'''David Marquete "Dave" Kopay''', football running back who became the "first professional sport athlete to declare his homosexuality" when he came out as gay in 1975 Dave Kopay was born 28 Jun 1942 in Chicago, Cook County, [[Illinois]]. He came out as gay in 1975, three years after the end of his nine-year professional football career. In an interview in 2002 he stated that he had been working for 20 years for a linoleum company in Los Angeles that his uncle owned, as a buyer for movie studios. At the bottom of that interview is an email address for him, but my message to that address in 2008 bounced as "user unknown". ==Works== *''The David Kopay Story: An extraordinary self-revelation'', by David Kopay and Perry Deane Young; Arbor House, New York. 1977 ==Sources== *[http://espn.go.com/otl/world/kopay.html "Kopay: Apologizes to Aikman"], 18 Dec 1998.
