I mean, when they are examining players to play millions to (the ultimate job interview) and have doctors check every inch of their body (even finding narrowed spines), why can't they ask about sexual orientation? Isn't it also a medical necessity? Don't blood banks ask when you donate? Don't pre-surgery forms ask about sexual history?

I mean, if a team has to know every fact, it's relevant.

The problem is that it is against the law.
