This is the crux of the problem. (Some) of the public think that this is the case, but it's wrong.

Footballers sell newspapers, and many fans are twats.

What I have found when I'm out in the pubs pretending to be single is that the hetero birds love to be noticed for the way they look. It might be enjoyable to have a "night out with the girls" but their overall preference is to be noticed as sexy by the leery blokes.

Don't be ridiculous.










You don't go to the football, ever.

Presumably not many Albion fans in that 8%.

Where do they get their figures from.'
Do they not know how fickle football fans are.

I've known teams to contain an Adam and Steve but never an Adam and Eve.

I know why [MENTION=34206]Pretty Plnk Fairy[/MENTION] doesn't come to the Albion now. What is this team of Adam and Eve's he refers to ?

You are SUCH entertainment. You could be banned for the most hideous crime and I'd campaign for you back.

What is it that Adam and Eve are doing at the football to give you the compulsion to attend ? Only I'm guessing Adam and Steve are in the team...

An online poll? I bet that's reliable! First bias that springs to mind is that you're far more likely to answer it if you have strong views on the subject - like homophobes for instance. I don't believe for a second that 8% of of fans would stop watching a team if there was a gay player in it, any more than sad racists stopped watching their clubs because they had black players.
