Interesting point about the crackdowns though. Maybe more players just coming out would help more than any virtue signaling.

Maybe more players just coming out would help more than any virtue signaling. no problem all is good yeah it's a tough situation for sure, but it's at least being discussed more frequently than in past years. and some players, like marcus rashford who i mentioned, have come out to show their support and let their teammates know they will be supported if they ever come out publicly. from what i've heard, at least in europe, a lot of players are out to their teammates but are terrified of the public's reaction. i could see maybe a famous footballer coming out in retirement and maybe that could change things, or several footballers coming out at once for safety in numbers. as for the muslim world...... it's gonna be decades before anything changes if ever, LGBT rights actually regressed not progressed in the past decade. i don't even know what to say at this point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aghfddgjjff mess, are you in the US? FOX Network probably on delay because they have to censor swear words, wardrobe malfunctions or something like that (my guess) ------ Wales got 4 extra minutes and still failed to score anything.
