Now- what would happen if any league tried to keep gay players out?
Aren't double standards wonderful?

I don't have a problem with it and if a hetero league were to be created and disallow gays, so be it.

Groups/clubs /leagues formed out of free association should be able to admit and/or deny whoever they see fit.

That's like saying "I'm sure the gay ballplayers are getting turned away from the straight leagues by the thousands".

I think this is counter-productive to the GLBT Equal Rights movement. Not a good move...

I know.
The way it works in our society at present, is those who are excluded go running to the government bully who then force their inclusion onto the majority.

It is all about "special" consideration under the law, not equal treatment.
