several things: you can't argue that he's for certain gay; nothing has been confirmed.

HOWEVER: straight IS NOT default. You can't assume someone is straight as default. He is just as likely to be gay as he is to be straight (and honestly this is a sports anime...ya'll know)

also like...people can be bisexual! or asexual! or pan, or aro, etc.

the takeaway here: if nothing a character's sexuality is not confirmed, you can't say for sure. And you can't just assume they aren't gay. again, heterosexual is NOT DEFAULT. they could be any sexuality, so let people imagine whatever they want.
