Never understood why homophobia is classed as wrong (and rightly so), but if it’s part of your **** (religion), then it’s deemed acceptable.Fair play to the lad. It's a brave move.
Isn't he's a practicing muslim?
Why should he be punished for not wanting to support something that might conflict with his own belief system?
I always find this so funny. Some guys can simply see something about LGBT or a gay person coming out and be like ‘I don’t want to think about two guys sucking the cum off each other’s dick’ and it’s like…why are you so descriptive for something you supposedly can’t stand, especially when no one even mentioned anything about thatThere was a few like that and I went on a bit of a reporting spree but it's overwhelmingly supportive. I always find it funny that some homophobes are so obsessed with gay sex. When I hear someone is gay I don't think about what their genitals are doing at all but judging by some of those tweets some of them think about to an unhealthy degree for a supposed straight man. It does make you wonder.
The vast majority of homophobia in this country (and also in football) is because of toxic masculinity rather than religion.Never understood why homophobia is classed as wrong (and rightly so), but if it’s part of your **** (religion), then it’s deemed acceptable.
Wasn’t Justin Fashanu the first?I wonder if this will lead to a flurry of players coming out.
I hope/expect the reaction to be positive and ease others' trepidations. They are probably others who want to come out, but were reluctant to be the first.
I have high hopes for this generation; they seem far more open-minded than previous ones. I only wish I could've felt this comfortable coming out back in the day, and that wasn't to millions of people!The most amazing thing about this is how young he is. That’s younger than a lot of people feel able to come out to their own family. Never mind such an open (and potentially hostile) forum. Plus his career is barely started. So must be all the more tempting to keep his head down. He’s a hero for doing this.
Bizarre isn’t it. We’re in 2022 and this is huge. It really should be a non issue.Fair play to him. It's not easy being the first to do something like this. Hopefully it's a non issue, there's little reaction and we can move on to a time where footballers are free to open about who they are and who they love.
Any stats to back that up?The vast majority of homophobia in this country (and also in football) is because of toxic masculinity rather than religion.
A fairly good chance, I hope.What are the odds of him getting special sponsorship deals because of this?

Yeah but there are thousands of individuals associated with Newcastle Football Club that support the sentiments in this tweet. It'd be no different from United sending out this tweet if one of the Glazers was a homophobe.
But Newcastle isn't owned by the state
I find your post completely contradictory.Fair play to the lad and all the best to him hopefully he can move forward and his career will thrive but not to be negative he’s not high profile enough.
I Don’t think this will have any effect whatsoever in making others come out, it will likely be forgot about in a few weeks too seen as though the season is all but ended. It’s got people taking right now but see where we are in a months time.
Sportswashing at its finest.Oh my god. That really is shameless.
Regardless of your religion, there should be an absolute minimum requirement for participation in society to not discriminate against anyone based on their sexual orientation. Beyond that, it becomes a freedom of speech issue trying to compel someone to say or wear something they just don't to be associated with.Never understood why homophobia is classed as wrong (and rightly so), but if it’s part of your **** (religion), then it’s deemed acceptable.
Eh?It'd be no different from United sending out this tweet if one of the Glazers was a homophobe.
Yeah but the Glazers aren't part of the American government. Newcastle is effictively owned by a state that punishes homosexuality severelyYeah but there are thousands of individuals associated with Newcastle Football Club that support the sentiments in this tweet.

To be honest this was one of my first thoughts too.I notice he stated he has scored 30 goals this season I assume for the youth team.
Wonder if he is worth making a bid for
I find your post completely contradictory.
If it passes without major kickback and is forgotten about quickly, that would be huge and you can be sure it will have an impact and will convince others it's safe to come out.
Beyond the point of sending gotcha online zingers, not really. The ownership of the club is irrelevant to the football club standing with this young footballer.Eh?
It's slightly different, I'd say.
Irrelevant to the football club and associated community providing support to a brave young footballer.Yeah but the Glazers aren't part of the American government. Newcastle is effictively owned by a state that punishes homosexuality severely
I fail to see how it won't have an impact. At the very least, it's another step towards normalising it.I don't see it that way, my point was he's too low profile as a player much like the aussie guy that came out. He did it and it was talked about for a couple of days then you’ve heard nothing since.
Like I said I wish him all the best and applaud him for going public but I'm almost certain it will change nothing in the grand scheme of things.
But that's what we want. Gradual acceptance to the point that even if a big profile name comes out we're all like "good for you" and we hear nothing negative since then. The end goal is to have a society where being gay openly is like breathing fresh air. No negative connotations or fear of any negative reactions from dickheads. Just benign acceptance.I don't see it that way, my point was he's too low profile as a player much like the aussie guy that came out.

The owners of Manchester United may or may not be homophobic but they aren't a state. They don't make or uphold laws.The ownership of the club is irrelevant to the football club standing with this young footballer.
Yeah, I’m not that old (or so I like to think!) and grew up in a school environment where full on, explicit homophobia was the norm. Not one kid in my school came out until long after they’d left. My own kids are light years more enlightened than I was at their age. The difference is astonishing (and heartening)I have high hopes for this generation; they seem far more open-minded than previous ones. I only wish I could've felt this comfortable coming out back in the day, and that wasn't to millions of people!
