If he was to, fair play. It would probably shutdown a load of outdated prejudices. Sure he's been called far worse in his time anyway and he would have the ego to deal with it already.

Worst article EVER
I know what you mean. The Syrians must be on tenterhooks.
Honestly who gives a flying fuck.
I have realised that in the past I chanted homophobic abuse at apposing players and now regret it. basically I was the dick.
A world where a famous footballer comes out is as remarkable as a soap actor would be ideal.

^ I couldn't care less either, but let's not pretend it won't be a very big deal if/when the truth emerges.
It's beyond doubt that plenty of professional footballers feel obliged to live a lie in terms of their sexuality, which they wouldn't have to if they weren't terrified of the negative impact (on the pitch, off it, and commercially) of coming out.
It's a tragedy, really. If the biggest name of all was outed as gay it might make his own life extremely awkward for a while, but I'm betting it would prove a tipping point that drew an awful lot of others gratefully out of the closet.

Bang on. I don't think a player of, say, Exeter city coming out as gay would really change much in the world, but a genuine footballing superstar would make a big difference.
Assuming the documents (emails from his lawyers IIRC) that spiegel got a hold of are true, the whole thing is pretty damning. Wonder if he can still be prosecuted for it.
Its true thenOh god.
Oh god.
Very strange move by the club, could blow up in their face if he gets done for it.
Seems slightly odd to me that all of these stories have only materialized after he's left Real Madrid
Any chance they were somehow suppressing them or knew they were coming?
