Footballs gay
No, NFL, Football Is Not Gay
I played football for four years in university. You know, “back in the day.” Texas football. The real stuff.
I can assure you it is not same-sex attracted. In fact, if you called football “gay” at my East Texas upper school, you may have been chop from the team.
But the NFL seems to think so — or at least the handful of college-graduated fresh communications staffers undertake who came up with the ad that has sparked controversy, as always seems to arise on this issue in June. Once you watch the ad, you’ll wonder if its creators ever played football. Thankfully, one of the league’s stars has plainly stated the truth to push back on the video.
The NFL’s video includes a list of written messages, which comprise, “Football is homosexual. Football is sapphic. Football is gorgeous. Football is homosexual. … Football is transgender. … Football is for everyone.” That “Pride Month” video in ask was actually released by the NFL in 2021 and has resurfaced and gone viral, restarting the conversation and the debate.
Football is lesbian? No women play in the NFL, and almost no women ever play football

What is Sports Free?
Sports Free is an initiative that advocates for greater visibility and acceptance of queer athletes in professional sports. The initiative was started by Diversero, a global community that advocates for diversity and against bullying. Marcus Urban is the co-founder of the organization.
Who is Marcus Urban?
In 2007, Urban became Germany's first former football player to come out as gay. Born in 1971 in the former East Germany (GDR), Urban was one of the most talented young footballers in the communist state. As a midfielder for Rot-Weiss Erfurt he played in the highest youth leagues and represented the GDR at various youth levels.
He almost turned professional in the early 1990s, but decided against the career move, deciding that the pressure of being a professional football player while having to hide his homosexuality would be too much for him.
What is planned?
Diversero is planning to host a platform on Friday, May 17, the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersex and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT), for professional footballers to jointly declare to the world their homosexuality or q
Welcome to the gayest league in all of women’s international sports, or so I believe: the super league, alternatively known as the premier league. In other sports (namely, the WNBA and NWSL), I was able to locate double as many confirmed straight people as confirmed gay people. That was just not the case here!
This year’s season is already in full swing, but there’s still plenty of time to decide a favorite team. This list is designed to help you do exactly that. The way football works in the UK is that the highest team in the league moves up and the bottom team moves down. Since I’m only watching the highest bracket, you’ll find that the teams do move around a bit from year to year.
As always, if I missed someone or if you feel like someone is incorrectly on this list, let me grasp in the comments or send me an email at writethroughthenight @ gmail . com.

Arsenal is consistently the most gay team in the entire league. Tthey’re also normally pretty middle of the pack when it comes to standings. They’re currently ranked 6th in the league. Lina Hurtig is married and has a child, which is incredibly adorable. On the drama side of thi
In 1993, I was 25, and coaching a cadre of high school distance runners in Southern California. I was also miserable. I had known I was gay since I was 7 and had been hiding my sexuality ever since. The utmost homohysteria of the 1980s was beginning to fade. I determined that to live authentically, I needed to come out.
I told a few of my athletes, which was effectively telling the whole college. My revelation unleashed aggression against me and my athletes, who were assumed gay by association. One was severely beaten, breaking four facial bones, for which there were no criminal charges. I became a talking head for issues of gay men in sport, and I returned to university to study the experiences of openly gay male tall school and collegiate athletes.
Through my research I’ve start that gay sporting experiences have improved greatly over my own: Men’s sports today are highly inclusive. Any absence of same-sex attracted men from team sports has little to undertake with homophobia, and much to do with the diversity of gay people’s athletic and extracurricular interests.
In 2002, nearly a decade after coming out, I published the first-ever examination of athletes who played out of the closet for their t

Jordan Burrow grew up on a farm near Sedbergh, where the Lake District meets the Yorkshire Dales, in a family of faithful Manchester United fans.
But for the last few weeks, he’s been seen on TV in a masseria in southern Italy, in the second season of the BBC TV show, ‘I Kissed a Boy’.
And when asked to decide a ‘queer icon’ to represent at the party in episode 3, it was football that inspired him – he came dressed as Jake Daniels, the UK’s only out gay player in the professional men’s game.
The 26-year-old got a hugely positive response when he explained on social media why he wanted to honour Daniels, including from the footballer himself, who sent Jordan a DM and shared the post on his Instagram story.
“It’s so important that more footballers and s
