Jace Plays Ball


Maybe I am just hoping that Ace with a J will log in, take offense and launch a blistering defense of high-school football - or maybe I just can't resist. (Deadspin)

High School Football: Gayer Than Gay?
This isn't easy to say so we're just going to say it: According to a new survey, one third of former high school football players have had sexual relations with other men. That's according to a new study to be published in the Journal of Sex Roles, which I totally just read by accident, and that's the truth.
Sociologist Dr. Eric Anderson, who is credited with being the first openly gay high school coach during his tenure at Huntington Breach High in the early nineties, conducted the study that suggests that "society's increasing open-mindedness about homosexuality and decreasing stigma concerning sexual activity with other men had allowed sportsmen to speak more openly about these sexual activities." It found that over one third of the men interviewed admitted to having contact with other men whether with women present or alone.
This raises many disturbing questions for all the former high school football players out there. Is it now a little uncomfortable to look back on all those pats on the butt, locker room towel antics and gay sex in the showers without thinking that they had some hidden, Freudian meaning?

He'll never join now... but all the same, its no surprise after all the homoerotic hazing we have been hearing about over the years.

Seriously, no straight man shoves a broompole up another's ass.

I had read an article on some lame website, that talked about how young men got made fun of and called fags and gay for not playing on the football team, i wanted to register and tell them that i was called a fag for playing but it meant i would have had to register for the gay site and i would have been called a fag again.

the circle always comes back to you being gay... interesting - Also it takes a great deal of guts for the over 30 bachelor to accuse his married brother of packing
