Shaki Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 The reason for Germany's "failure" at the world cup has been revealed - pooves in the team.Storm over 'bunch of gays' in Germany's World Cup team | World news | The GuardianExperts estimate that around 10 per cent of all Bundesliga professionals are gay.Whaaaat?! Where are your sources?! Is that based on 10% of men being gay? What sort of experts? I can just imagine a panel of folk going through each player one by one. Straight, straight, straight, GAY! straight, straight, half gay... Professional football - the last bastion ('scuse the almost pun) of homophobia. There'll be a homosexual president of Uganda before its accepted for a footballer to come out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would a footballer still get the same abuse they might have in the 70s and 80s if they came out now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 All the media attention and pestering the first openly gay footballer would get would probably be worse than any treatment they'd get from fans (at least I hope it would be).
