How many straight men welcome gay men to share a shower?

Culliver's feelings are shared by 99 percent of straight men. It's not unfortunate. It's just a fact.

I wouldn't mind showering with gay men. I would mind showering with ANY men. They give stalls to shit in but for showers they can't afford some privacy? Obviously the concept of locker room showers was invented by a really horny gay man trying to get laid. "Hey? Let's all stand in a circle showering while facing each other!" He's not checking out their junk, he's looking for a twinkle in their eye when they check out his.

Playing football with someone gay? Who cares?

What concerns me more about all this is the concept of mandatory "sensitivity training" and various other thought police concepts that are in vogue these days. If you don't like what he says, don't hire him, don't resign him, don't cheer for him, don't go have a beer with him after the game, but trying to stamp out unpopular opinion is uncool. Because who gets to decide what's the right opinion to have?

Nothing more annoying than walking into the locker room and seeing that same circle of nude men circling the steam room asking you "what's up"?

Listening to the wrap up show and booey was just able to reference artie's super bowl thing without every mentioning artie

He said if eric was in the super bowl and made those comments (re gay bashing the homo room) he would have to issue an apology.

Sneaky fucking monkey

I agree with everything you wrote except that while it's perfectly fine to have an opinion but when that opinion is that others "should/need to" stay away and/or they (in this case, the "they" is gay men) need to be silent about who they are?

Yeah, that's the line that was crossed. He doesn't get to articulate an opinion that suggests others on his team, without saying or doing a thing to him, need to deny who they are because it makes him uncomfortable.

Fuck him.

Who the hell looks forward to showering with other dudes? Not me.

Did Mike Piazza ever officially come out after retiring? I thought he was gonna be the gay Jackie Robinson at one point.

In the NFL, Rob Gronkowski seems the most likely to come out.....or get caught and be forced to.....since he's a loose cannon and a meathead and doesn't seem like the type who will be able to hide it until after his career is over....
