What’s the chances of a few of them being an elite footballer? 7% surely. Unless there is a link between sexuality and sporting prowess (either way) that hasn't yet been shown.

paulhanley Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Fair play to him. (with a thread about Blackpool on a Bolton forum you can bet their lot will soon have a "look what the homophobic murderers are saying" thread on Gloomfieldways.

Moderators Zico Posted May 16, 2022 Moderators Share Posted May 16, 2022 Years ago (1992) The Comic Strip did an episode about a footballer (played by Keith Allen) coming out I've probably not seen it in 30 years but it was very good back then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lad is the same lad he was yesterday and same he will be tomorrow. It matters because no other players have come out. Let's take @royal white 7% figure as accurate, so 1 in 14. If every club has 28 pros on their books, that is 2 per club. 92 clubs so 184 based on averages, for the last 20 plus years there have been 0. Young kid today struggling with their sexuality deep down knows he is gay but his heroes are all footballers and as 0 footballers are gay it makes him even more worried about his feelings, if Daniels at least gives him someone to look upto and realise his feelings are normal then it is a good thing and that is why it is news. Sad that it is news, but it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
