What are they all so afraid of? If the ad campaign was against racism or drug or alcohol abuse in football there would be a long queue of them waiting to be associated with it. But because it tackles homophobia suddenly they are scared of being ‘ridiculed’?! How pathetic!!!! If they were real men (and confident with their sexuality, str8 or gay) they would have no problem appearing in the ad, regardless. Or are they more worried about their millions in endorsements they might lose if they do so. They should be ashamed of themselves. Players and supporters will only take this matter serious if the top players show their support. If they don’t, then why should anyone else?
I’ve seen the ad. It is quite disturbing to say the least. Will it not encourage rather than discourage people from using such vile terms, on or off the pitch?
