You spend most of your time posting about male actors sweating up against each other while dressed in ill fitting spandex.

I don't think you're in any position to play judge and jury here.

No I dont

Retraction please

Well it's where you made a name for yourself so my apologies if your reputation gives that impression.

You do enjoy the aforementioned pantomime sport though so I'm not incorrect.

What if I did (I dont that much anymore unless it gets good reviews) why the homophobia you cant tell me soccer is 100% masculine either. Quite sad people thanked your post too. Id rather watch sports where some are out than a sport were people are too scared because knuckle draggers like you wont accept them.

Seriously is this the best you can do all because I said midfield is unneccessary.

Soccer as some would call it, is one of the only sports on this planet I absolutely despise and for the following reason.

That video does nothing for the integrity of either sport tbh. And just because rugby players are harder and like to scrap it doesn't make the sport any better. I actually can't see what the point of posting that video was. If you want that kind of entertainment watch UFC

Ah when are people going to learn that football and politics or social issues are not the same thing. It's a sport. And like all sports some people enjoy it and some people don't. Excuse your dislike for the beautiful game by admitting you just don't like it, or think it's a useless endeavor or that it just plain bores you. Saying you don't like it because there are no prolific gay figures in the sport is a bit ridiculous IMO.

Personally I love the WC. It's a fantastic month of football and I've been looking forward to it for ages. Three games today, lots of beers and some banter and bets with the family. Can't go wrong really.

No one said they did, it is just a reflection of it's fans.

How is it a reflection of the sport's fans? You're in serious generalisation territory now. You can't judge an entire sport and its fans purely on the opinions and the actions of a few.

Really not sure what that has to do with the price of tea in china.

Again, obvious.........

I'm not dodging anything mate. Just fail to see a question of merit there in the first place.

Let me ask you a question.

How many oranges could a man with only 9 fingers juggle on the moon whilst standing on one leg?

Yes when I younger.

Are you implying that TV stations pipe in homophobic chants?

Which is no different to the way I judged your interest in wrestling.

Hypocrite much?

You are dodging the as it is too inconvient to answer.

As both seem about as relevant to the subject as the other, i'll answer your question when you answer mine.

Course it does. You accused me of being a homophobe because I made assumptions about you and wrestling.

You have just made assumptions about every football fan.

How did you draw that conclusion?

Once again I reiterate that you are judging an entire sport and its fan base based solely on the carry on of a handful of miscreants. This is unfair. Would you judge the entire sport of golf based on the actions of Tiger Woods? Assume that every golfer is a hooker-lovin' cheating scumbag?

I take offense to being called a "knuckle dragger" just because I love football. It's an assumption on your part and a nasty stereotype too.

Charlie doesn't have to answer your question because it has absolutely nothing to do with the discussion at hand. Football is a GAME. A SPORT. Not a platform to advocate gay rights. If you ask me I think you need to get over yourself, being so sensitive could be detrimental to your health.

No I didnt

You made homophobic slurs against me.

Explain to me why there isnt if any out players in the premiership?

I'm trying to get an honest answer to a valid question raised on the subject at hand.

Can you be kind enough to answer it please.

I'm not in a position to do that since I have no insight into any of the players' personal lives. Why? Because I don't care. I pay money to watch them play FOOTBALL. What they do off the pitch is their business.

You're stuck on this point for some reason. If you want to hate football because there are no "out" Premiership players that's your prerogative. I'm not going to stick around and argue a moot point with you. The first game of the day is starting.

That would be all fine if there hasnt been a history of homophobic chants by fans. Whether it be Graeme LaSaux to Ashley Cole.

You havent been paying attention if you think this why I hate football.

So just the ones that attend games?

A generalisation is a generalisation.

Did I say everyone who attended games? No

Take your homophobic remarks and your generalisation straw men elsewhere.
