I had no idea what was in store when we pulled up to a nondescript building in the seedy part of town.
I'm the new wide receiver on my college team and I'm going to have to outshine my competition if I want a starting spot. But instead of impressing my coaches, I quickly learn it's my teammates who decided wether I'd become a football star or a benchwarmer for the entire season.
When a few teammates invite me for a wild night downtown, I know that I'll agree to anything if it means I can make it with them. It turns out they have a little initation, and it requires entering the Alumni Bathhouses, a steamy batthouse for current and former athletes.
Before I know it, I'm alone in a room with a hairy, forty-something former footballer. If I want a spot on the team, I'll have to earn it through him.
I'm totally straight, but that's about to go down the drain—along with a few other things...
A freshman wide receiver on a football team at the college he goes to wants to meet a few of his team members, and his friend refers him to an upperclassman who he'll find at the bathhouse. Yes, that encounter tells him that he's gay.
