Why is this news?
John Amaechi has announced that he is Gay. So what?
Well Mr. Amaechi is probably the most successful British basketball player ever, spending 6 years kicking around the NBA. And, more importantly, he is the first NBA player to come out. I find it a little sad in this day and age that the fact that a journeyman professional sportsman happens to be gay is back page news.
Maybe John will be the first of many, but given the sad precedent of Justin Fashanu somehow I doubt it.

It's news because it is new; that is after all, what the news is/are. :)
