Brave lad.

But does it really matter?

I couldn't care less .

Should sexuality really matter .
It matters immensely. There’s still a huge stigma around homosexuality in sport. Kudos to you for being in support of him but unfortunately there’ll be a lot who have some pretty vile things to say on the matter.

Coming out publicly like this could literally save lives of those in the game (and some outside of it) too scared to come out previously.

All this from a 17yo boy. Incredible.
 
Why, again this has no bearing on our game sunday, Arsenal will go for the win v us no matter what the situation is,
it has a huge bearing on our game on sunday

if arsenal have 4th spot secured by then they will inevitably take their foot off the gas rather than go for the kill against us

same can be said if we beat palace on thursday then our players will be on holiday mode on sunday with nothing to play for

Of course this event matters. In fact, it's historic. The point he made was that the fact he's gay or whatever shouldn't matter at all. This should be normal!

I disagree and dont think they will take their foot of the gas, as they will go for the win as a normal team should/would do for me, like hopefully we do ?

They can't secure 4th spot by then though.

Spud mate, a win tonight doesnt secure 4th for Arsenal.

It should be, but depressingly it isn’t. Far from it. In much the same way that race shouldn’t matter, but it very clearly does.

Events like this start the conversation. Brushing it under the carpet by declaring “it shouldn’t matter” helps nobody, however well intentioned the comment.
