    [QUOTE]“I don’t think football is ready for [an openly gay player] just yet,” said an NFL player personnel assistant. “In the coming decade or two, it’s going to be acceptable, but at this point in time it’s still a man’s-man game. To call somebody a [gay slur] is still so commonplace. It’d chemically imbalance an NFL locker room and meeting room.”

            See, it's the chemical imbalance that's so worrying.
    

    It’s funny how these anonymous executives paint the picture of NFL teams as so fragile that the addition of one openly gay player could throw the whole organization into chaos. Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Riley Cooper was videotaped saying the N-word last offseason, and went on to be a key cog in the team’s surprise NFC East division championship. The Miami Dolphins were embroiled in a hazing scandal between linemen Richie Incognito and Jonathan Martin. The team managed to come one victory from the playoffs. The New England Patriots lost tight end Aaron Herndandez to a MURDER TRIAL and still made AFC Championship Game. Locker room distractions are overblown. If the Eagles and Dolphins could survive despite those scandals, teams shouldn’t have any problem rallying around a positive story like Michael Sam’s.
