Don’t misunrstand what I’m sayg here: I’m not suggtg everyone football management is ol wh beg gay – even now, most managers are olr, workg-class men who are often the last to adapt to changg social attus.

NBA veteran Jason Colls be the first openly gay athlete to play a major US sports league, and is given a warm receptn by spectators. * gay celtic players *

Recently, my lleague Neil Cameron spoke to one of the players wh the LGBT team HotSts FC, Craig Anrson, who said there have been tim when the homophobic abe he’s heard at gam has ma him wonr whether football is the game for him. One theory that am me is that the fans who are most vol wh homophobic abe are tryg to e to terms wh the fact they love a game that idolis physilly f young men. A game like football which the players are so unhibed about kissg and touchg each other should be the least homophobic of all, but some male fans may stggle wh that, so they shout about poofs and queers to try to prove to the rt of that they’re not terted the sight of players kissg and huggg other men.

The ia that homophobia football might be a problem wh specific typ of men rather than fans more generally is also borne out by the recent women’s world cup.

Men’s profsnal football has virtually no openly gay players, but the women’s game is the oppose – is full of out gay women at the hight level. And even the homophobia the female players experience nfirms this is really a male problem we’re talkg about: some fans like to assume all female players are lbians bee they thk football is sentially a man’s sport and any woman who wants to play mt “want to be a man”.
