Or some straight players sister, aunt, nephew etc. are gay and they are cool with it and they hear stories of them being treated differently?
Politics and religion are landmines on a team full of alpha males. They have a right to their opinion and express it. The problem is others on the team and fans can also express their opinion on the opposing side. And team chemistry is all ****ed up.

Everything I've read about the deal with Murphy is that while he stated his personal views, he has also been very tolerant. This notion that we all have to agree on the practice of homosexuality has gotten out of hand. I mean my gosh, is the local blood bank anti-gay because they ask men if they have ever had gay sex in their lifetimes.
Frankly, I wish more people were like Murphy - free to voice their on beliefs, but tolerant of those who do otherwise.
