Re: Premier League Gay Footballer
All well and good claiming that football fans are either PC enough or too scared of life imprisonment to utter a homophobic comment, but all it would take is one bad tackle on your teams player or a scuffed shot or pass and the abuse and ‘bantz’ would start up.

If this guy exists or If any other gay player ‘comes out’ as Gay I think they would be very brave.
I’ve heard some shocking comments at Orient, although never anything racist, but I feel that any of the opposing players who were known to be gay Would get abuse from some fans. It’s a sad fact that even in 2020 people think that way but unfortunately there will always be racists and anti-gay fans in Football Grounds.
They’re an element in society and aren’t going anywhere unfortunately.
And yes I did call it out as well

Re: Premier League Gay Footballer
Got to be honest, the only racialist comment I’ve ever heard was someone making some lame joke at a welsh teams goalie being the black sheep of the family, or something.

Abuse via social media is just as big, if not bigger, an issue. Typified by the Zaha stuff today.

Re: Premier League Gay Footballer
I don’t know. You’d have to ask players if they find a SITMF or umpteen abusive e-comments more difficult to put up with.

Re: Premier League Gay Footballer
Unfortunately Dis’ I believe that society will never be rid of racists . If all football or sport was banned tomorrow racists wouldn’t disappear, they would still exist spouting their appalling abuse of black, brown or foreign people.Disoriented wrote: ↑Sun Jul 12, 2020 8:49 pmNot if we all call it out.Cheshunto wrote: ↑Sun Jul 12, 2020 5:48 pmSadly I think homophobic language and abuse would happen at home and away, however I think fans at our ground wouldn’t accept racist comments or chants.Disoriented wrote: ↑Sun Jul 12, 2020 9:06 am

It’s the same with homophobic folk . Yes, we could call it out but I think fans sitting around the offender would probably stay quiet not wanting to risk being abused themselves............it’s not right, I know, but a lot of people don’t wanna get involved .

Re: Premier League Gay Footballer
Exactly, not everyone wants to call it out. Lots of people are happy with their privileged position of being white and straight.Cheshunto wrote: ↑Sun Jul 12, 2020 11:29 pmUnfortunately Dis’ I believe that society will never be rid of racists .

Just look at how many people have taken offence at the black lives matter movement. That tells you all you need to know. Youve even got the leader of the Labour Party trying to call it a moment, not a movement, to downplay the whole situation.

Laughable. So not only is being white a privilege now but also being straight? What next?

Re: Premier League Gay Footballer
Reminds me of someone making the point at work once that the worst thing to be in the company is a white male hetrosexual, for if one formed a work society based on that they’d be probably be sacked for racialism/ sexism/ homophobia – yet every other group seems to be able to form societies with the company’s blessing.Apple Wumble wrote: ↑Tue Jul 14, 2020 11:28 amMale?

Re: Premier League Gay Footballer
Two people. One is straight white male with chronic depressive episodes and the other is a gay black man. I would be the black man 100 times out of 100. Stop being ridiculous. You are actually putting down the people you are supposedly defending.
