Does anyone even care. If a player is gay, it's really none of my business, why the need to come out? If it makes them feel better then again it's their choice but still none of my business.

Advocacy groups are hugely important to both confidence in coming out and highlighting problems that may not be noticed by those outside of the group. 'Removing the factor' isn't an issue because 'the factor' is their race or sexual orientation.
You may not understand it but that doesn't make it a bad idea

And it's comments and views like this that help contribute to a culture where people don't come out.
It seems like harmless little ribbing, but if you see this constantly, constant little digs that an opposition player is gay and insinuation there's something wrong in that, it gets tiring and unwelcoming.
I'm not calling you a homophobe or a bigot, just that little comments and actions become a lot bigger than first realised

It is a massive deal for a player to come out, it may not be for you, but it is for them. They effectively feel ready for the world to accept them as they are, it is your business to accept that and actively support what they are doing, not just shrug,

Soz, but I am in the shrug camp, (sic). It has nowt to de with me, and I really could not care less. And I do appreciate the irony of me taking time to post that I dont care.

indeed, I gave up caring years ago about where another man likes to put his winky (as long as it doesn't involve me or evil Tory scum + pigs heads).
I'd say that not seeing it as a big deal is a form of acceptance, as long as we don't slip into deriding a player for coming out publicly, as it is a big deal for them and would still be pretty ground breaking and important any players following them

Dont get me wrong, I would have sympathy for anyone struggling to come out and being worried by the reaction they might get, but in my experience, the expected reaction just hasnt happened.
When my cousin came out, like nearly 30 years ago, we all knew anyrate, and just were glad he had at last "told" us, and could put his angst away for ever. I would be the exact same with anyone.
