As a former coach in football, I can say that it probably wasn't intended to be "anti-homosexual" It was intended to be anti-effeminacy. It's a humorous way of telling the team to toughen up. You can get your ass kicked in practice or get it kicked in the game.

That's why I say I don't know enough about this coach's overall message. It could well be that this little bit of anti-homosexual ugliness was just careless shorthand for "man up", which is an appropriate message, no doubt. If anti-homosexual diatribes are not a stock bit of his coaching style, they I would be inclined to cut him some slack.
