God, the AP is ridiculous. And this is the Liberal Media.
Poll Shows Mixed Views on Gays in Sports

NEW YORK - A majority of people believe there is nothing wrong with openly gay male athletes participating in sports, but nearly 24 percent think an openly gay athlete would hurt their team, according to an NBC/USA Network poll.



So 86% believe gays should be in sports--but only 76% believe that it would help their team. Oh, I see! That's clearly an even split. That clearly doesn't deserve the headline: "Poll: US in overwhelming support of gays in sports."

Oh, wait, there's more:
In another mixed result from the poll, 79 percent of respondents agreed Americans are more accepting of gays in sports today than they were 20 years ago

WTF? Christ. If it were a 95% liberal - 5% conservative poll, it would be "Mixed Results" or "Americans Divided." If it were a 51% conservative - 49% liberal poll, it would be "Americans in favor of" or "Overwhelming support for" or "GOP has mandate for."
