Why Do Footballers Not Come Out Of The Closet

[dfward]

why dont footballers admit they are gay or bi when they are current players.. John Fashanu is the only one so far... Robbie Rodgers did after he retired. I know of an England player that is bi [ dont ask who ] but there is NO chance of him admitting it

Stop fannying about and tell us who it is.

You've only got to look at the actions of the neanderthal's at the weekend to see just how welcome a gay footballer would be made to feel.

Any footballer making such a decision whilst still playing would suffer a living hell, nothing less.

I can never decide whether bisexuals are simply indecisive or just greedy!

[dfward]

NUNGATE.. probably both lol

Chilldoubt has it in one.

Have you ever been to a live match, and heard the crowds?
They would give him hell.

I don't know how the goalkeepers and managers put up with it, when they are stuck near to some foul mouthed louts for a long time.

Hopkirk - 'I don't know how the goalkeepers and managers put up with it'

Maybe they use the same methods of relaxation as referees and linesman do when they are subjected to foul mouth louts such as goalkeepers and managers. :)

If I were let into the ladies changing room I don't think I'd admit being straight, after all it has nothing to do with football, none of the ladies' business what my sexuality is.

because football's a mans game

[DaisyNonna]

Surely their choice?

Joe Luke, You can be heterosexual, bisexual or homosexual and still be a man.

[MadMen]

Same applies to rugby... although Gareth Thomas was man enough to 'come out'.

None of the England players are bent, it's there boyfriends who are!
