They don’t care about you being gay until you miss, then they start spewing slurs at you.

[@andrewallen2552]

There could be loads of gay players. Just took a while for someone to shout it to the newspapers.

[@bub-games]

It's a personal choice. If someone's wants too come out they will, if they are famous, they probably choose not too due too their fame. Zexuality doesn't define you. Society does accept it. It's people who keep saying society doesn't accept it that makes it seem that way. Change the rhetoric, promote the acceptance that does exist and it'll catch on.

No people are still bad, you can add them in the media on TV shows ect but that isn't the real world. The real world is nowhere near there yet. I have a challenge, go through your whole day without something homophobic happen

[@samuelwoods164]

I think a lot has changed since the 90s and players will be a lot more accepting of a gay team mate, the press wouldn't dare report negatively like Justin Fashanu and the public and fans will be accepting as long as he is a decent player.

some people like their privacy. I don't go to gay clubs and come out as heterosexual...

[@nathanreddy3199]

I think people are stubborn because of religious reasons as well.

[@samuelwoods164]

In the UK? Nah, especially not from white people... even in this video the biggest backlash was from someone I will assume is Muslim.... not being anti anything here, I'm mixed race and my grandfather is Asian but the biggest religious issue wouldn't be from white or Christian types, England is nothing like America with ultra conservative Christian types who have just managed to make abortions illegal

[@nathanreddy3199]

@@samuelwoods164 yeah but we are not just talking about the fans we are talking about the players alot of the players are not from the UK and are religious and wouldn't want to associate themselves with a gay teammate

[@samuelwoods164]

@@nathanreddy3199 yeah I agree, the players would likely be the biggest issue.
