Why are so many sports seen as being homophobic?

1 Answer

Answer :

I’d say yes, I can’t say too much but here one of our major sports we have someone who is hiding he is gay. I know this since he is having an affair with a gay guy friend of mine. The thinking behind this is so hard to fathom. Are they afraid they can’t kick the ball straight (sorry no pun intended).
