Bearsy Posted 27 September, 2013 Share Posted 27 September, 2013 Didn't exactly have the effect they desired, did it. on the contrary, stonewall got their name in the papers + paddy power got free advertising And thusly the great campaign vs football homosex was deemed great success.

About all the rainbow laces stuff, Stonewall were in the metro saying they didn't want footballers to come out for the sake of the fans....

Bearsy Posted 27 September, 2013 Share Posted 27 September, 2013 if I was at work and done some good work, and suddenly all my fit bird colleagues was mobbing me + kissing me + jumping all over me + rubbing hot bodies against mine, I would get boner. I wouldn't be able to help it. Even tho they is just my colleagues + I have girlfriend, I would get boner. I'm even getting boner now just thinking bout it.

No-one actually expected dozens of footballers to suddenly come out the next week. how far away from the point am i? the point was to show the world that premier league clubs/footballers support the gay footballers and in doing so would make an open and safe environment in which they could come out and be accepted, without anyone singing songs or making up chants about them. surely. so if this is the case, why hasn't it happened, a la clarke carlisle saying it would, and why is it unreal to beleive they would? unless there aren't dozens of gay footballers around as the figures quoted say there is.

Tokyo-Saint Posted 27 September, 2013 Share Posted 27 September, 2013 What about the Jews bear? If we have now done all the gays (mostly you I'll admit), shouldn't we move on to the Jews who want to go to football but don't feel safe about it and then the ghosts after that?

KelvinsRightGlove Posted 27 September, 2013 Share Posted 27 September, 2013 (edited) how far away from the point am i? the point was to show the world that premier league clubs/footballers support the gay footballers and in doing so would make an open and safe environment in which they could come out and be accepted, without anyone singing songs or making up chants about them. surely. so if this is the case, why hasn't it happened, a la clarke carlisle saying it would, and why is it unreal to beleive they would? unless there aren't dozens of gay footballers around as the figures quoted say there is. Do you really think anyone thought after one weekend of people wearing rainbow laces people are going to start coming out in their droves? That wasn't even remotely the point. It is to raise awareness of the inherit problem of homosexuality in a macho environment, and in doing so start a discussion about it. From there, conditions can be improved - which will hopefully lead to footballers feeling comfortable to come out, if they so wish.
