    Did I just imagine a Harry Enfield sketch where Arsenal were all gay? Can't find it online.

    Yea think your right. I reckon most of these accusations are based on upon chants from opposition fans. I love the logic behing the Grame Le Saux claims, ''Well if he dosent read the tabloids then he must have the ghey...'

    I think the fact Le Saux is well spoken contributed to the gay accusations.He didn't speak like 'one of the boys' !

    hmmm, i dunno, i would think there are very few players at the high level, that are gay. i am probably making a sweeping generalisation here, but playing football is not something most gays do.

    i of course be wrong on that, but every person i know who is gay, doesnt even follow football, let alone play it.

    wtf? i actually didn't believe people really still thought things like this?

    There is likely at least 30 gay footballers in the premier league but they can't come out due to the stigma attached in football.

    As noted above footballers can't be seen reading a broadsheet newspaper or a book without being outed as 'gay' and having to live with terrace chants for years about it.

    I hate all the nonsense speculation from fans about opposition players' sexuality, as if being gay was even something deserving of slagging. It's just another sign of the pervasive homophobia in society.

    Really?

    Is this the level of discussion we're dropping too at this stage, there has to be something slightly better to discuss surely? Who cares, straight, gay, confussed, likes being tied up and caned, as long as they turn up and play for the team at the weekend do any of us really care what they get up to?

    I would be beyond shocked if there weren't a number of gay professional footballers in England and everywhere else. I've played on teams were some of the players were gay, and I've played against a team where they are all gay, doesn't make a blind bit of difference to Soccer.

    Now if someone wants to actually have a serious conversation on this, around the perceived stigma and homophobia that may exist in professional sports I suggest you try the humanities forum.
