All thes professional sports teams have one thing in common: they are all made up of employees. The players are hired and fired at will, and they compete for a paycheck paid for by people buying merchandise and tickets for entertainment events.
Fuck whatever macho culture may exist. These are professional adults capable of acting like adults and adhering to whatever rules of conduct and behavior their employer expects of them. If someone doesn't like the thought of sharing a locker room with a gay guy, that's really his problem, and one he needs to get over much in the same way a lawyer or accountant would have to get over his issues with a gay person in his workplace. It's not on the gay person to make you comfortable. It's up to you to manage your shit.
It's just a job. There aren't lives at stake. It's not the military.
There is no way that any company would require women and men to shower together.
Gay men and straight men shower together all the time. Men (gay or straight) do not shower with women. Anatomical differences are more important here than sexual attraction.
Of course, harassment shouldn't be tolerated, and it's no different should a gay man do it to a straight man than a man to a woman.
However, if we just look at rape and sexual assault, it women have much, much, much, much more to fear from men than straights do from gays.
And lastly, most male-on-male sexual harassment is straight-on-straight.
If we're talking about the NFL, these are teams worth what, hundreds of millions maybe? And they have modern facilities. How do we even know they go into one communal shower like they're still in high school? Is it not possible for their stadiums/practice areas to put in individual stalls? I don't understand why we're just assuming that they "have to" shower together, if this is an issue in any way.
Nothing prevents them from accommodating any "employee" who feels uncomfortable by providing individual shower stalls.
