I once read a theory where the big bang was down to ginger pubes and ginger winnets coming together and causing some friction

You can't really take the countries  demographics and apply it to football though.

7.5% of Brits are Asian. Nowhere near 7.5% of footballers are Asian. 

There's a cultural reason that Asian lads don't take up football as a profession. There's a good chance homosexuals have an aversion to taking up football as a career too. 

Assuming the level of homo-sexuality is broadly the same across races/colours etc, then racial make up would make no difference to the number in football.

Still intrigued as to why the levels in elite sportsmen wouldn't reflect that of society at large.

Is there a link between batting for the same side and not being able to run very fast?

It is not cos they’re shit? Rather than cultural.

The figures maybe a true representation across professional football, then again the figures maybe way off, (maybe more maybe less) the original comment that there must be a fair few elite gay footballers  (I’m assuming by elite we are talking prem) has nothing to back it up.

Of course it has.

They are folk from the population as a whole. Simple really. 

There is nothing to back up the suggestion that the proportion within sportsmen would be different. Nor within the banking community, bus drivers or whatever profession. 

Unless there are specific, perhaps biological reasons which I've not heard of.

Ok, using all the figures we have roughly how many gays do you think are playing elite football in England? 
 

Like kent said you can’t really take a countries demographics and apply it to football. With some of the examples being thrown about it’s like saying 7.5% of Britain is Asian therefore 7.5% of WW posters are Asian. We all know that ain’t true. 

Whether there are 10 or 1,000 it's a shame they (apart from this lad) all feel they have to keep it a secret.

It is.

However if the lad keeps banging them in, it will silence the bigots.

It’s a shame that after all the positive news this has produced you come across reports like this.

Hes a fuckin dick that lad. ‘Religious reasons.’ No point in forcing him that kind of defeats the object it’s his hypocrisy I can’t stand. 

Didn’t have a problem wearing alcohol sponsors or gambling sponsors when he was at Everton.

My point is - maybe homosexual men are disuaded from pursuing a career in football. Which is why there's less of them than you would imagine - if you were just extrapolating from the population at large?
