Like Ozil would as well? Bale & Ozil are all that’s wrong with football yes I know it’s not their fault they got offered ridiculous obscene amounts of money and they took it who wouldn’t but you’d think or would like to think that whats happening in the world they’d have a think about normal people and what they are going through....but i don’t think so.
This story has been doing the rounds about Rakitic for a while, no real strong sources seem to be around though.
In an interview with Offside Mag, a Spanish sports website, the central midfielder - who was playing for Sevilla at the time - was asked about his thoughts on the decision of Fifa to fine then-president of the Croatian Football Federation, Vlatko Markovic, for comments he made saying that "in no way could a gay man play in the national team" and that "fortunately, football is only played by healthy people".
Asked to respond, Rakitic allegedly said that while he respects gay people, he would no more want them in his life than he would a black person, a fat person or a dwarf.
"I respect homosexuals, but I do not want those people in the locker room. I would not leave a team for that, because I respect a homosexual equal to a black, a fat or a dwarf, but if possible I prefer not to have gays in my life," he allegedly said.

The original magazine is still online, I checked it out to make sure there wasn't some wider context or that it hadn't been mis-translated.
There wasn't, it hadn't.
Cunt.

If Levy doesn’t sign a striker this window, then I think most fans will finally turn on him. You can’t go another season playing Harry Kane to the ground and risking the guys career.
I've got a fiddle , l can also pluck it up yonder brother.

He’s an absolutely horrible footballer. Talk about professionalism - goes for the pitch as well - pointless lunges, pens and red cards
Fingers crossed...
