A post shared by PK Creedon (@pk514)PK Creedon and Mike van Reekum are a football couple. The NFL publicist and digital content creator first told their coming out stories in 2015, showing gay men around the world that it’s OK to love both pigskin and boys.
Mike, who played college ball at Hampden-Sydney College, a small, prestigious liberal arts college for men in Southern Virginia, says he used football as a way to obfuscate his queer identity. “I’m good at football.
That’s a masculine thing, and people would never associate me with being gay,” he said.

His football fandom is now intertwined with his gay life, documented via viral videos. One of the latest was shared across social media Sunday, as tens of millions of NFL fans experienced a seesaw of emotions watching their favorite teams play. (The Seattle Seahawks, Mike’s team of choice, were throttled by the Buffalo Bills.) As every NFL fan knows, anything can happen on any given Sunday.
