Because we care.
The Smithsonian? Your original statement I objected to was: "If 10% of the general population is homosexual (that number is generally accepted as an estimate)"
10% is NOT generally accepted. You supported that by posting the Kinsley theory article, which was debunked, but THAT article said it might be somewhat sort of kind of true. It's not.
Yeah. It may be 5, 6% tops. Period.

Americans Still Greatly Overestimate U.S. Gay Population
U.S. adults estimate that nearly one in four Americans (23.6%) are gay or lesbian. Gallup has previously found that Americans have greatly overestimated the U.S. gay population.news.gallup.com

A record 4.5 percent of U.S. adults identify as LGBT, Gallup estimates
The increase was driven primarily by millennials, 8.2 percent of whom identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender, according to the findings.www.nbcnews.com

Bisexual people also make up the majority of LGBT Americans.www.advocate.com
New poll finds record number of Americans identify as LGBT
Nearly percent of U.S. adults identify as LGBT, with bisexuality emerging as the most common identity with this group.thehill.com
'Society is changing': A record 5.6% of US adults identify as LGBTQ, poll shows. And young people are driving the numbers.
A new survey by Gallup shows that more adults are identifying as LGBTQ than ever before – an increase driven by Generation Z.www.usatoday.com
Yes, Smithsonian Magazine. Did you bother to read it?
Once again, you can quote fifty more articles which state that around 5% of the population "identifies," but it doesn't prove your "5,6% tops" assertion. You seem to struggle with the concept that the actual number, including those who don't care to outwardly identify themselves as queer, might be significantly higher. For the umpteenth time, you don't know, and I don't know what that figure truly is. Period.
I did find it ironic, however, that one of your own sources there noted that U.S. adults actually estimate 23.6% of the population to be gay or lesbian. Gee, sounds like the public might generally accept an even higher number than 10%, doesn't it?
I come on here every 5-7 days in the summertime, bud. I've got better things to do.
You made my point by quoting my original estimate of 40 to 170 players, which is indeed not a specific number. Thanks.
How about the car you live in? Wanna bet that instead?Trailer? I wish. I'm actually homeless. It's fun to pretend on the internet, isn't it? I bet you're one of the smartest guys in the world and a billionaire.. if only I were you
Haha never seen someone so mad over something so stupid...Goodluck on your continued journey sorting through the number of gays.
Not mad, bro. And not even a millionaire. Just smarter than you. And also amused by you saying the same nonsensical things over and over again because you have no argument. Please, tell me again how I don't understand percentages...you missed that one the last couple of posts.
They probably do believe it's that high because of the steady dose of homosexuality we get from movies, television, and educational institutions trying to normalize it.
I have gay friends and relatives of both sexes, doesn't bother me, do your thing. Well, except for my one gay cousin who is a convicted child molester but tells me I'm the one who's mentally ill because I'm a Trump supporter.
I've explained to you since my first post how percentages work and you STILL aren't grasping it lol.
You're not a millionaire? I don't believe it. You saying that you're smarter than me? A real shocker.
I remember when I used to say such things back in grade school. Ah, the memories..
Might have problems if he plays against Ritchie Incognito though.
(Let's see how many get that reference.)
(Let's see how many get that reference.)
Yup. I've posted this before. It's literally every show. You can't watch a Netflix series without 30% of the cast being homosexual.
I have no problem whatsoever with people's sexual orientation. I do have a problem with being lied to and sold. Don't come to my door selling me **** I don't want. Don't lie to me and tell me 25% of America is gay. And don't sensationalize things that aren't true, like in Hollywood purporting that we are all gay. It's no different than the media over-sensationalizing police killings of blacks, or any other topic. The intent is to deceive and to try to shape a different world.
As did you. And you don't know, either.
Difference is, I gave a wide range of possibilities, and what I "spouted" is that given the fact there are 1700 active players (and hundreds more on practice squads) there most likely exists many more than one gay NFL player.
You and this other reject can't seem to grasp the simplicity of that argument. After these last couple of replies, I'll agree to give up attempting to make you guys understand the concept.
Yeah, you explained it really well, Pascal. Keep telling yourself that. What you can't seem to grasp is the fundamentals of probability and statistics.
Nope, not a millionaire yet. You said some bullshit about me being one of the smartest guys in the world, and I said that I was not, just smarter than you. It's not a grade school taunt, it's called context.
Let's see if you've matured enough to let this thread die like it should have a month ago. I highly doubt it. I'm done. Go Steelers.
Thank you. That's all this has been, your theory. Facts disagree with your "concept."
You're welcome. The polls you referenced over and over are not "facts," btw. If polls were factual, Trump would have lost to Clinton. But you can stick with your theory that there's only one gay guy out of about 2000 NFL players, and I'll stick with mine. Go Steelers.
LMAO, go back and point to one post where I said there is one gay man in the NFL.
I said your assertion that 10% of Americans are gay is false. Stay on the topic.
How many NFL players do you suppose identify as women? I bet Tom Brady is the only one.
Lol yes.. I don't know anything about statistics. That's too funny.
Good, it should have been done after you saying 10% of the population being gay means 10% of the NFL is. A 6th grader knows that's not how that works.
You got a free education through this thread though so there ya go.
