While I understand the significance and what it means to him and others, can't help but think that it's a shame that's something so personal should be newsworthy.
Saying that fair dues to him |

Good on him. Looking at the horrendous comments on twitter I hope those that attend games next season really support him as I suspect he is sadly going to be in for a hard time from time to time. I hope the authorities are paying attention to the crowds at these games and hand out appropriate punishment.
He has done a good thing and he should be proud of himself. |

"Someone just pointed out that Justin Fashanu was the first. I stand corrected.
However the first professional in over 30 years and the only openly gay man in British pro football "
Hope we have moved on and things work out better for him than they did for Justin |

When the World Cup is soon to be played in a country where homosexuality is illegal (and punishable by death for Muslims) with hardly a word of condemnation by players or media...I'd say it's a long path ahead. A sporting boycott was key in defeating Apartheid yet football seems happy to sportswash the homophobic Gulf States. |

The mockery has been instant, seen it all over social media, you can bet many of them are football fans. Good on the lad, this is long over due. I am not one for flag waving but in this situation I think it is needed. |

There isn't the political will these days. Too much money to be made. |

"Jake Daniels has become the first top flight male professional footballer to come out as gay.
Is this a landmark moment in the sport? "
Just saw this…… Such a brave lad… good on him  |

I have wanted to write this all day.
I am a straight male. However Jake Daniels coming out should be a non story. Why it shouldn’t matter if we like male / female / both of none. I know why it is a story and it is one that should be told and encourage other players who are gay to maybe coMe out so that over time it becomes a non story.
Now let me be clear this is in the mens game. The womens game I would say is a lot more open about sexuality. I have a number of my footy friends are gay / lesbian both male and female.

There's a lot of negative stuff around sexuality and sexual relationships etc in the women's game. The issues might not be identical to the men's game, but it's not all roses either. |
