Wondered why there was no question about the media reaction?

Remember Greavsie making homophobic comments about Shirtlif (sp?) during Saint and Greavsie years back?

Also filled it out- interesting questions.

Of course everybody's sexuality should be irrelevant to anyone outside of his/her private life. Sad if football is really lagging so far behind in this.


Unfortunately, for a minority of people in football, it probably is.

It's a private issue and should remain that way.

A persons sexuality has absolutely nothing to do with anybody else.

What does it matter to anybody else.

This is the 21st Century.

What if they don't want it to be a private issue? What if they wanted to be able to eat in a restaurant, go to the pub or go on holiday with their partner like any other couple?

Is the correct answer, a person's sexuality is their choice.

Agree totally. But, playing devil's advocate, what if they felt that making it public knowledge would go someway towards tackling the problem of homophobia in football?

There's the proof right there, Mazrim: Ronaldo is a cheating, preening, arrogant greedy puffed-up little shit REGARDLESS OF HIS SEXUALITY!!!

I would be delighted if a gay footballer were to do that.  I  cannot understand peoples homophobia.  I really can't.

A players sexuality doesn't affect the way he plays football and the way a player plays is the most important thing.

I may well regret posting this, dependent upon subsequent posts. It was recently Idaho Day -

Sadly, for some people it's the kind of thing that can bring out 'shirt lifter' type comments and accusations of political correctness.
