UGA to gay athletes: We welcome you .


UGA's athletics chief says the Athens campus would embrace a gay athlete, just days after a player on a rival SEC team came out on his way to the NFL.
 UGA Athletics Director Greg McGarity via Columbus Ledger-Enquirer when asked about Missouri's Michael Sam coming out: "I think, and I've heard others say this, that you would hope in time that this would not even be an issue," athletics director Greg McGarity said Tuesday. 
"I think our environment with our coaches and our student-athletes has always been one of acceptance of really everything," McGarity said. "Our environment is to be inclusive. Our environment is to be color blind. Our environment is (to say) that you're a student at the University of Georgia, and that's what matters most."
