2 reported gay players in 1993, according to teammates. But that is not the same as publicly out. There's a difference. Christian gay-haters know full well that gay athletes exist. They can't stand the idea of society accepting it. Plus, some of their vitriol is sheer grandstanding. Their bullshit paradigm rests on the notion that "Satan is attacking Christians on all sides," and so they believe they have to create bogey men whenever possible to keep motivating their followers to be true zealots. It all depends on fear to keep driving their evangelical movement.

It's the Christians as usual...they have struggled with sexuality since the dawn of man and will continue to struggle as long as they are programmed to blindly follow and obey...sad for them...they are missing out in some GREAT SEX?????

Because Christians are seeing homosexuality become normalized. Pushback is expected before acceptance fills in and just like interracial marriage, homosexuality will soon become a non-issue.

People want to make mountains out of mole hills. Based on religious bs, fear,etc. , which it gets hiped up today.
