If rugby can get the ball rolling (no pun intended) then surely football can.
Absolutely. I think there’s been a couple have come out after their careers were over but there’s bound to be players currently playing out there that are gay. Says a lot about our own society when they still aren’t comfortable coming out in 2022.Another point I think on this one is something really needs to be done about the fact that somehow we have multiple leagues without a single homosexual player. It's crazy isn't it? Does professional football repel homosexuals?
If you think that's the problem then you're not really going to understand the actual problem.
There’s no way there’s no gay footballers already playing in the leagues. The issue is they clearly don’t feel comfortable ‘coming out’What can you do? Force a gay person to be a footballer?
What do you think should happen then?

It's the hashtag being used by the community to highlight the issue, it's being used in an ironic way.I was assuming that David Beckham had came out.
Also, is bender a nice term? I didn’t think it was used by anyone, even homosexuals, unless being used in a derogatory way?

Footballer Murray 'blown away' by support after coming out as gay
Zander Murray became the first senior professional footballer in Scotland to come out as gay last week.www.bbc.co.uk
And anyone questioning fifa being bribed for this, well even the then president (done for bribes etc) said it was a 'mistake' awarding Qatar the tournament..... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/63554507
He didn't seem to think it was a mistake at the time when he was taking the cash.
Yea, I'm not so sure staying at home will keep the English fans away.
You'd hope all this criticism is enough.The tournament will continue. But if they didn't go then FIFA may start to take the hint that they need to think about where they stage it in the future when ad revenues take a dive for example.
Has anyone pointed out the irony of the OP using a homophobic slur in the title of a thread about respecting the LGB community?
Oh, OK. I didn't read it, I saw Joe Lycett and bounced. But thanks for the enlightenmenthttps://benderslikebeckham.com/ You should visit it. It is relevant.

My bad, I had my reply open for a while and hadn't refreshed so didn't see that.Yes, do keep up!
Who are you thinking about. The public doesn't elect people for honours. He needs to impress the people that do give out the honours.
It's not about changing Qatar, it's about changing FIFA and any other western entity that thinks we should be doing business by staging tournaments with countries like this and expecting our residents to travel there and contribute to their economy.
