In some people's tiny minds calling someone a fairy or fa@@ot is equivlent to stabbing or shooting them. ESPN has a lot of time to fill so every story needs to be overblown.
Just take the recent story of a ND linebacker being fooled or the four gay NFL players expected to 'come out' soon? It's a non-sports story and should be covered by E not ESPN.
And does anyone remember Wade Davis former Titan, Redskin and Seahawk? He came out and no one seemed to bat an eye.
Why?
Beacause it doesn't matter to the vast majority of sports fans who see a football player, not a gay or straight man no matter how hard ESPN and the media at large try to make it relevent.
