Gay footballers about to come out

[neil999]

I'd argue that creating a gay fan club just gives the bigots a handy target. You make it go away by normalising it, not segregating it.

Would you make a Ginger-haired Everton Fan Group? Course not.

its not segregating its a support group

they arent comparable things

Hang on, where has this "story" come from?

WHAT NEXT, A SUPPORT GROUP FOR PEOPLE WHO IDENTIFY AS PILLOWS??? WHEN'S IT GOING TO STOP!!!???

who care as long as they can play football, wouldn't bother me if we had a team full of gays as long as we won something, law of averages says we have had gay players over the years at the club, and i would sooner have every one of them over Dia Davies

Completely agree with your point of view mate. It's creating a bigger problem by dividing people. I'm sure the gay people I know would be horrified by the idea of joining a separate fan group and not the 'normal' one. It's creating a difference that doesn't exist.

Hitzlsperger. He liked die mannschaft

But if the long term goal is equality and inclusivity, then it's strange to have exclusive groups.
I think we live in one of the most tolerant countries in the world tbh.

It will have to be strong players, for example if it was Barkley, he wouldn't be strong enough mentally on the pitch.

It won't be Barkley the little slag

more than likely loads over the years, might even be one or two in the squad now, good luck to them as well if the want to come out or not its there choice, so long as it doesn't affect there game, i really am not botherd

Gay footballers nudge their team mates while they're shooting, they insist on being captain and they muck about. Do we really want that in our game?

 

[Walken]

we are a long way from brian clough chasing gay players out of his club, or robbie fowlers homophobic abuse because someone reads the broadsheet papers, hopefully players will feel the game and it's fan base has moved forward enough to be open about their sexuality if they wish to

 

[Prevenger17]

What if they start playing games of gay towel in the dressing room? It would ruin morale.

Not one footballer has ever come out as hetro.

Must admit when I first joined this site I had my suspicions that some of the posters on here were straight.

Quickly realised how wrong I was.
