        but surely sometimes you've got to consider yourself in these situations? Football in the UK is so full of hate and bigotry, he would be extremely brave in coming out. I don't think many people would be able to cope with the abuse and not come out of it mentally damaged.

        The hate he faced was probably more than he expected. I don't blame him at all. Saying these words are hard for people not in the public eye, so I can't imagine coming out to the Press, & teammates/fans with so much Toxic Masculinity.

        He has to do what is best for him and no one else.

        In such a sport and in a society where Homophobic attacks are now double what they were 4 years ago, I can’t really blame him. I just wish he hadn’t started telling everyone he would!

        It was an attention seeking, hype building stunt. I was blocked by him just for suggesting that he should procrastinate in private and only come out when he was ready.

        This is a shame, but as a football fan myself, I can imagine the difficulty he's having. Stand among other football supporters on any match day. I imagine that it would be incredibly brave to come out to people whose world view is summarised by the opening credits of Dad's Army.

        Precisely this! The world of football isn't very accepting of the queer world.
