Traditionally sports are highly gender-conscious and are always in strict adherence to male culture, dominance and refusal of gender variations outside that of the traditional female and male. This institution defines and perpetuates society’s image of masculinity and rejection of homosexuality—the LGB (lesbian, gays and bisexual) which breeds fear of being identified as gay, and deny them the ability to express their gender orientation in fear of ruining their careers and being ostracized by their peers.
