The Gay Footballer

[Rita]

I totally agree. I really hope it is real, and we do get progress rather than someone running fast through a lions den.

 

[GNL]

I'm sure one of the reasons why it's being managed this way is so that there is a lot of support built up for him before it happens, with the hope that that may fend off some of the homophobia before it happens.

That's a nice way to look at it - I assumed it was because the player in question isn't famous and this approach would get more attention than just coming out.

 

[lolly]

Oh that's just entirely coincidental, I'm sure

 

[Halli]

I have never heard racism in a gay venue ever. Not that I frequent often these days.

 

[cwej]

There was a fairly big NBA player that came out as gay a few years back wasn't there? I mean... I heard that somewhere from someone who knows someone who knows something about sport.

 

[lolly]

 

[lolly]

I think we need a poll. What will happen first - the gay footballer comes out, the new ABBA tracks, or MKS release anything?

 

[Alla]

Sorry but this looks so fake, or just plain stupid. Who in their right mind would write all this shit on twitter instead of just coming out without such a show?

 

[Sheena]

Oh just FUCK OFF ALREADY.

 

[Halli]

oh BORE me LATER.

awful.

 

[cwej]

If it's not Ruben Loftus-Cheek then I'm not interested in the slightest.

 

[Diddy]

If it's not Ruben Loftus-Cheek then I'm not interested in the slightest.

Is that the Latin motto for Euroboyz.net?

[lolly]

BIG REVEAL WEDNESDAY

 

[Slave]

A good day to bury bad news, I don’t doubt the club will be thinking.

 

[Diddy]

Do you get anything for preordering? Where is the teaser? Very amateur 6/10

 

[octophone]

Worst Kickstarter ever.

 

[win_the_game]

What a load of old shit this was.

I’m not strong enough to do this. *deletes account*

 

[Diddy]

So this WAS like big reveal Friday

 

[lolly]

The poor brave gay man

 

[Sheena]

I can’t believe the BBC have bothered to report on it.

What a load of HORSESHIT.

 

[Iguana]

* massive eye roll *

 

[lolly]

He's clearly got the gay sense of melodrama nailed.

 

[D5K]

So instead of opening doors and being an inspiration, he's probably now made it slightly harder for others to come out.

If there's been a PR firm involved in this in any way they need to take a serious look at themselves.

 

[Sheena]

HE DOESN’T EXIST!

 

[Diddy]

A PR firm for WHAT?

 

[Alla]

This looked fake from the beginning.

 

[lolly]

They'll all be too busy at the PR PR person's awards dinner of the month lunch.

 

[Star]

What happened??

 

[Slave]

It’s MKS all over again

I’m a new @dUb

 

[big ron]

What happened? The twitter accounts been deleted and thats IT?

 

[Alla]

The Gay Pope reveal next.

 

[Rita]

What a piece of BLOODY NONSENSE.

 

[dUb]

Pathetic from the very beginning

I'm amazed it was picked up anywhere

 

[octophone]

Fake? Whoever did this is a cunt of the highest order.

 

[lolly]

He announced he wasn't strong enough or somesuch first.

 

[Jark]

The more I think about it the more it screams fake.

Any team involved in this would organise a press conference to announce it - the player wouldn't be going rogue on Twitter teasing things. That would make a leak more likely where in reality the club/management would want to control the story.

 

[big ron]

Yeah I think this is 'bants' that got out of control

 

[Dark Carnival]

massive

 

[octophone]

BBC still treating this like it was real. Look guys, you've got a lot worse to be embarrassed by than falling for a Twitter troll, let it go.
