I think you've summed up the situation in regard to this purported gay footballer very well. However my concern is for what happens in respect of the "minority of numb skulls". If their idiocy manifests itself in homophobic chanting what happens then ? In my view there are no degrees of discriminatory behaviour. it seems to me that homophobic chanting is equally as bad as racist chanting and racist chanting can end up with large fines and games played behind closed doors. If a footballer comes out as gay and his first game as an "out" footballer is at CCS , how will we get it over to our "numbskulls" what is not acceptable and what their unacceptable behaviour might lead to. Perhaps I am doing our fans a disservice and it wouldn't happen here but I'm fairly sure it would happen elsewhere and whilst attitudes toward racist behaviour at football grounds is well understood I don't think you can say the same about homophobia.
