Gay footballers
Sepp Blatter has been condemed for comments he made regarding the attendance of gay fans
at the Qatar world cup. They may single out Blatter but he is only reenforcing the bigotory
that runs from top to bottom of professional football against gays. The only professional
footballer that ever came out officaly Justin Fashnau ended up committing suicide because of
the absolute vile hatred and homophobia he encountered
It just proves how much more progressive the GAA and rugby are regards this when Donal og
Cusack and Gareth Thomas came out officaly in their respective sports in the main the officals
team mates and fans were very supportive.
Imagine what a footballer that would come out would have to endure from the terraces, to
be honest i dont think he could play,so while they may condemn Blatter its from the
grassroots the change must come. It even shows how they disregard the issue to award
the World Cup to them in the first place. Before people put all the blame on the suits the
silence from within football on the issue has been deafening
