It’s a shame that it has to take bravery in 2022, but it absolutely does. And for him to do it at just 17 is seriously impressive, and will quite possibly pave the way for more established footballers to take the step

Huh. A whole six hours and no “is this really necessary, who cares?” comments. Did all the f**Keira leave the MB or something?

One does wonder re the media - there's a war in Ukraine, Sweden & Finland announce they want to join NATO, the political crisis in Northern Ireland, yet Sky News at 5 led last night chose the Daniels story to lead with.

It’s a major domestic story.

Because of the attitudes of many football fans - not you, I’m sure - there were no openly gay professional footballers in the UK. This is trail blazing.

Your statement said "we're all with you" an unsubstantiated statement, so as I said speak for yourself. wasn't to get a bite as you say

I think it’s the 21st century’s JFK moment. You will all remember where you were when John Daniels came out as gay. Fantastic achievement for the lad. Well done.

John as well? Blimey, they're all at it. Just waiting for the stories of Paul to emerge now.

Sadly not everyone is as open minded as you, bera. That's why this is such a massive deal.

Its Hardly the same news value .
While it is a Major domestic story
It doesn't compare to 1 of the biggest
Political Stories ever known.

Of course he is. Bera is truly enlightened, he doesn't even see someone's colour or gender. This boys sexuality makes no odds to him, and he cannot see how it would make any odds to anyone else.

In fact, it makes so little difference to him, he felt the need to pipe up and tell everyone that fact. I've seen quite a few people on social media these past 24 hours compelled to tell everyone how little difference this makes to anything.

I congratulate the lad, it’s a very brave act.
Seems like Blackpool fans, team mates and the club are backing him.
Interesting to see if others follow
