    Maybe one day, but when they do, will they have seperate bath rooms/showers?

    Well, if the ignorance and homophobia shown by quite a few posters on this thread are anything to go by, any gay football players (and there are a few - shock horror!!) whould be well advised to stay in the closet.

    Rugby is actually a considerably less homophobic sport than football. The biggest problem is the fans - many are pure scummers who are total thick ignorant homophobic bigots and who would not accept, let alone tolerate, an openly gay player.

    Yes, it will eventually be possible to be an openly gay professional soccer player, but not for perhaps another generation. The way Justin Fashanu was treated and how his life was destroyed after he came out was totally disgusting. :mad:

    Of course there are gay footballers, it would be statistically almost impossible for there not to be a few in any league. 20 teams, each team with say 20 or 25 players (first eleven, reserves, etc.) so that's 400 guys, some of them are bound to be gay.

    The problem is football is a very homophobic culture afaik. The abuse they would get from the fans would be a nightmare, other players on their own teams wouldn't be happy about getting changed or showering with them, the media attention would be horrible too. The Fashanu case is the most obvious example.

    That Sky show Dream Team did a story-line about a player being gay in the team it's about. All the kind of stuff I mentioned above happened. I don't know much about football so I asked my brother if it would really be that big a deal if a footballer was gay. He looked at me like I was asking what colour the sky is and said "what are you, fukking stupid? It would be worse than that". Pretty sad

    I think you are taking the comments of the ppl in this thread serious.

    That would be a mistake

    First post or not, JOS does have a girlfriend. And hiding behind a pc screen and speculating about someone's sexuality on a public forum is pretty shitty...

    to be honest, i think that 99% of ppl dont care what the sexuality of a sports person- or any person for that matter is.

    I certainly dont care. Id have bo problems playing football rugby or any sport with a gay person. I have 2 friends that are gay. They are not my "gay friends" they are just "friends".. as is the same with footballers, they're not "gay footballers" they are just footballers.

    99% of people may not care, but it's the other 1% who are in the terraces at football matches. Anything about anyone will be picked on.

    I direct you to the wisdom of snyper. I think you need to lighten up.

    The whole point is that there are no openly gay footballers and my question was will it ever be ok for them to come out and be such.

    Eh of course there are openly gay footballers and it's not that big a deal. Just because they don't choose to share it with you doesn't mean they don't exist.

    Probably not no. Football is commonly associated with (dons man voice) blokey blokes. And most of them will never accept homosexuality. Linkage, interesting snippet.

    That first link, is that meant to be Sol Campbell in the photo beside the, err, Sol Campbell piece? :confused:

    Statistically one in six men are gay - so nearly four gays play at every match

    I would have thought six men in one would be gayer
