Eight per cent of fans ‘wouldn’t watch team containing gay player’

Cheers.

It seems wrong to 'like' a post about someone expressing how they feel they've suffered.

Thanks for sharing.

 

I mean I'll happily take the wages but I can't guarantee I'll make a decent pass all game.

 

Don't worry. None of us will ever learn if we don't talk about stuff.

Hope I've made things clear. I'm not one to bang the gay agenda, but having seen what shifting attitudes can do, I feel it is so important with this.

 

I totally agree. A limitation (but needed imho) of this board is a 'no politics' rule, but I feel the 'safe space' culture of modern universities is a negative, as it discourages open debate and leaves some students less prepared for the wider world.

Bigots of all types should be heard so that they can be challenged in my view.

Personally, I think it is an issue in the UK.

Did you go on Saturday?

 

Though look up Stephen Davies (I think the only openly gay, but definitely the first cricketer) on Wilkpedia, no mention of his sexuality

 

is that the same as those watching a team with a name change?

 

Well there goes an interesting, thought provoking thread
Good while it lasted

 

isnt it good that no fan from Hull City would be shallow, I mean fancy not watching a team cos of something trivial like a gay player.................. or even a name change

 

well a name is about as important as sexuality

 

Some don't watch regardless.

 

some dont.

 

Leave it...it's not worth it (literally...it's not even worth the microscopic wear and tear on your phone screen!)
