8% of football fans would stop watching their team if a player 'came out'

Why does anyone need to come out?

Its not important if they are good enough that's all that matters.

I totally agree. Peoples ***uallity is their own business.

My point is that someone is less likely to call names to someone if they know someone is gay rather than if they suspect. In the same way the person who is out is more likely to be openly defended if he was out.

Strange logic but it's mine.
