elsewhere even later on only partly regretted this in his 1995 autobiography it wasn't wrong to point out his sexual orientation but i should have done it privately passionless performances on the pitch suffered you don't already been the target of racist chatter now there were also homophobic slurs. and here we have one of the reasons that i decided to this day about why footballers don't come out the fear of getting abuse in stadiums but hang on what should black players say to them should they stop their careers or is being a ref because of their homosexuality different to abuse because of your skin color she always says it's a possible to display being gay puts forward the following argument there is a lot of testosterone in the locker room bruising to get collective showers it's tricky tricky but excuse me only view impossible to change sadistic say between 3 and 10 percent of the world's population is homosexuals or guys now translate this

to football still thinks no one is gay come on back to fashion week under 21 international dealt with this dilemma through denial he told his coach he would get married to a woman soon he became a born again christian but his life as a gay man continued which is logical is a way what if you were told to suppress one of your most private sphere is your sexual orientation. in the football world today it still seems to be suppressed many of the internalized the testosterone fueled world talks about take . a female reporter asked him to comment on an intimate looking photo of him and his kid his answer have a look of yes he should be less of a dedicated money coach i'll come to my house and i'll show you how gay i am and bring your sister too. then there are homophobic fans of course true you will.

also see a gay friendly banner is in many stands today some teams even support the l.g. beating flag on their shirts but everyone who has been to a stadium in recent years knows the chance of fashion who once had to listen to have not fully disappeared like in the early eighties. speaking of the early eighty's 1982 to be precise the dispute with fashion was the coach had reached a new level he was banned from training police eventually had to escort fashion off the training ground his time at nottingham forest was over the u.k. decriminalised homosexual acts between man and private in 1967 but homophobia remains widespread and not just in the u.k. in fact the world health organization only stopped calling it a mental disorder in that the early ninety's bancroft later admitted that he had failed to support his place i had a responsibility towards him because he was under my jurisdiction as the manager of the club and i gave them nothing to justin's passionless career went further down hit after a loan spell at southampton he played at notts county his market value had gone

down by more than 80 percent well for want of proof from their team and the eighty's he had lost his magic on the pitch also it further clubs in brighton and the us and canada living his gay lifestyle and still praying to the lord asking for forgiveness fashion as taylor has all the ingredients for a netflix documentary and little wonder there is one. today's football world offers a stark contrast especially with the flawless live shot on instagram but if you take a closer look you see that a lot of the imagery is like that traditionally associated with gay men's magazines psychologists also point to another aspect of coming out as a homosexual and that doesn't have to do with instagram footballers create their own brands they often center on masculinity and being a real man so aftershave don't sell if you come out the same guys who pretend to have been struck by

a tornado when they're tackled fairly the same guys who roll over and gently pushed they are supposedly the real man so why don't more of the corners to come out of the closet there are repeated rumors and speculation but not much more 30 years after a fashion some say there are even agencies paid to find the wives of convenience players but almost everything around today's footballers and homosexuality remains a mystery what i do know for sure though if a player were to come out and let's assume it would be a top level guy known internationally i swear that in today's world it would only be one day and the next weekend you would see thank you banner is in the stands and a lot of people would be relieved fashion who had his coming out moment in 1900. 80000 pounds to a tabloid paper his brother john also a professional footballer had offered him the same amount not to go public just and then started to make up stories attracted by the easy money that comes with them

you love the attention he got fashion to become a regular guest on talk shows after years of traveling the world as a journeyman he ended up as a youth coach in the us state of maryland in 1998 after being accused of sexually assaulting a 17 year old boy fashion who fled back to their fashion we heard reports that an international warrant has been issued for his arrest on may 3rd british t.v. announced last in-session has been found dead in the ground as a nice fellow. in many places around the world his tragic story seems like from another time but why did most of the world has come a long way even overcoming its homophobia the football world is lying behind and apparently will continue to do so for the time being what do you think why does it still refuse to face real.
