On softball teams with a few lesbians, is it an issue ever, meaning do teams have a lesbian-clique and a non-lesbian-clique?

Stereotyping lives on at CG - and I thought this was the last bastion of enlightened thinking! Seriously, I cannot speak about this topic in regards to the WNBA. My college softball experiences did not include even the hint of any outwardly lesbian behaviors - either on our teams or our opponents. There is a big difference between womens and mens sports teams. For the most part, members of womens teams truly like each other as teammates. We compete hard but refrain from the immature taunting of our opponents' family, religous and ethnic backgrounds (see mens' sports).
Certainly there were no cliques of which you refer.. I would think that you of all people would recognize an overblown fantasy perpetuated by uneducated male sports fans.
