I agree it's sad that someone coming out is news but that's the macho nonsense around football and male society in general as alot of posts on this thread have proven. Apparently he's not come out cause he's proud of who he is and why hide it, it's so he can make loads of money and sign for the big six. Please behave.
Jesus, reading comprehension in here must be at an all time low. I did not say he did it for money, I said that he can be expecting a tidy windfall through coming out, it is massively different. He has his own reasons for doing it, but he will likely make a tidy some by being the first. There will also be a clamour by the PR departments for signing him as it will look good, there was a fantastic article about how certain clubs don't just sign players for their ability but also their commercial aspect, having the first openly gay player for a while will certainly tick that box. I've seen you're not commenting on this topic any more, it probably for the best as you lack the intellectual ability to keep up
