Homophobia/Gay Players In Football

[Frutos]

Homosexuals banned from Croatian national team, says football federation president - Sports News - Croatian Times Online News - English Newspaper

In light of the comments made above by the President of the Croatian FA that only "normal" people play football and that no gay player would ever be allowed to play for Croatia while he's in power, how would you feel if a time came when an openly gay player played for either the Albion or England?

It really would not bother me.

The Croatian FA should really be ashamed.

We have had one haven't we. Really is it an issue? only for for backward morons i guess.

Looks a bit gay to me

One!? How many other hundreds have played football since who have never came out? Thousands over the years actually!

I meant one known gay player for Albion(although he was not 'out' at the time)

If he was not out, was he "Just in" by any chance?

Very droll

i wouldnt give a toss, and like to think most of our fans would embrace a gay player.

What people do in their own bedrooms is their own business. If someone pulls on the stripes and gives it 100% I will applaud them, Scott McLeish aside.

It's not an issue, only the knuckle draggers think otherwise.

Unbelievable how far behind some of these countries are in matters like this. Can you imagine if the equivalent person at the FA said something like this?

I'd love to think and I'm pretty sure Albion fans wouldn't give a toss if we had a gay player. After all, we're probably one of the only sets of supporters who get regular homophobic abuse from other fans, although it is normally pretty mild in my experience (Does your bf know you're here type stuff).

Pure ignorance by the Croatians.

Wouldnt bother me as long as he was picked for the right reason, ie not just so that we could have a gay player.

It's crazy that this sort of discrimination still goes on in the 21st century.

A gay man playing for England?! No way. We all know gay men have no self control and find every single other man attractive and wants to sleep with him. Can you imagine even at the begining when he shakes hands with the opponents he won't be able to stop him self jumping him and doing his gay thing right in front of everyone. There will be children in the crowd. Won't somebody, please think of the children!

And what if he scores? The other players will embrace or even kiss him, and it won't stop there. Being gay, he wouldn't be able to tell the difference between this expression of excitement and a kiss signifying the want of sex, and so he may end up raping a fellow player, claiming he gave him a come on with that hug/kiss.

No, no. I think this croatian guy has got it all right.




Or, y'know, I wouldn't really care.
