Can I just ask - why is it that, if a footballer is gay, it should have any bearing whatsoever on his work? So what? What exactly is the difference between someone being gay, or someone being black, or left-footed, or whatever?

Again, I think that, if the NotW has a 'dossier' that they claim will out Sol Campbell as homosexual, what bloody difference does it make? Does it affect his ability as a footballer? Of course it doesn't! Quite frankly, I don't even see it as being a newsworthy story - so a footballer allegedly doesn't come out as being gay? I'd suggest that this would have more to do with the prevalent attitude within the game, and within sections of the fans. What business of anyone's is it, other than that footballer?
