It looks too well written to me. Excellent spelling, punctuation and grammar. I am not saying that your average young footballer can't spell or write eruditely, but it does seem too well crafted. If it is genuine, then I think that it's likely that it has been put together by a PR individual, having taken the words of the player and put them into flowing English.
And if that is the case, that this player has had someone involved in PR generate their Tweet, then it seems very unlikely that they managed to do that on the same day as they spoke to their bosses and only a day after they came out. |

Now that I have read a few more of the Tweets and replies, this is clearly a well run PR account.

In contrast, there are other careers where being openly gay is no hindrance whatsoever.

I hope it is real, but may well be right. Had this happened 20 years ago, I think no one would notice the amount of gay players today.
Because it hasn't happened there is immense pressure on the first to openly come out. However I am confident than in the main they will get a positive reception.

Don't give a shit. Wouldn't make a difference to how I see the game.

Me too, when I come out as gay I don't expect it to alter my eyesight one little bit.

Sorry to be sceptical but whilst it might be real, it is clearly being very much stage managed. The line where he apparently asked his manager and chairman whether this news would affect his involvement in the team, sounded a bit weird to be honest. I mean what happens if it turned out to be the Championship equivalent of Jordon Mutch, and his club rightly jogged him on because he's shit at football? I can just imagine the Twitter outrage

Part of me wishes that he would have just played and lived an open gay lifestyle admitting and being true to himself rather than the hoopla circus, makes himself a target.....Good luck to the bloke obviously.
Just to add I would not care one iota if all the Palace players were gay if they bloody well kept us away from relegation and give us a cup ! In Fact I would not care anyways.

Seconded. And that applies to all footballers, at all clubs at all levels.

Seriously, does anyone give a shit anymore?
You have to be a very sad sack if you care about someone (whom you don't even know) sexuality. I'm amazed someone hasn't jumped on the commercial band waggon. Someone has the potential to rake in some cash off the back of it.

I did wonder after the Women’s World Cup where many were openly gay, that a male player may feel it’s the right time to do it.
It will be a great step forward but being totally cynical here, I think the motivation to be the ‘first’ in our game to come out lies probably as much with the prestige, fame and financial opportunities that will suddenly present themselves as educating our society to be more tolerant. People might want to say ‘who cares?’, but whoever comes out first will be remembered forever.
