Thanks to Jason on one of the more important articles he's ever written. Thanks to Mike for sharing his story it couldn't have been easy.

Mike Pucillo, we've never met. But I feel that I know you at least a little now, and I like what I see. You're a man, and I think we're slowly getting to the point as a nation where coming out is not only not news, but a personal matter and no one's bueiness.

Iron Mike will always be an NCAA champion, 3x AA and one of my all time favorite Bucks. I am happy he's been able to open up. That takes guts.

He was counselor at JJ's one year when I took my team. He wore a t-shirt with the words "Barger Trained" etched on it in black Sharpie all week. : )

Here's a key quote:
“Why would someone choose a life that is completely ridiculed their entire life? To me, people can’t wrap their head around that, there’s no point in me trying to talk to them. I’m not going to change the way their mind thinks,” said Pucillo.

I talked to Mike at my gym last year. A really good guy.
All the best to him. It's clear he's got courage on and off the mat.

This is phenomenal. I agree with Shel, that it will be wonderful when there is a time that this isn't "news", because people don't care. I don't know Mike at all and I'm sure he doesn't care, but I couldn't be prouder of Mike and to be a Buckeye.
Just curious, who was the other Buckeye wrestler mentioned to be gay when Mike transferred from Hofstra? I don't remember hearing about that.

This brings up an eternal question I have been pondering since he graduated: why can't he teach that headlock series to Courts, who I think would be great at it.
