im not sure what the statistics are for homosexuality, but whatever they are, statistically there must be a significant number of gay prem players...

that said i never actually believed the stats... think it was something like 1 in 20 people is gay which in my opinion it isn't anything like as common as that.

If you're talking fully gay it may be that low but if you're talking talking bi/curious I'd wager it's a hell of a lot higher than that, especially with men.

Agreed.

What surprises me more is that you never really hear many stories at all where players have been caught having a gay romp or anything like that.

Perhaps they have been but get embargoed.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
they would still surely get leaked... same way straight videos get leaked like that Allison 3some video.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Eh ?

Wasn’t that an Allison lookalike?

Also I saw a photo of Ox in bed with some guy. It didn’t look photoshopped but I guess it must have been as nothing further has come from it.

I hope gay players are able to come out in due course but it has to be up to them. Incidentally, we had two gay players in our Sunday league eleven and no one had any issues with that.

Do they still share showers?

There's probably a gay member of the forum... would you trust people on this forum to respect that person?

Unlikely, from what I have seen.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

There's definitely a few homophobes on this forum, I've had a few run ins with them in the past. One is quite a notable member is well. Doubt they would come near an article like this.

It's a shame

One of them was the goalkeeper and he maintained this hard man, bravado image.

In fact if we were playing shiiite he’d often yell homophobic slurs at us

Never understood the fascination with wanting a player coming out.

No one's business really

Anyone care to say whom they think is gay and playing in the PL?

It's also a true indicator of where society is at, when people behave in a certain way without fear of retribution i.e. on an anonymous forum.

True, but that’s not the point of the article

The ideal would be to get to a point where homosexuality was entrenched enough in society’s acceptance that a footballer wouldn’t need to go through some sort of public coming out process. You are straight, you are gay, it’s irrelevant enough that it wouldn’t even be raised as an issue. Football fans represent a fair cross section of society these days and you will see with things like racism and hooliganism it is a minority that that cause the issues and most fans are inclusive people.

However it doesn’t really matter what the fans think, the player himself has to feel he has the support network within his club and the football infrastructure and, having seen some of the FAs blunders on race relations I doubt any gay player would have much faith in their situation being handled well - and like it or not there would be a lot of attention aimed at those who are the first. If I were a gay player I don’t think I’d want my career to remembered more for my personal trailblazing than my football, and I don’t think any gay player should feel pressured into thinking he is obligated to put himself and his family in a vulnerable position by exposing something as deeply personal at this.

If a person wishes to do it then fantastic and more power to them, but I’m not sure I agree with this call to arms and ‘c’mon gay footballers let’s be having you’ approach from people that probably don’t understand the complexities of what’s involved for that individual.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

This is all spot on and I agree entirely.

Surprised me then it came from a poster who I’ve seen call people ‘poofs’ on this board to put them down. You truly are a conundrum ace.

I suppose one way to look at it is this - I expect there are members of JA606 who are gay. What sort of reception would they get if they came out on here? Probably some acceptance and some childish abuse. Coming out as a footballer would be similar, but on a massively larger scale.

Maybe two gay lovers playing for the same team celebrated a goal came out by kissing each other passionately.

Lad in my school football team came out as gay in 1996, dropped and never spoke of again. Can't imagine the laws that would break now.

If they do that after scoring the goal that won us the PL I wouldn't really care what they did on the pitch!

To be honest the only thing I care about when it comes to footballers playing for my team is that they are good at football. None of my business what they do outside the game (within the law of course).

How do you explain Emmerdale then when almost every other person is gay
