Im not a kid actually.
I think most boys are rightly scared of or uncomofortable around gay men. If they know they are gay.

For non-Portuguese/Spanish speakers Marica means gay (Maricas[pt]; Maricón[es]).

Perhaps you can shed some light on the supposedly gay German NT players or Bundesliga ones for us with your knowledge of your country.

There is none. Like everything else in here Gomez' statement was taken completely out of context. He was merely asked (by a German "people-magazine") what he thought about the matter in general and urged his colleagues around the world to come out, because he isn't of the opinion that it'd backlash on them in this day and age. He was never specific and didn't mean to fuel discussions. It was basically him saying: "What I think about gays? I'm cool with them!"

I see.
Well in any case, there is 'none' is most likely the wrong answer. Simple statistics says otherwise. But who? I suppose we don't know.

I have my doubts about Berbatov. I think he's a prime candidate.

Jermaine Jenas once stuck a mobile phone up Ashley Cole's arse, at least according to this bloke down the pub.

On a more serious note there was a programme on the BBC a while back about gay footballers, using welsh rugby player Gareth Thomas, and former NBA star John Amaechi as examples of high profie sportsmen who have recently came out, and whether or not in this day and age would a high profile footballer in the UK come out, post Justin Fashanu.
On the one hand it's really no one elses business, but on the other it's reported that many gay footballers/athletes don't go "public" due to the backlash they feel they or their families may potentially receive if they did so. Which is a real sad state of affairs if true, but i can understand as sadly those ignorant attitudes are still out there.
In many ways it could do a lot of good if a number of high profile sportsmen and women were openly gay, but could you imagine the media furore if say Jack Wilshere or Gareth Bale came out? But in reality I think we are a long way off from seeing this happen.
On a side note I did not know until recently that homosexual acts were only decriminalised in Scotland in 1981, which is pretty crazy.

Very good read. Thanks.
The Darren Purse interview article which is linked there is interesting as well.
After reading all this, I really do feel for homosexual footballers.
It's a sad cruel world at times. The sport really is stuck in stone ages. It's SUCH a taboo and hopefully guys like Anton will have shown the way for others to come out and be themselves and not have to pretend to be something/somebody else anymore.I bet there are lots of gay footballers. They're all just so scared to come out. There's probably one in every dressing room in every EPL club, etc.
