How does Lineker know the dirty dog

His boyfriend told him

 

[Karbutar]

lol lol lol does it work like that? Like can you actually show someone a piece of propaganda that changes their sexual biology?

Yep. Saw a news segment about a pride parade, and my clothes instantly transformed to a sundress. It's really effective.

Another attempt by Lineker to stay relevant. If he does know what he states, how dare he put undue pressure on them.

 

[Yarrgh]

???!?!? Is there a transfer window for gays??

Will they take Rondon off us?

 

[YoboCopter]

Its pretty well known that one of them plays for us

In local circles its as good as fact

Maybe if the virtue crusaders in the media stop blood hounding for a story of a PL footballer coming out, one would, without the associated “hype”, “role modelling” and attention it’s going to draw.

Shouldn’t actually be a story, this day and age, people should live any lifestyle they want without being a “story”, that in itself creates a road block in my opinion.

I get where Lineker is coming from crusading here, but he’s pushing multiple agendas.

Whatevs!

What pressure? Is being homosexual really a thing in this day and age?

it isn't in most workplaces

it isn't in most workplaces

Won’t lie, never met anybody who was openly gay in my industry, construction.

It’s all very well saying it shouldn’t be an issue in this day and age, but only days ago there was a furore over Casillas coming out on Twitter. Any gay footballer sees the dog’s abuse they got, and THEN sees it being dismissed as a joke and they’ll not bother coming out in a million years.

Tease, well at least give us a clue

 

[Rob17896]

Why are some people obsessed with others sexuality ?

Spot on! What business is it of anyone else?

This is totally fake news from Gary Lineker. If there were any homosexual players in the PL, they wouldn't even come to out to their teammates, let alone the public and sharing this with a BBC pundit.
