OMG, thats hysterical. When do you graduate from high school??

Just FTR, its about split 50/50, some players are comfortable showering with gays, and the other 50% is not (at least on my team).

Here’s some quotes from NFL:

So you see, I’m not the only one. And since we live in a democracy, and therefore 50% of any given sports teams has rights too, we should be given separate showering stalls and dressing rooms.

Its as simple as that.

And who cares if a bunch of pinko lefties are offended or not.  
You guys get offended at pretty much everything that doesnt suit your ultra left-wing political views
