stadium when the BC Lions come into town on Friday, July 4 at 7 p.m.All practices during training camp are open to the public.The 2014 training camp schedule will be sent out shortly.It will also be available by visiting MontrealAlouettes.com.Source: Chantal Sneath Sherbrooke With a surplus of $510,000, the Canada Games Organization can provide a legacy for its event host cities and Coaticook will receive a sports-themed painting and a cheque for $18,500.Coaticook enjoys Games fallout The Acting Director General of the Canada Games, Michel Dussureault presented the gifts to Coaticook mayor Bertrand Lamoureux and councilor Guy-laine Blouin Thursday.“This is a way to thank our partners who ensured the success of the gathering,” Dussureault said.“It also recognizes that many of them surpassed themselves last summer.” Just prior to the event, Coaticook upgraded the Stade Julien Morin, particularly with the addition of bleachers and nets.Despite the expenses related to the competitions held in Coaticook, Lamoureux says he has no re grets at having been involved.“We will take this gift to cover part of the development of new players’ rooms at the stadium,” he said.“It was a small condition of the games that we reinvest that money into a sports project.” According to Dussureault, Coaticook was a “big hit” with the organizers.“People could not believe we were offering such beautiful equipment and such beautiful grounds here.They were very surprised.There were many people who wanted to compete here.” As for the painting, it will probably decorate one of the walls in the mayor’s office.Sherbrooke ç’a Roule’ again Sherbrooke With the return of warmer weather comes the return of bicycles and the Estrie Regional Environmental Council (CRE-Es-trie) is launching its second annual Sherbrooke Bike Week, ‘Sherbrooke ç’a Roulle’ from May 12-18.A full program of activities is being provided by the CRE and its partners during the week, including a ride with Sherbrooke city councillors that leaves the Marche de la Gare on Monday, May 12, at 11:30 a.m., an outdoors cardio session at the Université de Sherbrooke and a bike delivery service at the Marché de solidarité de TEstrie.Primarily, however, the awareness campaign is an opportunity for everybody to leave their cars behind and discover the pleasures and benefits of this healthy and environmentally conscious means of transportation.In the meantime, any indi- vidual or organization may still suggest an activity timetable by completing the website online form at www.sherbrooke-caroule.ca For the second time, the pediatrician who initiated the call for mandatory helmet regulation, Claude Cyr Sr., will serve as spokesperson.“The bike is a simple, inexpensive, and effective way to get around town.I challenge workers participating in Bike Week to go to work by bike a few days a week or month.” A full schedule of events can be found on the event website, www.sherbrookecaroule.ca.As more sports stars come out, a protocol evolves on how best to take that step By David Crary The Associated Press Anew type of playbook is fast evolving in the world of sports: An informal, commonsense protocol for how prominent gay and lesbian athletes can come out with maximum acclaim and minimum turmoil.Key decisions include how to reveal one’s story, whom to tell it to and _ crucially _ when to tell it.“The earlier in the off-season, the better,” said Cyd Zeigler, a co-founder of the website Out-sports, the platform of choice for many athletes to share their coming-out story.“Minimizing the distraction to your teammates is super important,” Zeigler said.“I recommend to everyone, ‘Don’t do it in the middle in the season.’” Jason Collins used an April 2013 column in Sports Illustrated to become the first openly gay player in the NBA.He’s now a reserve with the Brooklyn Nets.In February, Missouri defensive end Michael Sam came out via co-ordinated coverage by ESPN, The New York Times and Outsports.Sam is projected as a middle-round prospect in the NFL draft this week, which would put him on track to be the league’s first openly gay player.On April 9, University of Massachusetts guard Derrick Gordon became the first openly gay player in Division I men’s basketball, making the announcement on ESPN and Outsports two days after the NCAA championship game.The logistics of Sam coming out were co-ordinated by Howard Bragman, a public relations expert who is vice chairman of Reputation.com, which helps clients manage their online images.Bragman has been ushering celebrities out of the closet since 1991, when he helped actor Dick Sargent of the TV series “Bewitched.” The first gay athlete he worked with was Esera Tuaolo, who came out in 2002 after nine years as a defensive tackle in the NFL.Other clients included golfer Rosie Jones in 2004 and pro basketball star Sheryl Swoopes in 2005.One of the biggest changes during his career, Bragman said, is the attitude of young Americans.“This younger generation _ the ‘Will and Grace’ generation _ is comfortable about having gay friends,” he said.“Kids are coming out in junior high, high school.” Bragman offers advice for athletes considering coming out: _Break the news before anyone else does, and don’t feel obligated to repeat your story.Choose wisely how you tell it and whom you tell it to, because the first stories will define the narrative._Anticipate tough questions and answer them in a truthful yet consistent, controlled way._Define yourself in well-rounded terms, to make clear that being gay is only one facet of who you are._Get back to work.In a column on his Linkedln page, Bragman said it was crucial that Sam chose to come out before the NFL draft.“Had he come out after, he would have faced criticism for not telling the truth,” Bragman wrote.“He not only owned his truth, he put it in perspective and got great respect for his integrity along the way.” One of the people enlisted to help advise Sam before his disclosure was Wade Davis, a former NFL Europe player who came out in 2012 _ nine years after retiring.Davis is now executive director of the You Can Play Project, which seeks to increase acceptance of gay athletes in sports.His paramount advice to Sam was to stay focused on football.“The NFL doesn't want any player who’s looking to get famous off of something other than being an athlete,” Davis said.
