BLOOMINGTON - A report carried out by the University of Indiana has found that nearly 83% of people living in the Hoosier state support the idea of same-sex sports teams.
According to the findings, which comprise six months of archival sports footage and interviews with sports enthusiasts, a diverse portion of Hoosiers - including hundreds of thousands of conservative Christians - are completely fine with the idea of 11 muscular men all charging their sweat-filled bodies into each other.
"Not only are most Hoosiers comfortable with watching 3 guys grapple over a football, but any physical contact between such men is usually met with boisterous cheering from people watching at home," said IU researcher, Don Kazan.
According to the figures, the favored sport among Hoosiers is football - a game that involves as many as 45 male athletes running around in tight pants, grabbing the legs, arms and chests of their equally male opponents.
"This is not just a bizarre phenomenon that is being seen in Indiana; people everywhere - from Maine to Alabama - have expressed tolerance of graphic images depicting sports stars hugging each other after a passionate, hard-earned victory."
Meanwhile, the report also indicated that 68% of all parents across Indiana are "okay" with watching their own kids grappling with members of the same sex in a knock-down-drag-out game of soccer.
