Yeah Anton seems nice:).

Trust Joey to get involved:D, credit to him for speaking out about his uncle and share his thoughts...

they'd get too much crap, I don't think it will happen for a while

I suppose that's true but if one of them came out and soldiered through all the ****e they'd get, maybe it'd inspire others..

Also, are there any openly lesbian players?

I really liked that lady. :love:

Small progress has been made but like Amal said there would only be big progress if one player was brave enough to come out..

probably all of them

me too, she was really sweet

I think it was a bit sad too, I think she felt guilty that she never got to know her uncle. What she said was true, if he even had that little bit of support it could have made that difference

she can't help that though, that's why I feel bad for her

A pretty poor choice of term. It gives the impression you think the majority of football fans are scumbags. 'Generally' meaning ... well ... 'in general'.

No. No no ****ing no.

Can we please stop with the edgy, "I'm a teen who doesn't like football~!" assumption that most people who enjoy the game are scumbags and homophobes?

It's really, really annoying. Talk about the vocal sections of the crowd on the terraces who are like this all you want but stop using terms like 'most' and 'generally' to hit home some unspoken but obvious high horse view that football is some retarded thing generally supported by working class chip bags who couldn't tie their shoe laces together.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I felt really sorry for her too. :sad:

Well considering I havent actually been to every single football in the history of the game I have to rely on generalisations :laugh: lol

I genuinely think most football fans and players are more tolerant than given credit for, like none of the Millwall players thought twice before saying they'd accept a gay team mate and you could see how well that Swedish guy was accepted. But then a few hundred people chant something homophobic and it gives the majority a bad name, and it gives football a bad name.

I said this earlier as well but I don't think this is restricted to football, Steven Davies only recently became the first openly gay England cricketer, and that's hardly a sport associated with manliness, if anything it's the opposite. But football's a lot bigger and rivalries aren't as heated in cricket, cricket fans don't give each other stick but in football chanting homophobic stuff is sometimes an attempt to try and get one over on the other team. I think we will see an openly gay footballer in the next few years, and he'd likely receive overwhelming support from most people, hopefully that'd be enough to outweigh any abuse

I'm not trying to be edgy though. I've never really gotten that much of a thrill out of watching the sport. I don't really like it all that much to be honest.

And I say 'most' because most of the football fans I've met are quite homophobic or speak in quite a derogatory manner when the subject if homosexuality is roused. Maybe most football fans aren't like that, but the majority of ones that I've met are.

Oh right fair enough :laugh:

I can't speak for european soccer, but After watching the world cup last year i certainly got thr impression that we had plenty of gays on TEAm USA.

Nice to see my post got a few Chomps, It's a pleasure.

Is this worth watching guys?

Might catch it online before bed.

Yeah it was decent, had some interesting stuff in it

So, rebuttal for me, but not for :

Double standards for some posters ?

i was joking, seeing as I like girls myself

It was a great watch, I watched the late-viewing, I ended up crying for half of the show, what a mess :sad:

It aint going to happen anytime soon and i dont think most fans could give a flying f if it does not.

It's not double standards at all. :joker: Neither Caitlin or myself replied to that question you asked so how you can bring us into your whole double standards argument makes no sense seeing as we weren't the ones that answered you. :crazy:

Also, I asked if there were any lesbian players in female football, Omah. You implied that most female tennis players were lesbian or bi.

Those are two completely different questions. .__.
