Survey: 86 Percent Of NFL Players Comfortable With Gay Teammate

[RealGM Wiretap]

ESPN surveyed 51 players and 86 percent said that they would be comfortable with a gay teammate.

Forty-four players said a teammate's sexual orientation didn't matter to them, and 39 said they would be comfortable showering around a gay teammate. But 32 players said they had teammates or coaches who used homophobic slurs last season.

Michael Sam is the first openly gay NFL prospect.

86% of 51 is 43.86. Did they survey a partial person? 45 of the 51 surveyed were probably gay/ bi players anyway.
