Like I said previously, I really don't care about the private lives of players, I care what they do during the match but there seems to be the horrible spectre of celebrity sneaking into even lower league football now
One of the main reasons sportsmen and women don't come out is the fear of the detrimental impact it could have on their career and therefore career earnings. Former Welsh rugby star Gareth Thomas spoke well on this very openly in the past so I very much doubt the reason is financial. Quite the opposite.
