i play soccer and now all of a sudden these girls call me a lesbian just because i play soccer and have no boyfriend. Why is it that female soccer players are seen as lesbian?

I think they call that "STEREOTYPING" just dont pay any attention. Anyways in My personal opinion I think that most Soccer Chicks are "HOT"......sorry I just say another sterotype LOL.

Female athletes in general are seen as lesbian because of stereotyping. There is a good book out about this called "Strong Women, Deep Closets." It talks about how this stereotype affects all women whether they are lesbian or straight and talks about how this stereotype needs to be challenged for the mental health of straight women and lesbian women.

They think that way because they are idiots. My gf's sister (who is staright) got the same garbage when she was younger for playing softball and basketball and all that but over time it just pretty much stopped. She still plays pick up games with the guys at the park and gym and mixed league softball and nobody questions her at all even when she's single. I know a lot of people male and female (Myself included) that think an athletic woman is hot. Just blow it off and don't let it get to you. Do your thing and be happy and forget the morons around you.

I thought it was the softball players :) Don't worry about it, any sport involving women will at one point or another be the "lesbian" sport. Seriously, I don't know why but it happens. People have nothing better to do then make up strange rumors.

Unfortunately quite often women who are involved in sports and have no male partner are assumed to be lesbian or bi. It really is too bad that we women treat each other that way.
