On the Aforementioned Study on Homosexuality in Sports
I was pleasantly surprised that such a large majority of those surveyed say that they would not have a problem with their favorite athletes coming out of the closet.
Curiously, while 86% of respondents are OK with gay male athletes, only 78% are OK with female homosexual athletes. I would have assumed the opposite. What's going on with that 8%?
I was interested to learn that 61% of respondents believe that "homosexuality is a way of life that should be accepted by society." I would have guessed 60-40 the other way.
And while those surveyed are overwhelmingly supportive of or OK with homosexual athletes, a significant majority guessed that an athlete's career would be damaged if he or she came out. Interesting.
(Sure, this hardly counts as "analysis." This might be a good time for the four or five of you who read this to post some comments.)
