If the player in question does prove to be gay, it will be a two minute wonder......the papers will talk about it and then everyone, including the player can get on with their lives. Personally I can't see what this guys sexual orientation has to do with his ability to play football. Whatever his problems are he is, at present suffering some emotional turmoil.....cut the chap some slack to deal with it.....his bosses have!
