Whatever. The guy is an idiot.

I don't know. I'm no TO fan, but he seems like he's struggling with this issue. I would suspect the TO, and most football players, have never had to deal with someone who was openly gay. So he almost certainly has no empirical data from which to work. Given the homophobia that is often fostered among atheletes, this sounds pretty damn enlightened.
Once you factor in that TO is not exactly William Safire in terms of linguistic precision, I can be charitable and interpret this as him saying "I would react negatively to being hit on by a man, but that aside I am more concerned with performance on the job than a person's private life."
