Why is there a double standard that straight men don't have rights?

The way he’ll be treated once inside an NFL locker room, though, is a different story.

If he ever gets in the locker room in the frst place. And that's a big if. They won't say so publicly but I'll bet there will be players from every team talking privately to coaches, telling them they don't want to share a locker room with a fag...the team doesn't need the distraction etc etc.

Headline of the Day Poll
Should homosexuals be allowed in the NFL showers?

50% Yes. Homophobia should be rejected.
4% I don’t know.
46% No. Heterosexuals have rights, too.

They will be railroaded out of football if they complain. Remember, the NFL is a billion dollar business, and billion dollar businesses support the left and crush anyone who disagrees with the left.

given this new precedent, i look forward to being able to go into the female locker room anytime i want. they’ve already let women in the locker room with men - which i oppose.

if a homosexual man, who is attracted and has sex with men, can be in a locker room with straight men, why can’t a man, who is attracted to and has sex with women, be in a locker room with women?

seriously, the lib position justifies it, and it’s insane.

Mr. Sam should strongly consider getting some AFLAC supplemental disability insurance.

why do straight men have to put up with being ogled sexually by homosexuals in the locker room?

it’s like saying women have to put up with men ogling them sexually in their locker room.

I think if the truth be told, gay NFL players who have been “outed,” are usually cut quickly and quietly but for other reasons. I can give names here, but won’t.

I might be wrong, and the current generation of ball players I’m told don’t care if you’re red, blue, white, gay or whatever, but there are still conservative veterans on teams, so I would be entirely surprised if this guy is successful in the NFL. With the amount of talent out there, why draft a guy who will cause disharmony on your team from get go.

Ten years from now? Who knows.

“If he ever gets in the locker room in the first place.”

I'm thinking he “came out” when he did in an attempt to use this issue as leverage to guarantee a spot in the NFL. He's setting up his “ if you don't draft me your discriminating against me because I'm a homo” defiance.

Nope. If they go on TV and complain they'll have hell to pay. But not if they keep it in the locker room. Ever played sports? Ever been part of a locker room? There's going to be a bunch of complaints.

You have to wonder what is it about pro football that made it such a target for such an attack.

He's already called too much attention to himself. Now if a team sings him, they know they'll be accused of homophobia if they release him. He should have waited until he had a contract to come out of the closet. He'll have to hope one of the more PC teams might want him just because he's a homo.

An ex-NFL player on my local sports talk station says that gays in the NFL are going to have a really tough time with devoutly Christian African-Americans in the locker room.

It was manly and even with all of the felons in the league there are many good Christian men in the NFL. Libs always destroy and never build up.

When I was in the army, I shared a barracks with a number guys who were gay and it was no big deal to any of us straight guys.

The big difference however was that they minded their own business and conducted their private lives just like the rest of us....privately.

The militant homosexuals have destroyed that once peaceful cohabitation.......

I don’t think press of any gender or orientation should be in the locker-room

I was thinking this morning that football and hockey are contact sports....people get scrapes, cuts, nosebleeds....

who wants to be that close to a gay man who might be carrying hiv or hep c?.....

maybe this is why we have the push for touch football and soft play...
