Manage episode 178217151 series 1417783
Teammates at Villanova, Will Sheridan first told Randy Foye that he is gay while they were in college. Will was the starting power forward, Randy the Team Captain of an elite Wildcat basketball squad. Randy reacted to Will’s news by supporting his brother. As did Will’s teammates. They had a team bond and trust that would not be broken. Keep in mind that this was 2003-2006, so prior to the courageous stories of openly gay athletes such as Michael Sam and Jason Collins. Will waited until a few years after college to discuss his story with the media. He never wanted to be a distraction. He needed basketball and his team was there for him. Unfortunately things were a bit different for Will when he came out to his parents. This episode is the story of Will Sheridan, rapper and performer living in Brooklyn, currently touring around the world. He has a passionate voice built to inspire. And yes Will is gay and very proud of it. He shares his personal journey in hopes that it may make it easier for others who may be going through some of what he experienced while growing up. Will Sheridan is known as #Giant and is clearly an Outside Shot.
