And this is why the whole thing is a circus side show. This guy wants to be the next grievance poster boy. Frankly, no one really cares whether there are gay people in the nfl, nba or the office next door. It has become patently clear this guy wants to be a gay community hero first and anything else second.
As a fan, it makes zero difference if gay guys are playing. Players have a right to have misgivings in the looker room. From group dressing to showers to locker room talk, having a homosexual there could be a problem. It is not a problem with certainly, but there is lots of room for potential issues of one kind or another. With a grievance seeker, it is nearly certain. There have undoubtably been gay people in the league throughout its history, but now we are going see the circus that results. Sam is likely to get cut as a seventh rounder. Then, the fun will really begin. Alternatively Fisher will leave him on the roster over others and cause other issues.
Your analysis is spot on. As I read another person say, if someone comes out at work and says “I’m gay”, the reaction may well be “Why are you telling us this?”. So, Sam is being a bit of a Crusader. Maybe some forces behind him are pushing him to act a certain way. You never know.
To be honest players should be able to sue for sexual harassment. They are after-all being forced to undress and shower in front of someone who finds them sexually attractive. What difference does it make if it is a man or a women?
