are you placing yourself in the 8% then?

How would you react if someone of the standing of say, Curt, Leon or Roger Freestone came out as gay?.

I'm confident 99.9999% of swans fans wouldn't give a toss.


I wouldnt chant or abuse players or joe public for being an ass cadet, I think its wrong, thats my view, I'll post my opinion, hold my thoughts but would still admire the professional footballing ability.

Tbf, if one of his Grade A kickboxer sons were gay and he went off on one with them, they'd knock him the f*** out...


Can you imagine trying to come out to someone like that? Hard to believe that there's people like him still about nowadays.

He reminds of the Dad from American beauty.

He probably believes being a kick boxer makes you immune from being gay.


There's a particularly well known kick boxer who is a close friend of a certain Real Madrid player unless I'm mistaken...

Oh, and I bet nothing like 8% of Swans fans would moan if he signed for us!

Not sure why being a kick boxer has anything to do with it?

Thankfully, all you'd be asked to do is admire the skills isn't it? It's not like he'd be likely to ask you on a date.

Boasting that your kid is a "grade A kick-boxer" is the reversal of the "my dad is harder than your dad" argument.

Except it's far more sad and pathetic.

He certainly was. As eccentric in real life as he appeared on screen. You've got to love that.

I'm sure they really appreciate their dad talking then up on an anonymous Internet forum.

They probably enjoy the sport and good luck to them. But honestly, nobody really cares about your kids' kick-boxing achievements.

20per cent of males have homosexual or bisexual tendencies.

Clearly, it's a case of regarded thinking to believe it's a crime, not natural or desirable.

It is what it is and you are who you are.

Nobody should live a lie.

Plenty of my generation did and killed themselves ,as did my nephew aged 21

I'm extremely comfortable in my sexuality and have no issues with that of others. I have plenty of straight and gay friends.

I'm pretty sure we wouldn't have much in common so I'll politely decline your offer.

It always astonishes me that homophobic attitudes are still abound in 2016. For someone to say that they would not abuse a player for being gay yet homophobically abuse them in the same post says a lot about the poster's character.

I'm not entirely sure what someone being a kick boxer has to do with whether or not they are gay. Equally a 'decent upbringing' has nothing to do with someone's sexuality, it's akin to saying I've black hair therefore my mum and dad did a good job.

If I was gay and a professional footballer would I come out ? Not sure, part of me would say, 'it's nothing to do with anyone' but a bigger part would say 'sod 'em, it's who I am'.

Very proud to see that the vast majority in this thread are of the school that they wish that in 2016 this was a non story.

Not really when that opinion is borderline homophobic and can be treated as a hate crime.
