I’m not surprised. These sports are the entertainment for the masses, like former gladiator games. If you are expecting waves of tolerance, fairness, and politeness, you will be sorely disappointed. Most people are deeply bigoted and hateful.
only for openly gay players. The leagues must be full of gay players who are saying nothing. The only way to beat this is to come out and make the system, players, clubs, fans and the world face reality. Football is too big to be homophobic.
Society just needs to start getting violent with bigots and fascists again. We let political correctness control our minds for waaaay too long, while the stupids just fed and grew. Now the stupids have way too much power and leniency and we need to go back to pushing them into the dregs again.
The problem is when suddenly you are considered the “fascist” then an angry mob hangs you from a lamp post. There is a reason why “political correctness” exists.
That’s not excusing it or making allowances for it. And I think football has a role, in fact a duty, to be a force for good and promote inclusion. But it also isn’t responsible for the views of everyone who follows it and tarring all who do with the same brush is a form of bigotry in itself.

Makes you wonder how primitive and retarded people become over a ball…
Football is the biggest sport, arguably the largest cultural phenomenon in the world. As a result it reflects society as a whole, good and bad.
Homophobic scumbags included.
