Player Discusses Homophobia in the Sport
Former British soccer player Paul Elliott recently claimed at a forum against homophobia that he knew of 12 top professional players who were gay but could not come out of the closet because of the wide antigay feeling in that sport. The former Chelsea defender explained that he felt a lot of sympathy for those players because, as a nonwhite man, he could understand what being the subject of virulent discrimination felt like.
