When Michael Sam is drafted — it should be a matter of when not if, because if Sam liked lady bits, there would no question he would get drafted — Sam would be the first openly gay professional athlete in a major American team sport.

NFL players aren't a bunch of cloistered monks. A large number are adulterers, alcoholics, drug addicts, roid ragers, and just general hell raisers. The idea that a few gay players might somehow ruin that wonderful experience is ludicrous.
Gay athletes have been around since, well, athletics (if we&#039;re to believe some of those Greek urns.) And that&#039;s been pretty much <i>not a problem</i> for the last couple of thousand years.
So the problem isn&#039;t the <i>existence</i> of gay players . . . it&#039;s 100% a problem of other people <i>knowing</i> that they&#039;re gay. The macho man can slap another man&#039;s butt, but only if he doesn&#039;t know, because that changes everything, even though <i>it changes nothing outside of your thick skull, you idiot.</i> Pretty fucking obvious, isn&#039;t it, that <i><b>the problem is not with the gay person. </b></i>
Religulous homophobic argle bargle, translated into logical language: &quot;The Gay Agenda is persecuting us good Christian sportballers by infringing our Constitutional right not to know!&quot;
Looking forward to the next colossal dope slap issued by the Supreme Court ... and hoping that Scalia gets whiplash.
<i>Mongo not gay!!</i>

Well, at least there is no Muncie Mastiffs in the NFL, so Santorum isn&#039;t right yet.
There is a decided pussy bias in organized sports.
