So apparently a footballer has actually come out.  Im sure there have been no other gay footballers to this point.  A breakthrough of sorts.

Didn't Justin Fashunu come out?.....and pardon the expresion.

Great name. Robert Hampton Rogers.

Robbie Rogers?

I bet he does.

Robbie Rogers was doing really well in MLS and playing regular for the national side... and then he joined Leeds.

Is the fact I couldn't give a monkeys good or bad? Who cares about what turns on a footballer?

Remember this stunner.

Yes, and the industry didn't exactly support him then. One can only hope that this player's stance will not be undermined by the fact that he happens to be called Hampton Rogers.

sun headline after its been found he had an affair  with ex liverpool player ALLEGEDLY :
 Robbie Rogers rogers  Robbie foul - ooh er

Talking of man love, watch the winner of the 1973 Golden Goal

Here fucking here. You don't get headlines about a straight so and so doing such an such do you?

Couldn't give a flying fuck, if they're a good player then who cares? Politics just like sexulaity should be kept out of football.

er yep , every day

Just listening to the players' names reminded me of this classic:http://www.pure80schat.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=9315.0;wap2 (http://www.pure80schat.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=9315.0;wap2)

Hang on a minute....

'For the past 25 years I have been afraid, afraid to show who I really was because of fear,'

Erm no, that's not quite right, unless you came out of your mum's vagina fancying a bit of cock.   Surely for the last 10 years or so he's been scared of coming out. Fucking shit statement.

kill the gay

Not at all, more like have a word with the bloke who wrote a slightly OTT statement.

I certainly didn't get in fancying a bit of skirt til I had a few years under my belt.

Stop drinking, both of you. You're making yourselves look a bit stupid.

sorry , it was a joke .  I dont really care what sexuality anyone wants to involve themselves in as long as i dont have to watch it ( lesbians excepted) .

Going back to your previous post im pretty sure any player coming out nowadays will get alot different reaction to what they might have 20-30 years ago , people are more open minded . Obviously you will still have the knuckle draggers who abuse black players etc but this is very much the minority and im sure the more gay players that docome out it wont even be an issue to the majority of fans  .

Exactly.

Well that's a bit easier to agree with. You would hope people will stop being outraged by other people just wanting to get on with their lives.

Not in the same sense and in such a sensationalist manner.

I don't think anyone was 'outraged' by this at all.

Rogers would have played alongside Migs at Columbus Crew.

Migs was great.

i have to admit ive only read this story on here , has it been in the tabloids ?

What Bo Gusdavé said. Who gives a fuck. He's gay, I'm indifferent and Mick Hucknall stinks of piss.

NO, IM INDIFFERENT

I reckon the gay footballers think everyone will be outraged if they come out. In reality, most people don't give a toss.

Except for Millwall fans. And probably all the players they've been getting naked in front of, having showers with and hugging and kissing when a goal is scored. But everyone other than that doesn't give a toss.

You've only got to look at the recent Parliament vote on gay marriage for proof of that. The press coverage was more about the Tory MP's voting against it (and Cameron) than the actual bill itself.

Can't help but think that gay people are annoyed they accepted nowadays and not the centre of attention anymore.

oooh get you

 Gareth Thomas, the egg chaser came out, and the world didn't end...although I suppose with the public school background, and the sticking your head up around another bloke's balls, and hanging on to anything dangling in the scrum, means there's always been a suspicion that rugby is populated by a goodly number of poofters.

Football has to have the odd few, but I suspect that not many have come out, becasue there aren't many.

And them drinking pints of cum for for forfeits , are a giveaway

Do you have a stammer?

ye ye ye yeye ye  .........no you daft cunt

What happens if he's a bas footballer then? Then you do care??

If he is a bad footballer then would obliviously want him to fuck off elsewhere. But I still wouldn't care.

Then he'll probably get a ridiculous hairstyle, moonwalk when he scores and miss chances like this

We had a gay player within the ranks only a couple of years ago. There could be others now, not that I know of or care.
