Gay former NFL coach Katie Sowers says players didn’t care about her sexuality at all

In a wide-ranging talk at the Robert Dole Institute of Politics at University of Kansas, Sowers says players didn’t express any concern about her sexuality.“Professional football athletes put their job on the line daily and there were hundreds of people eager to take their place on the roster,” she said. “If an assistant coach, gay or not, could help a player improve on the field “they didn’t care who you are.”That’s an important point that often gets overlooked: pro athletes have a lot of responsibilities! With non-guaranteed contracts, the average NFL player is most concerned with keeping his job and paycheck. Somebody else’s sexuality is way, way down on the list.
