OK, I didn't realise being gay would be a "inhibitor "Nope, because there are strong rumours of one or two PL players having had gay encounters. And I will not divulge who.
I think if a footballer had come out as gay and the reaction was really negative, then I think it would be an inhibitor. I also think that it would be more difficult in the current climate than maybe 18 months ago.
The temperature around the acceptance of diversity has definitely moved to a cooler setting.
I can only imagine that only affects all the backward bellend homophobic cunts
