One of the most feared enforcers in Australian rugby league - a 6-foot-6 forward known for being one of the hardest hitters in the sport - just came out as gay, and the whole sport is paying attention.

His name is Kane Evans, and for American readers who've never watched rugby league, picture football with no pads and no stopping.

Evans played the bruising position up front, making more than 130 appearances for top Australian clubs and representing Fiji at two World Cups.

On the field he was paid to be intimidating. Off it, he'd known he was gay since his mid-teens and spent two decades hiding it.

In an emotional interview on Nine's "100% Footy," he said the fearsome persona was partly an escape. "I went down every other avenue to build up these walls to be someone, to escape who I am," he said.

He also revealed that people had tried to blackmail him by threatening to out him.

Now 34 and more than 130 days sober after struggles with addiction, Evans becomes only the second openly gay man in the league's history, after Ian Roberts came out in 1995 - 31 years ago.

"Now I've spoken about it, I've shattered all those chains," he said. "They've lost their power."
