Undoubtedly, it's true that there is homophobia in the black community. As there is in the white, Indian, Chinese, Turkish, Mongolian, Brazilian etc communities.
In football's macho, laddish culture it's even more prevalent. I don't really see how black homophobia is any different to that of other groups. There haven't been more incidents involving black players, have there?
My point originally was the paradox between the fight against racism, for which black players have rightly been the beneficiaries, and what I still contend is a disproportionate level of blatant homophobia in the game from some black players.
