Discussion Scenario: As the Athletic Director at a DI institution, you receive a phone call from the dad of one of your men's soccer student-athletes. He is concerned that his son is not getting the consideration for playing time that he deserves, AND that the coach is likely not giving his son that consideration because his son is an openly gay man.

• What are the key issues here to consider before taking any actions?
• What do you say to the dad?
• What if any actions do you take with your head coach?
