Jake Daniels (Blackpool) comes out as gay

[Tucker]

It’s worth remembering that homosexuality is still illegal in Senegal, so that likely informs someone’s sensibilities, no matter how backwards and oppressive we all think it is. We don’t know what kind of backlash the likes of Gueye are getting at home for appearing to be supporting these kind of causes. It’s not really for us to force people to be campaigning for something.

I can see why people would be annoyed and hurt by the decision though, and there’s something very archaic about people like Sarr tweeting that Gueye is a “real man” for not wearing the shirt.

On the other side of the coin, there’s something deeply hypocritical about Qatar owned PSG wearing rainbow symbols in the first place, just as that tweet from Newcastle on the previous page is.

Ah I was wondering where the good old SC arguing had got to.

As you were!

Exactly.

The Qataris who own PSG turn a blind eye to the monstrosities that happen there but are happy to punish a player for something far less.

Everything is backward.

Good points. Plus, I’d imagine that Gueye is possibly protecting family members back home… I’ve heard some abhorrent stories of how folk affiliated with gay rights have been treated in Senegal … felt Viera handled it well from the press stuff cited
