Soccer (Closing)@soccer.forum•Jordan Henderson's Saudi Arabia move felt like a "slap in the face" following his support of the LGBTQ+ community, says UK's only openly gay active male professional footballer Jake DanielsEnglish
1·2 years agoIt is, but I still think the fact he’s the only one, and barely a pro, and the last one killed himself over it before I was even born, is a huge problem. As in a how tf are we throwing a high horse over this, level of huge.
If I was the “Saudi PR team” I’d be chucking the bag and another bag but gold-plated at this bloke, manage to sign him and it’s suddenly 🇸🇦1-0🏴 for openly-gay pro players in the leagues.

Kind of agree, but feel like that problem goes away once a handful have come out.
It’s a double-edge sword, in order to truly live as a gay player without anyone caring, a few are gonna have to go through being one and ppl caring about it.
