Why the Mans Mans' Game is an Insult to Men

In the movie we watched it talked about how it was not okay to play on the Penn State women's basketball and be an openly gay women. Also the articles talked about how difficult it was for athletes to come out and be gay and the fear they had about what their teammates would say. I feel that sports has become more accepting to be gay and be an athlete but it is still something that is completely acceptable. Many athletes have a lot of fear about coming out and don't feel like sport is a safe place to be who they truly are. This makes them have to live a double life and creates a lot of depression and stress. I personally don't feel that sport is a safe place for LGBT people because sport is still extremely homophobic. In order to make sport a more safe place they should have workshops about acceptability and openness to all types of differences, whether it be religion, sexuality, or race.
