Americans
say they're ready for openly gay players, according to a
HuffPost/YouGov poll conducted after Michael Sam became the first openly
gay player to be drafted by an NFL team. But the survey also found
lingering discomfort with gay athletes publicly celebrating in a way
that straight athletes routinely do.
According to the new poll, 60 percent of Americans said they would
approve of their favorite sports team signing an openly gay player,
while 20 percent said they would disapprove. Among NFL fans in
particular, 65 percent said they would approve and 21 percent said they
would disapprove.
