Well, I hope he was kind enough to also announce he's retirementl; it's not right that other players who don't look kindly to that type of livestye choice have to play with him, no pun intended
Homophobia is a legitmate illness-he should have kept that information about his sexual preference to himself. Just because he wanted to come out of the closet and still enjoy being a Rugby player is selfish-he wants his cake and be able to eat it too-I"ll never watch Rugby without thinking-FAGGOTS
And homophobia is not an illness, it is an irrational fear of, aversion to, or discrimination against homosexuality or homosexuals..............
According to the European Parliement, homophobia can be defined as an irrational fear of and aversion to homosexuality and to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people based on prejudice and similar to racism, xenophobia, anti-semitism and sexism................
This certainly sheds some light on what you suffer from.............
And I don't think the rugby world will be morning the loss of your support...............

I doubt that either homophobia or xenophobia for that matter would be regarded as a illness.....it's more an outlook based on ignorance or intolerance of difference.
How is he being selfish for wanting to be honest with himself and with others while continuing to play the sport he loves and gets paid to play?
Anita, some of your posts are excellent......unfortunately this is'nt one of them.

I heard about him.....a bloke who encourages his subordinates to report child sexual abuse to the Vatican, where it can be buried in the same cells where they used to torture those who disagreed with them, rather than report it to the civil authorities.
