I was unsure how to post this as it really isn't "news" so I through it in as a plain old new topic. I was reading the referenced article which goes into detail about how an openly gay player was expected to come out this past pre-season. The article was interesting, but nothing fantastical until I got to one particular part that made me go "hmmmm." A "team official' had this to say: "One team official gave an example of why there is such fear. He posed a question: What if a gay player came out in a place like the Dolphins locker room, where there was allegedly severe hazing?" I am in no way saying that Jonathon Martin is gay, nor do I have any reason to believe that he is, but what if he is and what we are seeing happen in Miami is a result of this? What would be the repercussions for Miami, the league, and the players of the Dolphins? Source: Bleacher Report
It would probably be unique at the beginning,but if the guy showed he was a talent on the field and contributed to the team,i think it would eventually work out.I am quite certain that the coach would have to keep a closer watch on the lockroom for the first few weeks just to make sure things were working out.
way i look at it in the real world is somebody being gay does not effect my relationship with them cause i am not gay,nor ever will i be. you treat all people no matter what color,race of sexual prefernce with respect,they will treat you that way. i would hope everybody would act this way.
