@awesome
They were all from the same IP address, so unless eight of you were huddled around the same computer, taking turns to write comments to one another, we felt they were more than a little spammy. Thanks!

Yeah – and who can forget all the hoopla about the Scholes/Neville kiss? Although not meant as homosexual, it ruffled a LOT of feathers.

@goosie – you’re correct for that link. But if I can dig it out, I saw another story that Ballack himself hinted along the same thing post WC. Should we hold him guilty by association? go figure….

MW: It was Ballack’s agent not Ballack himself who made that comment.

Privileged babies with little education aren’t the most open minded people.

Whether fans may be accepting or not, footballers themselves are still intertwined with the sexuality conflict.
Zatlan had to work hard to insult everyone to play this down. http://www.blackbookmag.com/article/barcelona-star-offers-to-quell-gay-rumors-with-reporter-and-sister/18557

It seems to be the fans could be more accepting of the situation than the players.
