520    Publisher description: Using interviews with openly gay 
       and closeted team-sport athletes, Eric Anderson examines 
       how homophobia is reproduced in sport, how gay male 
       athletes navigate this, and how American masculinity is 
       changing. By detailing individual experiences, Anderson 
       shows how these athletes are emerging from their athletic 
       closets and contesting the dominant norms of masculinity. 
       From the locker rooms of high school sports, where the 
       atmosphere of "don't ask, don't tell" often exists, to the
       unique circumstances that gay athletes encounter in 
       professional team sports, this book analyzes the agency 
       that openly gay athletes possess to change their 
       environments.
