Debate:Why are there so few homosexual athletes (view source)
Revision as of 00:41, November 4, 2008

I know professional athletes tend to not be gay, but I'm not sure the trend extends to amateur athletes. When I was in high school, nearly a third of our football team was openly gay. Maybe the drive needed to become a professional athlete is not common in many homosexuals, but because amateur sports require less drive, their weak will is successfully hidden?

:If you don't mind me asking, how old are you? I just want to place when you were in high school - recently, last decade, older? -[[User:Foxtrot|Foxtrot]] 19:40, 3 November 2008 (EST)

Maybe the sports world environment is more hostile to gay people? That would both discourage gay people from entering the sports world and make any gay people in the sports world less likely to be public about it. [[User:LiamG|LiamG]] 19:41, 3 November 2008 (EST)
