British gay fotballers

[flatline84]

Saw this a few days ago on BBC3. Documentary about gay players in the English game, and why none have come out in 15 years etc etc.

Seems interesting. Why do people think it is we don't have any openly gay players?

Imo, there will need to be a good amount of top/respected players coming out. Its sad that people can't come out who are in sports in general.

Furthermore,if Messi, Van Persie, Modric, Xavi etc came out as gay, that'd be well more accepted as apposed to if Higginbottom came out as gay. (Random names, you get the point).

thought it was common knowledge

So what if there was/is. Couldn't care less. I'm not homophobic, I'm not afraid of my house.
