[Football] Research on Sexuality in Football

[theacademic]

Dear all,

I am involved in some university research that is looking at sexuality in football and I would appreciate a few minutes of your time to share your thoughts on this subject. The survey is anonymous and can be found here:

Thanks in advance for your time.

Are you palarse

 

[McTavish]

Done.
Very interesting survey.

 

[The Optimist]

I find the options frustrating as I don’t necessarily agree with any of them.

For example, question 1 I don’t know. As a fan I’m not close enough to what’s going on inside football clubs to have any idea what’s stopping players coming out.
Question 3, his choice.

 

[madinthehead]

OK . Done.. A few answer options seemed to be missing though.

Knoockaert’s goal against Palace was definitely sexual football.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Done. Happy to help.

 

[jamie (not that one)]

Done!

Agree, there needs to be some "Don't know" options because as above, I don't know what happens in training, in the dressing room, at the PFA, etc.

Done.

I have put together many surveys. They are really hard to prep, with a risk of ambiguity, incoherence, or leading the participant. This is a very good survey, simple and unambiguous. Please make sure you post the result on NSC.

Like some others, I couldn't complete the survey.

Question 2, about homophobia - none of the suggested answers apply in my case. My free form answer would have been "No answer you provide tallies with my thoughts. The link you provide doesn't specify what the actual language was, so how can I say whether I think it was malicious, banter, or exaggerated? I guess that the fact that 2 fans were arrested demonstrates that a PO thought the language was sufficiently bad to justify an arrest, but without an example of the language used, I can't give you my personal opinion - I can only say that a PO thought s/he should arrest the fans."

Question 3, about Hitzsperger - again, none of the answers you provide tally with my opinion.

I stopped at that point. Sorry.

Perhaps offer an option for "other"?

The survey is a test of opinion, not of fact.

As a regular contrubutor to NSC I would have thought you'd have realised that

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Done.

As HWT says, I'd be interested to see the results.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

I answered several with what I felt to be the closest answer - but added comments as to what I really thought.

I took the question on Homophobic abuse to mean in general, rather than the specific case mentioned.
My view that the vast majority of this is banter ( based on a fairly ignorant and out of date perspective).
It can be quite witty, but as with most banter, regularly isn't.

Agree with others comments that some questions could have done with a Don't know option.

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

Done

Many thanks to those who have completed the survey. It is still live for those who have some time: https://doit.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_5d4gVVLc7wZUS57

I haven't completed it yet.

I suppose it is probably worthwhile doing as we probably need to start getting some survey Data from somewhere on the subject.
