He no longer needs to hide the fact.

You're right, it's not really News worthy.

Your average tabloid would certainly disagree.

Given the neanderthal attitudes of many football supporters I suspect he will get a lot of stick from fans of opposing teams next season, all in the name of harmless "bantz".
I will be happy to be proved wrong.

Prepare to be disappointed.

Got a lot of admiration for Jake Daniels. Football can be viciously homophobic at all levels, and not just by fans of the game. A brave move by the young man and from what I've read he's strong enough to take the abuse which will inevitably head his way.

After the first few words I thought, 'hang on, him being a Jock and everything, isn't that being disloyal?' but then read it again and went, 'Oh, JAKE Daniels!' Everything was clear after that!

Of course it's newsworthy. Jake Daniels has come out as a young playing professional footballer. This is something to be celebrated and will hopefully lead to more professional footballers, and others, to feel safe to come out.

Agree, which bit specifically though the fact he's gay or that he needs to tell everybody?

I meant it's pretty sad that its such a big deal to be "openly gay" in football....is he brave for coming out so to speak ? I think most would think so,Hopefully it eases the way slightly for others to feel easier/more comfortable about it.In my kids age group 17 and 18 it's no big thing.Shame everyone else hasn't moved on.

So it IS newsworthy or it ISN'T newsworthy?

Fecking ridiculous really that it's even newsworthy.

Of course it's newsworthy. Only one English professional football has previously come out. Ever. He was exploited by the tabloids, disowned by his peanut brother, and committed suicide. When young men in football feel safe for to come out, it will no longer be newsworthy.

FFS if we can't get rid of the swear filter, can we please choose our own alternatives?? That peanut thing really pisses me off.

So it IS newsworthy or it ISN'T newsworthy?

The two quotes were not mutually exclusive.

HTH.

Yeah, I only eat haggis, porridge and deep fried mars bars. Nothing but Talisker and Irn Bru crosses my lips when I fancy a beverage.

It's newsworthy, but it shouldn't have to be. HTH.

I have one a week. But my crippling addiction to their Caramel Wafers is unstoppable.
