Are all sports inherently gay?

I think there must be an inherent gayness in sports. I went to the Red Sox / Blue Jays game at Fenway Park last night. Excellent game, the Sox won. Beckett and Halladay both pitched extremely well. I was struck by this sight on the field before the game.






Now, obviously that is the trainer stretching out one of the Blue Jays. It was quite a sight when he was working on big Frank Thomas (who almost killed me with a foul ball) right there. As much as I know that's what he was doing, at times it almost looked like a gay porn video. The world of sports is famous for naked men in locker rooms, butt slapping, and "working each other out." Isn't it strange that there have been almost no openly gay athletes? My guess is that sports stars, knowing the inherent gayness of their rituals, act out as vehemently homophobic, just to feel more secure in their masculinity. You'd think scoring touchdowns and hitting homeruns would do that for them, but guess not. You know what they say. 1 in 10.
I know, I know. No mention of S here. Sorry. Haven't seen him since my last post.
