Desperate rush?

FFS, I opened NSC saw your thread and posted.

And I don't care, not one fvcking jot, having gay nephews and nieces does that to you.

Don't you care that they might feel happier having open and honest role models in such a high profile job? Seems like a good thing to me.

Dunno, I'll ring them and ask before I answer on their behalf.
Give me a minute.

Seeing as your interested in what my niece thinks she said "what, who, why should I be interested, I'm just picking my son up so have to go"

We do seem to be taking this tweet at face value.

There is no way that that is a genuine account. These players all have PR people ready for such announcements. There is no way that it would be done in such an unprofessional manner if that lad was planning on making such an announcement

How many people have to "come out" before enough have come out that we no longer need people to come out? As far as I know it, player's don't need to state their sexual orientation.

Why don't we add it to the player profiles on the Sky Sports team line up?

I can see it now, Darren Fletcher turns round, walks to the camera, puts his arms behind his back, "heterosexual"

I think it's great that he's allegedly announced to his teamates that he is gay.
A very brave man at that, it'll set a bench mark for others, who've not been brave or comfortable in coming out (no pun intended).
It'll sort out the knuckle daggers from the genuine supporters.

I'm in the 'who cares' camp. We can only truly make homophobia a thing of the past when nobody cares about it. Shouting it from the roof tops like the media are likely to do, will make this into a big, massive thing, and put lots of pressure on him. I'd prefer it if they didn't put him in the spotlight and left him be. So what? Some people are gay, it's nature. No need to put it on the front page.

But as we're not quite there yet, I'll quietly add I have a lot of respect for him given the circumstances.

You carry on caring then, and I'll carry on not giving a shit.

Please do; it’s nice that we can live our lives open and freely. I’m sure you’d give a shit if you felt you couldn’t.

He hasn't.

For all I know (feck all) it's true, but I'd rather hear the story from a proper source and not someone who appears to know the same as me.

Corrected, but surely it is public, as it's on social media now?

So whether he is or isn't, he'll get abuse for it now from the people that would have abused him if he was. So he's ****ed.

So it's come from the twitter account of a child. Great. 6 pages all for that. Check your sources!!
 




So why the desperate rush to prove how 'on message' you are by responding , who cares ?

You what you were saying about rushing to post, well maybe take your own advice and check something is genuine first before posting first eh.

Somebody has already pointed out to this 'source' that he's got a girlfriend and a kid.
