Gay Teammates

[MikeD]

Do these numbers surprise anyone? I thought (albeit naively) that pro athletes were probably a bit more homophobic...

Hockey with much different numbers than the other major sports. Hmmm...wonder why?

My guess would be highest % of non-Americans . . .

I'm glad that at least a majority in each sport is OK with the idea . . .

With all of those buff guys hugging and patting each other in various places... I kinda thought that there would be a higher percentage of gay guys in those sports than the percentage that said they were ok with the idea of a gay "teammate".

some of them need some gayeducation. anyone who voted "no" doesn't realize a gay guy isn't going to "surprise" you when you bend over. otherwise why would they care?

:stupid: If I was an ass to a gay man or woman where I worked, I'd be sued for sexual discrimination or harassment. The answer to that question should always be yes, even if for your own financial safety.
