why are there no openly homosexual players?

Simply because, with all what society says about freedom and tolerance, it is not easy being openly gay, let alone being an openly gay sportsman. Sports are seen as the epitome of masculinity. And gays are never seen as masculine. \n\nAlso, sportsmen seek reaching the status of being sports' icons and idols for fans. How many a straight man, or woman, would want to idolize, or have any of their offsprings idolize, a gay man?

It is unfortunate that the majority of people in this country are still so scared of the possibility of gays living equal among them. Why else place such a ridiculous ban? Some will say that children raised by gay parents will have it a lot harder. I disagree. I am amazed at how open and honest the youth in todays schools are. The only ones I know of that are homophobic have learned the behavior and language from their parents. If the youth of today can accept each other, why can't the adults? Fear. My partner and I just placed a question on here about how to adopt. the answers ranged form "Yuck" to 'How dare we drag a child into our fantasy?" These answers just mirror the fear and ignorance of the majority of Americans. Gays are accepted as long as we are funny, and the life of the party, but as soon as we stop acting like the characters on a sit-com we become a threat. The ban doesn't surprise me. the real question here is what to do about? How do accepting, open minded, loving people fight against such fear?

Well.  I am definitely part of the league out to get them and expose their bs for what it is.\n\nHave you heard?  They are worried about the whole world -- THE WHOLE WORLD -- becoming Gay.  Now isn't THAT a trip???\n\nAnd get this.  They think that SUDDENLY Gay / Lesbians have shown up all over the world.  More trippin, eh!

What would you like to know?\nI have all the answers you need!\n\nWe are a "select touring side".  We are not a club side, and have never played together before.  This was our first of many tournaments that we will enter over the next few years.  Our goal was to play as unknowns.  No one knows who we are, or where we are from.  Although we were wearing pink, we are not a gay rugby team.  Just a bunch of guys having fun playing the game that we love while drinking a lot of beer.

Gay people.  \nIn addition, they do not reproduce at the rate of rabbits.  (Draw your own conclusions here).

Really, there's no reason to complain about separated sex sports.  It gives you a much higher chance of actually making it to the pro's if you're only competing with members of the same sex.\n\nBesides, I like to watch hot guys play sports.  Who wants boobs bouncing up and down on the courts or whatever the hell is being played?

Some do! While I myself am not gay, there are many men out there that overdo or unnecessarily act hostile to people in the homosexual community. This is because they secretly have the same desires - or at least curiosity. However, as with all things, this is not absolute. You will find some general straight males, (and females) who are deeply against homosexuality for other reasons than just being gay or lesbian themselves. This could be from a variety of things: religion, tradition, community, personal beliefs, etc.\n\nSo yes, while there are some incidents when men or women are acting out against gays as a way to conceal their own homosexuality - not all do. Most are just unnecessarily homophobic.

The same reason that heterosexual people can't ... it's in their programming.

More women are becoming fans of football, so it is no surprise that leagues are forming. I think it is great.  It gives women the chance to play a game that they love without all the "you can't play with the guys" stuff.  They play with full pads and contact like the guys.  A female league gives the approval of female fans that the NFL lacks.  Of course, many people think they are all gay. But most have husbands that support them.  What is wrong with loving a game enough to want to play?  Just because they don't have a penis doesn't mean they can't enjoy football.

None of the Australian men I have slept with seem to have homosexual tendencies. I find them quite well endowed and more than willing to slide into a wet female.

Homosexuals are as God made them.  What they do in the privacy of their own homes is their business.  I am sure there are some heterosexual couples out there who are into some pretty weird stuff.  Everyone is entitled to express their sexual feelings any way they are comfortable.

A classic myth is that softball is full of lesbians - an idea that emerged from one of the great pillars of intelligence, the U.S. Army, which historically conducted its witchhunts for lesbians by heading for the softball games. \nIt is true that lesbians play softball, even lots of lesbians; but many straight women play softball too. In total softball gear, it is hard to tell who is this, that, or the other thing: They all look like softball players.

It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.  I supposed it's possible that there is some sort of stigma against gay men because it is assumed that all gay men have anal sex.  Some straight people have a harder time with that image in their heads, than of women performing oral sex on each other.  \n\nWhatever the case is, it's a crazy thought.

kinda of answered this before and gave an answer similar to this- the number of gay guys may never be known cuz many are on the DL, you will never know how many there are with homophobia, prejudices, gay bashing, religion persecuting and stereotyping still going on. So many men still hide out of fear and live on the DL, so while they are still sharing beds with their girlfriends and wives, they slip off to have quick rendezvous with the guys on the side-once the gay community is accepted and not just tolerated, are given the same rights as every individual in the US, such as marriage and joint federal tax filing, don't ask don't tell policy in the military is abolished and every given freedom of any US citizen is given there will be no accurate percentage available-so wives live comfortably thinking your men are yours and remember they are forced to live lies due to the intolerance and lack of understanding of homosexuals in the world so until everyone is not afraid to be who they are and the world is a beautiful place...you will never know-

Because currently, it is a very taboo subject.\nPeople are scared of the unknown and things they don't understand, so to cover up for their ignorance they mock and disrespect gays.\n\nPeople can be real dumb sometimes.
