There are currently around 5000 professional footballers in Britain, but incredibly not one of them has come out publicly as gay. Amal Fashanu, niece of Jus…

there are no gay russian generals, no gay astronauts and no gay muslim
imams…..could it be that some occupations require normality….justin
fashanu committed suicide….what does that say?
she’s proud of her uncle.. Pity her dad is a complete Bell end and wasn’t
proud of his brother.
She is buff doh
The fella at 2:45 looks like he’s keeping a pineapple warm.
Her dad always brings up how black is hard. “What time is it dad?””i dont
know but its hard to be black” just shut up
Reality of this claim still as much in transit. Justine was a complete
gentleman who contended with life in a very stereo-type environment with
less available means of disapproval of a stigma and fighting to clear ones
own name and image. Justice spirit lives on and one day the circumstances
of his cut shot life will emerge. God bless his soul.
this girl deserves more credit tbh, she knows what she wants to achieve
plus she can also be tough when she needs to be. Hope she stays in this
kind of industry because she is pretty good at it.
It’s sad what happened I didn’t even know until my mum explained to me what
happened the fashanu family is very big my mum is Adenike fashanu justin
fashanu cousin so I’m his niece but it’s sad because he died before I was
born .
Hope one day a current player will ‘come out’ and be followed by others –
but as comments on here amongst others show, that day is a long way away.
Kudos to Joey Barton too for appearing in this documentary.
Why
It would be ideal that a person’s sexuality had no bearing on their
profession or vocation.
Hahahaha, this will be my last comment. The thing she said after the leeds
game about any player getting taunted by other fans. There is nothing wrong
with that either. Ask any player, they don’t mind. It’s part of the game
and the banter of it all.
“you didn’t specify fashion shows as a variable, you used it as a
generalisation of gay people and tried to parallel it with the idea of
football being an innately straight thing” – Ok, so you understand the
point i was making, about 2 different industries & their PARTICULAR
dominant cultural demographics, yes? So then why are you expanding that to
encompass “things” & “the world”? Your point about the world is not
pertinent, in fact it’s completely irrelevant to this discussion.
It’s not “gay” to exaggerate an injury in order to get a free kick or an
opponent booked. What is gay is inserting a penis in another mans backside.
I’m not hating on them. Two consenting adults can do whatever the fuck they
like as far as i’m concerned…..but i don’t have to approve of it. I’m not
saying they shouldn’t be allowed to play football, but i don’t think it’s
reasonable for them to expect a 99% heterosexual sport to not reflect the
culture of it’s dominant demographic.
I see your point and agree….BUT, if a homosexual player has to live a LIE
and pretend to be something they are not out of justified FEAR of being
reviled if they reveal who they REALLY are, thats a very sad situation to
be in. If a top name player came out as being gay, it wouldnt bother me in
the least….but it would many others.
Your uncle would be so very proud of you for this , I am sorry that your
father is still in denial , more power to your elbow GF xxx
You too my friend 🙂 hopefully will be happy and be able to be me in the
future will do all i can to help till then. Must fight on help or no help
🙂
“On and on and on? I made one comment.” – I made many points in my comments
relating to football culture & the general double standards of gay
lobbyists etc. Yet you choose to focus ALL of your ‘numbered points’ in
your “one comment” on the bits where i’ve made a cursory, quite obviously
tongue-in-cheek mention of a sexual act. That’s what i’m noticing.. Your
point is moot anyway, no matter what the actual “act” is, the point is it’s
with another man, which is what we find repellent.
“Because you seemed to think that there is some sort of equality in
football being “straight” and fashion shows being “gay” – Well if you want
everything to be sexuality-neutral then you want something which is
unrealistic The fact remains that gay ppl are ALLOWED to have their own
sexuality-specific sectors sport (“gay games” etc) AND ON TOP OF THAT you
want ‘mainstream’ heterosexual sport to change to be more accepting of gays
as well?
Hey Danny fight goes on! I commented to you 3 months ago with regards to me
working in football whilst in the closet and soul searching. Since then I
found the strength, courage and maybe stupidity to come out at my work with
a you tube video accompanied by a serious email. Came back to applause and
acceptance. Thanks for uploading these sort of videos helped me find
strength along with a lot of support from friends Now looking to push
things & raise awareness! Thanks Dan. A lot happier Tim X
Amal is fucking gorgeous!!! As a football fan from the States, I’d never
heard of Justin, but here’s to hoping more active professional athletes
follow Jason Collin’s example.
ALL HAIL FOR ROBBIE ROGERS
“And of course you don’t go telling people to make things more
“straight-friendly”; the world is straight-friendly already” – Since when
did my, specifically-mentioned-for-the-purpose-of-the-point-i-was-making,
variables of “fashion shows” & “football”, expand to mean “the world” &
“things”? You really must stop building this field of strawmen..
Was she in skins?
This is tremendous Amal good job with making the documentary to understand
the tragic death of your uncle.
As usual with narcissistic gay lobbyists like you alex, your only problem
with my comments seems to be with the fact that i dared not to say
something nice about homosexuality. We don’t go to your fashion shows
telling you to make it more “straight-friendly” do we. And as for “you
don’t like homosexuality therefore you’re secretly ghey!” This old
chestnut? Really? Whenever i see that vapid attempt at reverse psycology
that’s when i know i’m not exactly dealing with an intellectual powerhouse.
fucking LOL at “stand up if you can’t sit down”… Terrace banter >>__
Thanks for uploading these videos Danny. i work in football and am gay n
this wants me to fight on.
‘with all fans singing and shouting all the way through’ Um, yeah….it’s
fucking football you moron…
