    BBC iPlayer - Britain's Gay Footballers

    An interesting programme to watch, I am not sure if anyone from outside of the UK can see it but if you can find a UK proxy I am sure it'll work.

    It is interesting to see the different reactions in there and has got me thinking would you come out if you were a professional football player? I can take the odd comment every now and then but I don't think I could have hundreds of fans shouting homophobic abuse. It annoys me nothing is being done to stop it!

    I really enjoyed it. It was so sad :frowning2: But what she was saying was true (spoiler alert!) The football industry needs to change, faster than it's currently doing because it's getting ridiculous!

    I would guess that I'd stay in the closet if I were a footballer until retirement, it seems too messy not to.

    I thought the documentary had an okay premise, but the interviews and such were quite shoddy. I was left wishing that there were more grilling questions asked.
