Gabe Kapler: Gay| Trump| Politics| Wife| Net Worth
Gay:
Gabe Kapler named new manager of Philadelphia Phillies.
I laughed when I heard the news, because Kapler was a staple in the early days of Outsports in the beginning of the 2000s. We had a very active discussion board and the Hot Jocks section was the most popular section.
Trump:
Kapler, unintentionally, also was a figure of liberation for gay male sports fans at the time. Outsports launched its discussion board in 2000 and it became an oasis for men who were both gay and sports fans, long thought an oxymoron.
Many felt uncomfortable posting as openly gay on mainstream sports boards and Outsports was a safe space.
Politics:
They could discuss the merits of the DH, argue baseball rules (we had a section where an MLB umpire who was gay answered rules questions), talk the NFL, NBA and NHL playoffs and argue over the same stuff any other fan would.
The one difference was photos — posting pics of bikini-clad women was standard on mainstream boards, but anyone who dared post male beefcake was quickly labeled gay or worse.
Wife:
In 1999, Kapler married his high school sweetheart Lisa Jansen after seven years of dating.
Despite their history, the couple eventually parted ways in 2013.
At this time, the exact reason for the couple’s divorce remains unclear, but it was reportedly amicable.
Net Worth:
Having a glorious baseball career for 12 long years, Kapler has everybody curious about his net worth and salary.
Gabe Kapler’s net worth is estimated to be about $30 million as of July 2019. He made the list of most famous baseball players and wealthiest celebrities.
