Own Your Truth | Shane Wickes | TEDxUniversityofNevada

[@bryanmills4389]

love this so much, as a gay hockey player I can definitely relate to this.

[@MidCenturyDan]

Amazing talk Shane. Keep speaking up and speaking the truth. It's so important to move football culture in a positive direction and lead by example. You are a true coach and a a true leader. No bull shit will ever result in anything authentic.

[@EmilyReese]

I am honored to call you Friend. Also, you are loved. Clearly.

[@spectaclereplication]

I'm tired of homophobia. So tired of it. Religion has played a cruel joke on humanity. So have governments. When will we stand up against it? Never? Why are things the way they are? It's not right.

[@dillanmoore5304]

Well said Shane, I couldn't be more proud to be a former teammate of yours.

[@iwnunn7999]

I'm sure he appreciated your comment very much

[@vballchk17]

Keep living your truth Shane. You did so great!

[@camuscat123]

[@jonathancolby8167]

Just to put insight on how he coaches, our team had three first team offensive linemen in our region this year because of this guy

[@andrewberghoff7368]

Thank You Shane! Amazing how you were meant to go to "Disneyland." Great speech. I hope your community sticks with you. So proud of you, man.

[@BretSimmons]

Well done, Shane. Very proud of you

[@irisumolharcolorido5620]

Thank you for sharing.

[@oteleamsi]

thanks Shane!

[@rhysgoodwin9951]

Great to hear that he is getting the help he needs for his addiction. It takes a brave person to ask for help. I hope he does a talk when he is at Stanford about his addiction to Alcohol.

[@richardb2837]

coolness

[@douglaswylie597]

Man crush

[@tatumlingley680]

you know I love what this guy has to say but the under lying current of homophobia I'd alot stronger in waterpolo and the weirdest thing happened to me I came our and the only person who was troubled by it was my coach...

[@jamesanderson898]

Like the Advertisement in black and white WHY? Where we ALL Started! At least several of us! James family of ?

[@publicpitchblendeorg]

Nice chest!

[@webbgoss7624]

you should not be able to coach young boys being gay

[@erichenryandersen]

Webb Goss , Do you think it would be inappropriate for a straight man to coach women/girls? Your argument is absurd. Sexual orientation has nothing to do with whether someone is qualified to coach a sport. Sexual orientation has nothing to do with professionalism. I hope you're path in life will teach you this lesson sooner than later. There is a movement of inclusion happening all around us. You are welcome aboard.

[@ellie-gq9xv]

you should not be able to take another breath with that attitude. this is my uncle and he has gained more respect than you will ever get and or deserve

[@amandacogger7014]

Not all straight people can be trusted around children so your argument is flawed
