My only issue with this is if the gay guys start taking offense to locker room talk and make a big deal about discriminatory comments in the locker room.
Everybody that has ever played football knows that its no holds barred in the locker room. Racist, sexist, and homophobic insults are the norm and not to be taken seriously.
I'd never have a problem with a gay teammate unless he started to complain about people using occasionally using the word "fag" and what not in a locker room because it would disrupt the atmosphere and environment. If everyone starts tip toeing around the locker room and watching their p's and q's then I think there is a possibility that it could mess with team chemistry.
Maybe not, I don't know, but I think it could change the dynamics of the locker room. Anyone agree or disagree?
