When I was in high school, we found out we had a gay guy on our team. None of us suspected it though and were all shocked. LUCKILY, we found out AFTER he transferred to the school down the road and got an apartment with his "friend" who went by the name of "Bubba". I doubt we would've won the District Championship with that kind of distraction and uneasyness in the locker room.
Coincidentally, his nickname throughout H.S. was "Jay-Bird". We only had to change one letter afterwards.
(take a joke, please)
