Just for fun, let's say 1% of the population are gay. Do you not understand that it would therefore be likely that 1% of footballers are gay? Would you say it’s likely 7% of your mates are gay?

No, as I have no idea where the 7% figure came from. You could have made it up for all I know. I notice you didn't answer either of my extremely simple questions, but that would be a first for you, so it's hardly surprising.

Ani Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 5 hours ago, royal white said: You’re using figures that represent a country. Those figures become massively reduced when applied to elite footballers. Hence why it’s ridiculous to think on average each club would have 2 gays. Surely you get this or have you gone straight through from the weekend? Why do they become reduced when applied to elite sportsmen ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because when you are using data collected using 10s of millions of people it’s unlikely to be reflected in a few hundred. Take fromages anology using ginger hair. 6% of the population unfortunately have ginger hair (sorry spider) So apparently 6% of elite footballers should have ginger hair. Do the math and tell me how many gingers should be playing in the prem (use Ani’s working on 28 players per club). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kent_white Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
