Footballer comes out

[EJWTartanSpur]

I have it on good authority that Snodders is a thick as pig shit ned, so its hardly surprising

Is it me or is this comment from Robert Snodgrass really a bit stupid...

• Norwich's former Leeds winger Robert Snodgrass: "Full respect to Robbie Rogers coming out. Just shows there are more gay players than we think. I didn't have one indication he was gay. Respect bro."

Well meaning - but yeah, a bit thick.

Are we 100% sure Robbie Rogers isn't a fictional gay footballer in Viz? Just asking.

25 years he was afraid? How the fuck did he know he was gay at birth?

lol.

From birth might be pushing it a bit, but a lot of gay people do know they're gay from quite an early age, like about eight. It's not uncommon for someone to know which gender they fancy way before they're biologically able to do anything about it, or even know what it is they'd do.

His first thought might have been 'I'm not going back in there again'.

Robbie Rogers? With a name like that they couldn't tell he was gay?

Good luck to him, but at the end of the day footballers private lives are none of my business. Gay, straight, a fetish for vacuum cleaners, all that matters is what they do on the pitch. This fascination with celebrities private lives is just a bit sad.

Imagine if he had a double barrelled name Robbie Rodgers-Brown

Seriously though fair play to him, Justin Fashanu had a lot of trouble with it and for all we sing at Sol C*ntbell its less to do with his actual sexuality tbh. I heard from a German mate of mine that Jurgen is known to be a very warm guy in Germany. I think it's more accepted in other countries tbh.

There was a rumour that Jimmy Greaves left Italy cause he couldn't handle the fact that the Italian players would pass the ball boy round in the after game bath.

 

[beats1]

He just signed for LA Galaxy

What jimmy greaves?

There's some gold in this thread, straight men arguing over who is more accepting of gays, brilliant!
