A player’s sexual orientation has nothing to do with how they perform on the field. I’ve played with some gay girls throughout my career of sports and it didn’t change whether we won or lose, got along, or were talked about for having someone gay on the team. I believe players should be able to open about their sexuality. As for the locker room, if there was someone on your team that’s been there 5 years and finally tells the team they are gay some will have something to say about it and others will continue to go about getting ready for the game as they have done before. I believe it would make everyone a little more at ease if players could be open about their sexual orientation.

Florio was right when he said "it shouldnt matter". Herm Edwards also said on ESPN "He can be gay or straight, but all I wanna know is can he play football?". My dilemma with this situation is who do you accomodate for in the locker room, the gay athlete or the rest of the team? I say this because there is tons of exposure in the locker room and if players dont feel comfortable in the locker room it could possibly hurt your team unity. That being said, do you get another place for the gay athlete or other athletes to get ready? I believe once this can of worms is opened up and people start glorifying it that it will become a problem. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12282138868857870725noreply@blogger.com
