How is it homophobic?

It embraces a specific (and problematic) view of masculinity and then assumes anything that doesn’t fit that view must be “gay.” Never mind that those uniforms might be better for performance, “real” men don’t wear skin tight clothes so it must be to appeal to gay men. And “real” men would be too uncomfortable to see other men in tight clothes, so “real” men would prefer lower-quality gameplay in order to not see men in tight pants. “Real” men avoid all physical contact, so a chest bump must mean they’re gay.

Huh? No. That's not what I meant at all. It has nothing to do with rejecting or assigning a certain type of masculinity to anyone. Where did that come from? I was talking about WATCHING football, not being a football player. And I don't think there's anything wrong with being gay either. (I guess I forgot to add "Not that there's anything wrong with it" to my post so of course you must assume I'm homophobic )

I played football in high school, and did wrestling, boxing, and karate in high school and college. I'll let you in on a little secret. You know who gets a sexual thrill from watching men come in contact with other men? It's not the male spectators - it is the female spectators. When our team won, or when I personally hit some guy so hard he didn't get up again, this caused a lot of panties in the audience to get sopping wet. Perhaps this does not apply to the gentle, refined readers of DCUM, but I assure you that all those sports (and many others besides) have groupies who will eagerly throw themselves at the feet of a strong, victorious man.*

An implicit bias, or implicit stereotype, is the unconscious attribution of particular qualities to a member of a certain social group

Seems like the implicit bias of everyone who's going ape-shit on this thread is that it's BAD to have homo-erotic feelings. I never said it was bad. That's in your own heads.

-- OP.

Nobody said being gay is bad. People are just saying the fact you think seeing tight pants turns people from straight to gay is homophobic.

Where did I say it turned someone from straight to gay?

How can watching all this not be a homo-erotic event for men?

If men watch college football is that a pedophilia-erotic event?

Yes -- where does that say it changes men from straight to gay? And college football players are men, not children, BTW.
