"It was inclusive back then and it is inclusive now. It's important that every boy and girl and man and woman can go to the game and feel they can be treated the same as everyone else." Ian Roberts - the first and only professional men's rugby league player to come out as gay so far - has been pushing the NRL to introduce a Pride Round for a number of years.
