Exactly.
So he probably bummed a few fellas in secret, hardly big news.
Fair play to the lad for coming out but leave it at that and let him play football.
Exactly.
In our celebrity obsessed society can only think its a claim to raise his profile.....and be famous....even for 15 minutes.....guess that wont happen playing for todays blackpool sideDB10GOONER wrote: ↑Thu May 19, 2022 7:40 amIt's such horseshit.

No one needs to know his private business, particularly in a high profile sport like football where there is not much intelligence or acceptance of anything outside the perceived norm. He will get treated like shit by some of his fellow players and ripped apart by oppo fans / homophobic idiots.
Yes yes blah blah he should have every right to live openly and freely as he chooses, I agree, but unfortunately that is not the world we live in. Ffs we still have black players getting racially abused on a weekly basis.
I don't care if you are straight, gay, bi-this, trans-that, or rodderz ( ), I will treat you depending on how you treat me and my family. But there are a lot of small minded morons out there that don't think like that.
If he was my kid I'd have said to him, keep your business to yourself, don't ever be ashamed of who you are, but don't be going around seeking media attention based on it, if you want to stay in football. After you finish playing then go court the media if that's what you want.
Personally I don't see the need to announce this kind of thing publicly. Just live your life.
I wish him luck, he'll probably need it.
