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? 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure the hackneyed "they're effeminate puffters and don't like physical stuff" is or ever has been valid. As I asked RW, if there are genuine reasons- biological/social etc that have been shown, I'd be genuinely interested. It might then help explain the numbers (or lack of). It's a similar thing within the armed forces- not long ago it was illegal- bit I'd be surprised if levels here were significantly lower than the population in general.

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. 1. Without any reasons to the contrary, the same proportion. 2. The two aren't comparable. As already detailed, doesn't matter what proportion of ww members are Asian, white or black etc. If the proportion of gay folk in the groups is similar (again nothing to say that wouldn't be the case) then the number of members that are gay would reflect that of society. It really is simple mathematics. Throw in some proven facts to skew to maths one way or another then fine. Until that's done, then simply stating that demographics can't be applied is meaningless as it has no foundation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So using your simple mathematics you would have to say women footballers come under the same figures. I can 100% assure you they don’t . So that 1 example proves that the X amount of the population is gay so the same percent of footballers are gay is totally false. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, including the wimmin would increase the proportions hugely. The wimminz teams are 30-40% munchers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
