I Guess There Is Nothing Wrong With It

Daniel Drezner posts about a survey by the Chicago Tribune of baseball players. One of the most interesting things to Dan (and I agree) is that 74% say having a gay teammate would not be a problem. I guess the players are more open minded than we think.

Considering most players already have a gay teammate then thats a good thing. Perhaps it would be good if a Hall-of-Fame catcher from the Midwest finally comes out.

It wasn't just the Chicago Tribune. It was Tribune Company newspapers -- LA Times, Allentown Morning Call, Hartford Courant, Newsday and I think the Washigton Post. There were others, but I don't remember. It was a good package though.

Don't underestimate the power of the other 26%. Due to convention, many of the 74% who are okay with homosexualityy may become passive and unsupportive in the face of homophobia.

"I guess the players are more open minded than we think."

Or that they lie to say what they know they're supposed to say.
