it's symbolically important, and it's not like out of 10 000 athletes there are only 12 who actually are gay... maybe this makes it more comfortable for the non-out athletes to cross that bridge. i guess the biggest hindrance is the desire for endorsement deals, which are sadly still very discriminatory in their awarding.
