Thomas Hitzelsperger

Recommended Posts

I'm not aware of any that have come out, but statistics suggest we've had a few players who were gay on our bookes. I'd like to think that just as it would be quite extraordinary for any of us to give a black footballer grief on account of his skin colour, the same would hold true of a person's sexuality.

I reckon it's all a big lie, I mean how can he not like girls.

 

Reckon you're right, really can't understand why he didn't claim something a little more plausible though.

Thought it was interesting that Thomas Hitsleburger has come out as gay (or at least bi-sexual). I wondered if any former or current city players had come out. While not agreeing with his lifestyle choices (how can he not like girls?), he certainly is brave to do it. Thoughts?

Yeah whats it matter to any of us.

 

He should not even have to do this.

He's broken no laws so whats the problem?

 

As for any of our players the above stands I don't care what they do away from the club.

long as they are fit and ready for the game they should be supported.

Bit gay,

Have a lot of respect for the guy, it must have taken a hell of a lot of courage to tell not only his family but the public that he did indeed once play for West Ham.

I just think this is plain stupid. I'm pretty sure I haven't got the wrong end of the stick here. It appears you're saying this won't have any effect. I know it isn't exaclty the same and I keep mentioning racisim but it is a similar issue, only 50 years previous. If nobody tries to make any progress then no, obviously things aren't going to change.

 

 

It's the same argument as I'm using in the world cup thread about FA's boycotting FIFA. If nobody has the balls to do anything, to make change happening then of course this will remain the status quo. I'm not saying he's going to change anything but he is the highest profile footballer to come out yet. It is a step in the right direction and if a high profile player who is still playincg comes out in the next few years I have no doubt they will have taken inspiration from Hitzelsperger.

Will people not take a lot more inspiration from Hitzelsperger if he came out whilst playing, rather than waiting until retirement?

I wish Knockaert was gay!
