Ffs I came in here thinking this post was going to be good and the fella goes and removed the post 
If it was referring to why there isn’t any gay footballers that are out and proud it’s because football fans are still in the dark ages and the abuse they would receive would be disgusting |

Football players will get abuse for anything tho...hair ..girlfriends ..
It's when it crosses the line that's the problem.
Think most footballers have had abuse..well maybe too strong a word but chants.some see it as a sign there getting to the opposition which shows there a good player lol. |

He killed himself because he was accused of sexual conduct with a minor in America and fled to England. Wikipedia |

Justin Fashanu sadly had many demons. It certainly wasn't through fan abuse he took his own life.
I remember watching him at my club during his brief and time and he took far more abuse for his limited ability than he did his sexuality. |

I’m not sure mate , but am sure it said in the documentary that it was because of the abuse he was receiving from players and fans |

I think it's all about sponsorship money now days but just imagine if a top player like Ronaldo or someone coming out...think it would be more better than harmful for his persona? |

Why oldie do you wish that.
Who really cares these days about whether a person is gay or lesbian or other. Theres been plenty history of people coming out and the non discrimination culture that gets rammed down our throats at every turn nowadays. Football dosnt need an ambassador for gay rights . If your gay and tell , fine if your gay and dont tell thats fine too but nowadays please if your gay dont come out with the poor me attitude that people will judge you , whether its football fans or any other sport.
I aint prejudice against anyones sexuality or preferences but i am sick of hearing about us people that aint gay being unnaccepting and will give someone pelters for there sexual preference.
You say if there struggling to come out a high profile player doing the same will help them, maybe there just struggling because there not sure about being gay or whatever in the first place.
Again before i get pelters, im not judging anyone im just saying its acceptable these days by the majority of people so stop using it as excuses for not getting on and living your life. Thats your issues not societys problem .

Because it would show young boys you don't have to act straight to be accepted in life.
It's not a poor me attitude and sorry but that's a shit thing to say.
There are still prejudice in the workplace about being gay.
If they weren't footballers would have came out...are you seriously trying to tell me of all the top flight players not 1 is gay? Seriously? |

I don't think it's a football thing it a society thing.
We still have racists, homafobic people and just genaral uneducated arse holes who don't like a thing that is different to what they preceve as normal.

Not at all. but if they dont want 5o come out thats the player themselves choice not for any other reason. People have more rights in the workplace than ever before, no excuse other than they want to keep there personal life to themselves. Not having a dig at you goodie i just dont think we need any more ambassadors for this that or the next thing nowadays , its old news. But people still use certain things for there own advancement. Oh you dont have a female director in your company thats discrimination, nothing to do with the fact all females in the company are thick as mince.
Of you dont have a male receptionist, thats discrimination, nothing to do with the guys being neds from the suburbs of glasgow and cant string 3 words together.
The PC brigade has won no need for more ambassadors. |

This is one of your daftest pieces of work yet. I got completely lost reading it as I don't even know where it's going.
An ambassador for gay rights, a current marquee player, is exactly what football needs to drag elements of the game into this century. In a sport where even at the highest level in the biggest games players are still being subjected to racist abuse from fellow professionals and fans. Football and its culture is still in the dark ages.
Of course no one should be made feel they have to out themselves and be the martyr but wouldn't it be great if some of the games biggest names who were gay felt strongly and boldly enough to make it known. Perhaps it'd make it less acceptable for those in lower leagues and amateur leagues to be subjected to Neanderthal type abuse. |

My brother came out as guy about 10 years ago and I was the last person he told as he was worried how I would react and didn't want to disappoint me.
I have never been so ashamed if myself in my life that my own brother would think that of me.
Now I go once a month to his drag show and slag him off when I get chatted up more than him |

Devil your sounding ancient here.
Maybe because you don't have to hide it or work in an environment that is homophobic that you just don't get it.

Ive seen discrimination get harshly dealt with for over 20 years in the workplace , its more socially unacceptable than ever before and im all for it getting harshly dealt with , but i think its changing now , people are now starting a culture of making it pay. Telling companys if i dont get this or that im going to claim discrimination for x y or z.
Your footballers are not coming out for financial reasons not because of the fear of abuse. All about the money nowadays. |

I agree about the financial reason and guess what?
If that is indeed the reason then it's an even bigger problem in society than we'd like to think and not the 'minority' of fans or the 'minority' in society that you've alluded to.
That suggests that It's a global problem at commercial and corporate level with the biggest sponsors in the game!
Penny dropped yet?

So the majority of the planet is at a corporate or commercial level and in a position to predjudice a professional football player. Really ?

I know a few young footballers who are gay but refuse to come out because it’s not
The done thing in the footballing world and clubs are prejudice. My own niece was hiding in the closet because she didn’t want to be judged as being a typical female footballer she was doing very well had a successful pro career and then only once she had injury and could no longer play her and her “boyfriend” split up and she came out with her girlfriend her “boyfriend” managed to find himself a “girlfriend” quite quickly but not before people started asking questions about him and he lost a sponsorship deal which has even been openly mentioned as being purely on the hearsay surrounding their relationship, it’s actually quite sad in this day and age 
And these are pretty well known premiership teams they play/played for |

"I actually thought Cristiano Ronaldo was gay.
He has kids and a family....just like quite a few gay guys....Crackin footballer though."
He has kids yes with surrogate mothers where he donated his sperm I’m lead to believe
I agree with the talented player though |
