Lrrr Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 Wonder if it will get mentioned much on Sky's coverage of our game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppyDAZE Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 How long before the EFL instruct all clubs to play "I will survive" for when the teams line up and shake hands? Not anti- gay, but what is the point, really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudski Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 Where is all this LGBT stuff coming from? Who's leading it? What is the agenda behind it? Why is it being thought of? I notice the the education secretary is also advising teachers at all girl and all boy schools, not to refer to them as boys or girls when addressing them as a group. The whole world is going absolutely feckin mental. It's getting beyond ridiculous. All it does is cause resentment...not awareness. It's all going to backfire soon...and I'm under the impression that's what the 'agenda' actually wants. Social unrest amongst everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would describe myself as left wing, but our side of the house does need to be very careful of being overtaken by identity politics. Equally, the 'boys and girls' thing was said by the Government’s former mental health advisor to a girls school conference. Most certainly not the education secretary. Not sure of the context of it, but brings me to what I think the other side of the house needs to be careful of - just engaging in rage politics. Find the most looney tune thing you can find, and then create a sense of outrage as if everything is like that. Most of the people I work with are left of centre, some of them very, and I have yet to meet this famed social justice warrior that seems so popular to quote. They are just interested in things like, you know, health service, education, mental health services and what have you. Anyhow, Hope we stuff Hull.

Shtanley Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 I think it’s a shame that not a single footballer has come out whilst they’re still playing. Proof there’s a problem imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar BS3 Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 Why don’t they just get the players to play wearing mini skirts and have done with it..?! The World has gone ####ing mental! It will soon be socially unacceptable to be in a heterosexual relationship with your wife. Especially if you are outrageous enough to be white & work..!

spudski Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 If you are neither a man or a woman and you want to play professional football...or any other sport come to that matter...how does that work? You can see it coming to a point where 'all inclusive' will try to stop male and female professional sports. It's going that way. As for any footballer 'coming out'...I really don't understand why anyone has too. Why is anyone interested in anyone's sexuality? It's none of our business. Do straight people go around telling all and sundry in the workplace that they are straight? No...so why should other sexualities. It's all coming across as very much attention seeking and 'look at me, look at me'. Get on with your life...forget what others think. Be offended. The principle of 'sticks and stones will break my bones, but names will never hurt me', still applies. Being offended doesn't hurt you...be offended...whoever offended you is just a dick...deal with it and move on. So many bloody sensitive people in this world. They should be thankful they aren't living in a mud hut, treking 10 miles a day for water, or starving or being bombed. I can't see many like that, sat wearing a feather boa, trying to work out whether they want a dick or vagina over their next meal...rant over ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Statically there will be a percentage of footballers who are gay but nobody is claiming that the game is full of homosexuals. Just a reflection the national percentage.

One that is male dominated and testosterone filled, by nature. It’s like doing a survey of what team “the nation” supports but only doing the survey in one town. Of course, there probably are gays playing professional football. But I’ll bet my house on the numbers being nowhere near as high as the average national percentage! Go into a gay club and ask how many straight blokes are in there. It will not represent the national average! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know what the national ratio is, but I’d imagine (seriously) that the cast of strictly probably balances out the national ratio of the whole of the championship not having any gay players. Perhaps not literally, but it illustrates my earlier point of how it’s hugely unlikely that football has anywhere even close to the national ratio of gays playing in the professional national leagues.

I don't know what the national percentage stats are for homosexual men but let's say it's 15% of the population. It therefore suggests that there will be 15% of homosexual men in any particular profession. Builders, lawyers, pilots, soldiers and of course footballers. Its nothing to do with PC - it's a statical fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
