Let's see what the players' reactions are on the field and in the locker room showers.

Yes, let's, especially if a gay player seals a playoff win with an interception or a 30-yard run with under two minutes left.

That may be true in the PC world, but reality is a bitch.

Reality is that for most fans, GMs and owners, winning isn't everything, it's the only thing.

If there were truly no consequences to coming out of the closet in the NFL, why do the players have to be talked into doing it? The answer is obvious.

What happens if the gay player loses the game because he fumbled at the goal line or threw an interception? You don't think the player will be the target of gay slurs from fans? And what about the fans of the other team? It would matter not whether the gay player is the hero or the goat.

I suspect that having a gay player will be a headache for any owner. What happens if you want to get rid of him? Will the player claim discrimination? And what about the locker room? Will some players have a problem showering with the gay member of the team?

You can minimize the problems, but human nature and biology are hard to control. Are you gay? Not that there is anything wrong with that.
