The made up word "homophobe"has always irritated me.
As for the 53, good question,you'd think it would be a round number unless there was some scientific reason for it to be precisely 53.
maybe it is something like:
44 - 2 full teams
1 -3rd QB
3 - K,P,LS
5- extra offense skill, OL, DL, LB, DB
Of course rosters don't look like that but maybe they evolved since the number was set.

Of course that's what a homophobe would say
