I have been thinking the same for a very long time. Swear to God, many male sport super fans are suffering from some form of same-sex attraction or are just outright homosexuals.
Don’t overthink it. I’ve been a super fan for most of my life. I’m not a homosexual. But enough is enough.
Sports used to be a passage to life and manhood for young boys. But is no longer that. I sat in the bullpen with the Milwaukee Brewers at 12. 1971 spring training. No fences. They chewed tobacco and talked about the women they were running with. My father laughed when I told him their stories.
It was the admiration George Patton talked about. Seems to me he wasn’t gay either.

Sounds like an asinine statement from someone who always hated sports but secretly wished he could be one of the regular guys in sports bars cheering something he could not begin to understand on the big screen.
I admire Tom Brady for who is is: an overlooked regular guy who rose to be one of the (if not THE) very best in history at his position. He is good looking and attracted chicks galore until he got a smoking hot wife.
I admire him like I do James Bond (or Donald Trump). He is very good at a game I love to watch and now miss terribly.
None of that makes me or any other guy sports fan (even “super fans” whatever those are) gay.
Call an average L.A. Raiders fan or any NASCAR fan gay and you can then call me from the hospital or your next of kin can call me to invite me to your service.
Maybe some just like the game they probably played as a kid or in school but weren't good enough to be at the college or professional level and respect those who were.
