If two of our players took this opportunity to come out, do you think all our fans would still just appreciate them as players?
By the law of averages we must have had lots of gay players in the past and no doubt some are regarded as legends - some may have not been able to play as well as they could due to the stress of not being the real selves.
Amazing that in the world of entertainment ( music, tv, film etc) that being gay is accepted, but if one or two of the promotion winning squad came out, do you think our supporters would be so understanding?
One of my mates from school came out last week. He was married to a school sweetheart and has a daughter. They knew - I think his wife always knew and they just had a special friendship, but he was shunned by some of his so called mates and colleagues.
He couldn't get a ticket today but no doubt there are plenty of gay fans in the crowd. Isn't it a sad reflection that players and fans can't be real?

Nobody cares.
Literally could not give two shits if all eleven are gay.
What a weird question.

Such a hilariously timed post. Like fair play, it's a serious subject that warrants discussion but right now???

We just won seven Dam nil and got promoted, what a bizarre post……In this day and age who cares what anyone does? As long as it is legal., however I’d always say keep relationships out of the workplace, that as a senior Manager as whenever I’ve seen it happen issues arise. |

Don’t care for the sexuality of our players. All that matters is they give their all when they put on the quarters and that they can live their life as they feel they want to and not have to put on a facade either way. If they feel they have to be something they’re not then that would be very very sad.

If they feel they have to be something they’re not then that would be very very sad. That is my point. Although after recent events with my mate, I am ashamed that other people in our circle don't feel that way and he has been alienated by a few. I hope that the current love of our players by the supporters would give them the strength and belief to be true to themselves. There must be lots of gay players within the 92 clubs, but sad that even in these more enlightened times, not one can actually come out. Amazing that it is still a love that dare not speak its name. One a few do, I expect a few older ex players will also feel comfortable. I would like to think the club and fans would support any player who made the breakthrough while at the club. |

Is that correct that not one has come out? That's a shame, however I am not certain we need to know who is gay and who is not, I like to keep my private life private to an extent and I don't expect to know anyone else's orientation unless I'm interested in a relationship with them. |
