Soccer Writer Worried About 'Too Much Gayness'?

Is soccer "journalist" Martin Samuel poking fun at homophobia, or part of the problem? He writes in the Daily Mail:

The straight establishment wants a pet gay project only for their benefit. They want the unique selling point of football’s first gay icon to be marketed and exploited to the full. If 30 footballers came out as gay as one in a massive show of communal pride, it would be a disaster. Too much gayness. A flooded market. What are we going to do with all these queens? It is the lone gay that is sought, the saleable gay, the memorable face of the gay game and, by definition, of our marvellous, tolerant football community, too. It’s still all about us really. That and the money.

Samuel is the same guy who once fantasized about Joey Barton being gay -- and the Football Geezer isn't buying what Samuel's selling.

Robbie Rogers Covers OUT

Adorable Robbie Rogers covers OUT magazine. The only way this could be more exciting is if soccer weren't somehow more tedious than baseball! The soccer stud tells the mag: “I didn’t want to be one of those people who are always unhappy and don’t try to change anything.” Read HERE.
