Nor should it.
When I was at Mizzou in the seventies, we had some Top 20 powerhouse teams under JoAnn Rutherford. They ranged from suburban kids to country kids, gay to straight. Atheist to Christian. Never did I ever see these things becoming issues on the team. I even played pickup basketball with some members and was fortunate to be able to travel with them at times. We hung out together, played cards, ate pizza. That team was pretty darned tight as a unit. That's the way it was and should be. Respect each other and pull for each other and work hard together. That's how you build winners.
