But such a scenario isn't one where I'd be happy to be tarred with that brush, Villa fan or not. In fact, I'd rather not bother with Villa at all if it meant being a c*** on an industrial scale like that with 'fellow' fans.

We've all done it!
Perhaps there just genuinely aren't and haven't been that many gay footballers? I've worked with hundreds of people over the years, and the number of openly gay people I've known in that time you could count on the fingers of one hand.

Racism is abhorrent but it would pale into insignificance compared to the stick the first outed footballer would endure from the world of football. The Mathew Upson chants from Villa fans is a stain on the club. One of the most embarrassing things our fans have ever done. The saddest part of it is that the ignorant morons didn't even think it it was offensive.

As childish and un-warranted as it was, i would'nt go that far. I'd forgotten all about it until it was brought up on this thread.
