Is it not just a simple way to register the fact you found something amusing? Not sure it's really having a pop.palarsehater said:

I’ve always wondered what the statistics are. Reason being, when I was doing my LPC at the college of Law, we were a tutor group of 8 men in the class, and 2 were gay. Always wondered whether 1 in 4 was about accuratese9addick said:

Jokes aside, we had two hens sitting on the same clutch of about 16 eggs, climbing over each other to get to the back and pushing the other off. Out of the 16, I think about 4 hatched and fledged through to adults, all along those two girls sharing parenting duties.1

No, you dirty bastard, they were sisters ffs, one couldn't pass eggs, so the other let her help do bits for her young. That was my point!Leroy Ambrose said:

It was just a story of how chickens don't cast aspersions on each other and hubeings do. Thank you for proving my theory though!

I don't know for certain, but I suspect there are less gay male footballers than the comparative percentage of gay people in the population. I suspect there are more gay female footballers. I come to this conclusion as the women's game doesn't seem to have the same issues the men's game has with this and is therefore more inviting.
Of course I can only guess/speculate, but it is a sad reflection of the men's game and us as fans, that there are currently no openly gay players in the top four leagues! It is important that something is done about it. Yes gay players need to come out and we need to shout down anybody within the game or on the terraces that can't accept this.0 -

back to the original question
No one honestly gives two shits really if a footballer comes out gay
so what
well done you’ve finally admitted to yourself what 99% of your friends and family (those who care) already knew or suspected and you can live freely and happily for the first time
But no need to make a huge song and dance about it forever1 -

the fact they play football is what relevance anyone that goes to football watches the thousands of teams playing every week would have to be as thick as pig shit if they didn’t think that someone in the team they support is more than likely to be gay
I don’t see why it’s a big deal any more I have a nephew who cane out we all already knew before he came out
it was no shock and why should it be being gay is as normal as being straight surely so why make a song and dance about it

Right, but no-one is saying that it is unusual that this guy is gay, it’s that he is a professional footballer and (apparently) about to come out as gay - that will make him completely unique in this country.nth london addick said:

Not disputing that I am asking does anyone actually give two shits that he is gay
yes its unique but if we want people to not fear coming out within football then the coverage should be minimal to normalize it and show it’s just a way of life, this person if they allow it and it will happen will make it like a circus and it will cause more to stay hidden1 -
But it isn’t normal to be openly gay and a professional footballer. That’s entirely the point, I agree that getting to a point where it’s normalised is the objective but someone has to go first and this guy (again, if this is true) is taking a brave step in being the first one.nth london addick said:se9addick said:

I doubt anyone other than a couple of nutters “give two shits that he’s gay” but that alone is not why this is a story.11 -

yes its unique but if we want people to not fear coming out within football then the coverage should be minimal to normalize it and show it’s just a way of life, this person if they allow it and it will happen will make it like a circus and it will cause more to stay hiddenI'd like to share a few thoughts on this.
I was openly bisexual from 14, in quite a supposedly liberal school (and later university). One of my best friends is also gay. To say that people in the 21st century UK don't have problems with it, or don't care about sexuality is so hilariously wrong.
Everyone I knew who was even suspected of being anything other than straight got abuse, both verbal and physical, and some of it to an extent that would make you feel sick. The clique where these attitudes, the idea that this was acceptable, was most prevalent? The football team and those who were big football fans. They were more than happy to practise their kicking on those they knew were gay because they knew that most people would turn their heads.
I saw the same in sixth form, where people thought words like fa**ot were legitimate. I see some of the same at university. And despite the sheer whataboutism in some of the earlier posts, the football community was a commonality in all 3 places. Just because some religious groups are known to have issues with homosexuality, it doesn't mean there isn't serious work to be done in football, from grassroots up to professional level.
To return briefly to my earlier point about the UK at large, how many of you would be afraid of your return journey home with a tattoo or face paint of your football team? Well that's the reality of some I knew coming home from Pride, who washed any facepaint off because they were afraid of being attacked. To give some statistics from 2017- 'one in five LGBT people have experienced a hate crime or incident because of their sexual orientation and/or gender identity in the last 12 months. Two in five trans people have experienced a hate crime or incident because of their gender identity in the last 12 months. Four in five anti-LGBT hate crimes and incidents go unreported, with younger LGBT people particularly reluctant to go to the police.'
More recently, the rate of LGBT hate crime per capita rose by 144% between 2013-14 and 2017-18. In the most recent year of data, police recorded 11,600 crimes, more than doubling from 4,600 during this period. And people ask why LGBT people stay hidden?
Whilst there'd still be some work to be done, having some 'out' professional footballers would certainly help reduce these attitudes, particularly amongst younger people, and any reduction is good news.2
