Apparently a current Championship footballer is going to come out as gay tomorrow. In this day and age it really shouldn’t be a big deal. I’m sure I speak for a lot of people that wish him all the best if he is happy to make this announcement. There probably isn’t much further to discuss.
What does intrigue and concern me is reports of a PL footballer also wanting to come out too but advised against it by his club due to a supposed backlash from fans. I’d like to think this concern by his club is over the players welfare rather than risk upsetting fans and sponsors in less tolerant parts of the world.
I’m sure as a club AFCB would be fully supportive if one of our players felt comfortable coming out. As with most clubs, we probably have a minority of fans who’d be upset but as a club we usually get this stuff right.
