You. You are still the dip shit dumb ass. Because, let’s see:

From those articles, it specifically stated two athletes who were willing to say they were uncomfortable and _speculated_ there were more. No hard facts beyond those two. So, going with the pulling things out of my ass option, I speculate that you’re wildly wrong. Why? Because anyone with even half a brain (which you obviously lack) who can grasp the fact that they’ve undoubtedly been sharing locker room space with gay people since, well, there’s been locker rooms, understand that if they’ve done it in the past without incident, the future will probably be no different. Not to mention the repercussions if some poor, hapless gay fellow made the mistake of hitting on anybody.

Ha. You’re more of an idiot than I first thought and it amuses me greatly that you keep replying to me and trying to convince me that there are literally hoards of other homophobes on your side.
