Gay footballers about to come out

There was a similar story last year in one of the papers saying a prem star was going to come out, nothing happened there
 
Surely the worst way to overcome homophobia in football fans is to form a group for gay fans?

No mate - it's not.

Because next thing is they'll demand a gay cheerleader group at h/t, and no doubt they'd shriek 'bigotry' if they didn't get approval.

Personally I'm not bothered what they are, but I neither want or need reminding that there are gay people almost every waking minute, and in every walk of life or category of media - I already know that. So what?

What next? The taxpaying football fans group? Save the whale group? Stamp collectors that were born in Tirana but moved as a baby group?

And what's so 'brave' about being homosexual? The bigotry they face? Utter bollox. They're portrayed as positive (As Goat Jr's headline shows) in every light.

There's people on the dole whose only crime is they can't find work, and they face mass-media bigotry on a far greater scale than the gays.

Nobody calls them 'brave' ffs.

Whole thing's a bleedin' circus imo.

Rant over.

Surely the worst way to overcome homophobia in football fans is to form a group for gay fans? Do they have a 'Black Spurs Fans' group? You overcome this nonsense by removing the factor, not by highlighting it.

I do take your point and tend to agree with it.

It is annoying that the club let them have a rainbow LGBGT flag up in a prominent position but a Star of David or flag with Yid on it is not allowed.

If we did start a Black Spurs Group I would join as the token.

Hmmm, I think the flag thing is a rather different matter.

Surely if there's a problem with homophobia there's nothing wrong with highlighting it and bringing it to people's attention?

Apart from the footballers, we have to eat less bacon(n)
Got to be the Tabloids stoking the fans up to think about who it can be so either the can print the news of a rumour, or the player comes under so much pressure that he has to out himself (or be blackmailed into in depth interviews in return for keeping it quiet)

Personally I'll wait and see which player becomes the Mirror's new media daring in the next few weeks.
