1. Players are naked for much more time than in the shower. No one carries their clothing to and from the shower. I had many college teammates who didn't bother to use a towel to cover while walking to their locker to get dressed all the time.
2. I bet no one cares on the team, media and general public care way more than that locker room.
Yeah, but that's not always how teammates react, though: a few years ago, when a soccer player came out of the closet, his teammates refused to continue showering naked with him:
I doubt the other players could care less. More than likely they probably always knew and just decided to keep quiet about it because it wasn't their business to discuss.
I don't see the problem, unless some straight guys resent that the gay part of them find him attractive in the nude while in the locker room. If so, they will just have to live with who they are and how they were born. Surely a lot of people aren't born 100% STRAIGHT.
Yup. A guy could declare he's a gay woman and shower with women.
No, that is not how it works unless the male has agreed to take testosterone suppression drugs. That is the last thing a lot of them would be willing to do.

I started my day not caring what or who 'random NFL guy' does in his bedroom. I am ending my day still not caring what or who 'random NFL guy' does in his bedroom.
Football is a short career, so the players are all young. If you haven't noticed, young people do not have the same hangups that older folks do about this sort of thing. They really could not care less.
Right-wing radio and social media folks are the only ones who would still have any kind of problem with this. Just a bunch of older folks pining for their youthful days when people had to keep these things quiet.
