The Ugly Side of Football

So we have learned that footballers are all cheating whores (did you hear the rumour about Steven Gerrard having an affair with his wife’s sister?). And more is surely on the way as three England players have recently been granted injunctions banning the reporting of allegations about their private lives.
This comes around the same time as the findings from the survey, done by researchers Ellis Cashmore and Jamie Cleland, suggest that gay footballers are being pressured to keep their sexual preferences secret by their agents and their clubs. Out of half a million professional football players in the world, not one is openly gay.
 “Of the professional players, coaches and referees (polled in the survey) 27 percent said they personally know gay players currently in the game, though none have taken the step of coming out," Cashmore said in a statement released to Reuters.
Seriously? It’s fine for your brand as a footballer to cheat your pregnant wife with a prostitute but it’s not ok to be gay? Pass me the sick bag please!
