There are plenty of clues you could have looked for all over the internet (I googled Brighton+gay to find that one). So you definitely look like a troll at the moment.

Shit, I should've run this post past [MENTION=16843]Hillian1[/MENTION]
This one at least confirmed as a hoax by Webber. (Via Jake Humphrey). Sad individual.

...and he's tweeted that it's not happening but isn't a hoax.
Well that's that put to bed then.

They do it because they haven't quite grown up yet.

Always thought it was an elaborate wind up. It wouldn't happen this way.
Steven Davies, the Worcs and England cricketer simply came out in a paper interview. No fanfare. It was well known, and not an issue, before then. This account says it only came out to family recently. There is no way such an event would be so close to a public announcement.
The main reason players would come out is to steal someone else's thunder. It's a good move. But what we are seeing here is something else I'm sure. Someone is having a laugh about a serious issue and it'll make it harder for players in that situation.
So why the wind up? So that people can say 'that's a good thing' and then the trolls can laugh and mock when nothing happens 'proving that there are no gay footballers and left wing melts are wetting themselves in the hope there may be just one'.
Gosh. How unpleasant.
Perhaps a gay footballer may now come out to disprove the wind up.
Maybe that's the intention.
A small number of people can be such snidey*****. I wish them death, and a slow and painful one.

It's not acceptable to use language like that.

Why oh why oh why?
Marc Albrighton is currently trending on Twitter, and people are asking "is he the footballer coming out?"

Well I'm sure you have reported the post, so let's see.

They deleted their account. 
Still think it is really odd that the press are reporting on this with seeming certainty that it isn't a hoax. Perhaps they are erring on the side of caution but you'd expect someone in the game has corroborated the story before they even bothered to report on it. What a weird series of events this has seemingly all been.

Let's see? So you think it's fine to use language like that, but you're waiting for the mods to tell you? Grow up.

Depressing either way, that it was a hoax, or that the player felt that it was too damaging.
I dont think the press would have run this without being pretty sure it was genuine.
