I have a big-name writer for a friend and he thinks it will take around thirty years for full acceptance: "You might keep the straight jacket on for ten more years, tops. And then you might manage to make the few 'out' players miserable for five to ten years after that. But in thirty years or so, it'll be like watching a game with some very old white guys today who still get worked up when they see a black player: nothing."
