This market resolves YES if, before the official premiere date of Season 2 of Heated Rivalry, a currently active U.S. professional athlete:

1. Publicly identifies as LGBTQ+ for the first time, and

2. Credits Heated Rivalry (by name) as an inspiration or factor in their decision to come out, in a verifiable public statement (e.g., interview, social media post, press conference, or published article).

The athlete must be actively rostered in a major U.S. professional sports league (e.g., NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, WNBA, MLS) at the time of the statement.
