Infact CarheeX is probably more on the more, it's just their agents, coaching staff, managers etc will tell them they're not allowed to come out for fear of negative reaction, loss of fan base, victimisation etc, which is all pathetic.

I doubt that ..probably no more than a handful i'd say. footy is not really a gay guys thing is it Such an ignorant comment. He didn't say that no gay men like football. He's right though, in general gay men don't like football. As a rule of thumb. I've known a few gay men and not one of them has ever had an interest in football. They say 1 in 10 (I think?) people are gay. That doesn't mean 1 in 10 footballers are gay. For example, I'd say the average for male dancers being gay is probably higher than 1 in 10. Personally, I don't think Raheem is gay. I heard he got 2 birds pregnant? Was that not true?? Either way, I couldn't give a flying f*ck as to whether he is or not, to be honest. It has nothing to do with football or him as a player.

Its the society we live in. Anyone that has talent must have a dark secret. We build players up to let them fall

I've never met or known of a gay man who likes football. Same as I've never met a straight man who likes Glee and Britney Spears. Not meant in an offensive way, just observational.

Bar, I know you're not trying to be offensive, but you're still suggesting that gay men, more often than not, are genetically predisposed to not liking football, which is rubbish. An uncle of mine is gay and in a civil partnership, they are both massive Spurs fans. A lad on the 6-a-side team I play for is gay, as is one guy on my typical rough going Sunday 11-a-side team.

I didnt say that your comment was insuating this but the initial comment stated that 'football is not really a gay guys thing'. So....what is a gay guys thing then?

Firstly, "more often than not", I am suggesting that, yes. I'm sorry, I'm not going to be overly-PC and suggest that that's not true. If anybody has found that to be untrue in their lives, then I'd be truly astounded, but it's been the case too overwhelmingly for me to be anything to true. I've never said NO MEN like football, or anything to the sort, but there's definitely a tilt there. As for genetics, I haven't mentioned that. I don't know what makes people gay and I don't know what makes some gay people act camp. Would you agree that more men like football than women?
