when gay female athletes have been a norm for forever? Look at elite female athletics such as basketball, softball and soccer.

It fits the liberal/media agenda bro.

It makes red-blooded, rough and tumble type, christian males uneasy

Because athletes, especially football are seen as very tough and "manly" while gays are usually seen as "soft and girly" if that makes any sense
Just trying to word it as simply as I could.

It challenges preconcieved notions about athletes and masculinity for one
Its a lot harder to explain a lesbian being good at basketball because she is conceived to be "manlier" while a gay man is thought of in the opposite mind set so its crazy to think that a gay "feminine" player could be a good player in football
Thats why the world didnt explode when a kicker came out a couple weeks earlier

Because a male deciding he wants to forgo the laws of nature and choosing to have butt sex with other males is something that should be celebrated and proclaimed good from the highest mountain top. That's the world these days.

It's easier than delivering real news.

Gay females may be the norm in sports, but are gay males?

There's no money in women sports.
And being gay is feminine. It's hard for a man to come out around a bunch of manly males.

It's not, but it's sensationalism, which is what entertainment is about.
