Why the 'Mans Mans' Game is an Insult to Men

When watching Training Rules we saw that coming out of the closet is one of the hardest things to do because you are surrounded by mostly straight men. So when putting it out there that your are a homosexual on that team and in the locker room mostly everyone looks at you different including the coaches no matter how much of an impact you have on a team. A lot of men are uncomfortable with being in a locker room with a man that is homosexual knowing that they are showering and changing their clothes in front of him. The case where the Missouri football player entering the draft and coming out to the world that he was gay it changed his draft stock from being in the first round to the second or third round. This worries teams because there are players that just don't like gay people and teams feel that it will mess up the chemistry by making them deal with that. For right now the tough contact sports are no safe places for LGBT athletes because other players don't want them touching the or anything of that sort. I feel that we as a culture should except people as they are and not think about a person being gay.
