Why do people still think calling someone gay is an insult?

I wouldn't take sport insults seriously. Like, Muhammad Ali would insult his opponents, to knock his opponent's mind out of balance. Muhammad Ali wasn't a great aggressive fighter, like Mike Tyson, but, he's a great counter-puncher like Floyd Mayweather Jr. is. So, Ali would say **** that makes the other person angry and aggressive, so that Ali could fight the way he fights, best.

Basically, what I'm saying, sport insults are meant to be part of the game. Although, it can get extremely unreasonable, especially, when the insults involve innocent people, like, insulting an opponent's family.
