Providing further evidence of the hesitancy in professional sports to accept homosexual athletes as equals, a new poll published Thursday revealed that more than 97 percent of NFL players are still not ready to date a gay teammate. Throughout the league theres a lot of archaic attitudes toward homosexuality, and Im just not sure NFL players are comfortable enough to enter a monogamous relationship with a gay teammate, said an anonymous player who felt that a steady dating situation with a homosexual teammate wouldnt be worth the distractions in the locker room. I think most players would be open to a one-night stand with a gay teammate, but I really cant see them tolerating a long-term homosexual relationship. The poll also revealed that 50 percent of active players would prefer not to know the sexual orientation of a teammate they were fucking.
