What exactly are thinking is going to happen in the locker room if Sam is in there? Do you think he's going to be leering at some other player's ass? Do you think he's going to be grabbing someone's junk in the shower stalls? The fact that he got through a Div.1A college program without any locker room issues coming up tells me all I need to know on that subject.
I haven't noticed that, but I suppose if you're sensitive to it you'd notice it more than I. Growing up in Brooklyn, NY, I've known gay people nearly my entire life. I don't see their issues as being different from the issues any other minority deals with when they're not being given full equal status.
Of course it does. Prior to coming out nationally, he could have counted on being drafted within a certain window and now that's in question. Some are even speculating he won't get drafted at all. He wants to be a professional football player and he's risking that, not to benefit himself, but to benefit those that come after. In my book, that's courage.
Nonsense. Homophobic bigots are paid very well over at Fox News. It takes no courage at all to buy into negative stereotypes and let those that propagate them lead you around by the nose.
If straight men were a longtime oppressed minority, sure. But since straight men have always been the group at the top of the ladder, it wouldn't be much of a revelation, would it?
Did someone stop you from speaking? Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from criticism. Anyone in this country is allowed to say all manner of stupid, offensive, bigoted things, and anyone else is allowed to point out the stupidity, the offensiveness, and the bigotry.
