For all the talk about a gay player supposedly affecting locker room culture in the NFL, I could actually see it being an issue in MLB. That's simply because of all the players from Latin & South America. Most of these countries are way behind the US as far as gay rights go, and there seems to be a homophobic culture in some countries. It's just something that's part of the culture they were raised and as we have seen, it's not easy to change over night. There was a major leaguer recently who wrote a gay slur on his hat in Spanish, not thinking it would be a big deal.
Never been an issue, just ask Brady Anderson. This is an overblown issue, players are cool with it, even the Latin players, so long as they're getting a paycheck. Unlike the NFL, baseball still an individual sport. You perform, you're accepted. You suck (Dunn) and no one respects or likes you.
