" Any thoughts why its an issue for male footballers ?" Justin Fashanu, even his own brother turned his back on him. I think the footballing world is ready for it now though. I just hope we don't see a mass of faux support for him by opposing fans. Patronisation won't help the cause. If he comes to play against Birmingham, (assuming he's not one of ours) I hope he's met with the same derision that every straight player is. I don't want to see people being applauded because they're gay. I also think that account is fake, btw. | |||

There were 41 openly gay lady footballeds at the recent world cup and there was no issue . Any thoughts why its an issue for male footballers ?"

Let’s just say that most football fans have moved on, but there are still some that a very, very vocal and as someone said tribal. One of the reasons I’ve still not took my 11 year old Unfortunately, we are a long way from rugby, our fans won’t be mixed and you definitely won’t be drinking watching the game in the stadium. | |||

"Cos some people still live in the dark ages and think it's a choice and the wrong one at that. It is becoming less of a big deal though, which is awesome. I look forward to a day when sexuality isn't a big deal and no one has to "come out"." | |||

It doesn't mean it wasn't a foul but they make the referee's mind up for him by hitting the deck. It's putting a stop to the real cheating (such as shirt pulling) that used to go more often. You can throw all the lazy cliches around that you like but the game and its rules, have changed from the days when assault was legal. | |||

"Ask Brighton fans if homophobia is still present in the game, they get enough abuse over it." And yet they come to Cardiff and shout about how we have sex with sheep. Luckily we can take the mick out of ourselves and don't take it to heart. Everyone comes to us singing 'Sheep Shaggers' so we just join in as it's just terrace banter. | |||

Why did they need to bring 'citing' into rugby, it isn't this gentleman's game. Isn't 'bloodgate' faking injury? It's not just football, or at least mostly in mens football. And it's not every player either. In regards to supporting your local team, sports moved on. If your Grannies sisters uncle was from that particular country you might just get a game. Rugby is full of that as well, certainly at international level (England and Wales spring to mind). But yeah back to the top. How come rugby is still behind football in so many ways if it's that good? | |||

There shouldn't be but the ones who are gay and playing probably don't publicise it as it could affect their income via image rights values and shirt sales. | |||

"The problem the player has in coming out is the mentality of a lot of football fans we’ve all heard the sick chants about hillsborough and the Munich air crash so can you imagine the crowd if a player comes out as I’ve said it’s a problem with the type of mentality some fans have players have had all sorts of insults about their sexuality shouted at them from the stands you don’t hear it happen at any other sport some of the football chants are funny but a lot are sick " The difference is that homophobic chants will end up with the perpetrators receiving football banning orders. There'll hardly be any. | |||

The stick and abuse they would get would be high , the newspapers would go to town on them as well It still happens now they say "gay George Michael or gay elton John "but they never flip it and say straight mark wright or straight Danny dyer , it really shouldn't matter who you sleep with but sadly it still does " There's already been a 'first'.

I honestly don’t care one bit whether a famous footballer likes to have sex with other men or not. Any more than I care whether he prefers to have sex with women or not. It’s a crazy world where we feel everyone and his wife is interested in our sex life. | |||
