OP’s pic had me!! Then R3’s lost me. Good Christ that’s a ‘mo. But good for him, must be difficult. Very brave.

When is a hot, reasonably-male-ish, uniquely gifted current pro athlete going to bless the world and come out? They must exist even if that combination of assets is rare.

And no, Nassib doesn’t count…he’s very male, but not hot (he looks almost special needs), and he’s of middling/forgettable gifts on the field.

R41 honestly, though, there’s so much more scrutiny and pressure on the Western lads, even if more positive than negative. There’s immense onus on whoever does stick their head over the parapet to act as a consistently good role model and uphold the gay community as well as their sport, which is something we know most footballers struggle to do at the best of times.

No disrespect, though—it takes immense courage for a young Czech man can decide to do this on his own steam with no national nor domestic backing or encouragement, and it does make you think, what excuse do the current international English, German, French, Spanish, Italian players and so on have? But the Wearwrn players are simply more famous and under the microscope.

R40 sadly, the Prem is becoming increasingly less likely to foster comings-out, as more and more clubs sell out to backers from UAE, China & America, who tend to be less secular and liberal, as well as happy to pull their sponsorship money at the first sign of offence to their values.

The major topflight clubs still owned by Brits number few—at the time of writing, only Brighton, Everton, Tottenham & West Ham. Those are the clubs most likely to protect, encourage and allow gay players to come out and be themselves.

If only we had more Euro billionaires as backers, like French & Spanish.

R82 I scrolled through the comments this morning. I'd say a majority of the negative ones are from trolls often posting multiple times. When you take these out and compare to the positive posts and overall post likes the negatives are a small minority. Most people ARE supportive or aren't really bothered.

by Anonymousreply 84February 16, 2023 12:05 PM

R84 yes, there’s mostly neutrality.

Even my lowkey homophobic Man United dad in his 60s just shrugged when he heard the news, said “fair enough if the lad can play [well], just keep it about the game and leave out the politics”, and left it at that. Tbh he’s more annoyed by the showpony flashy metrosexual players always seen clubbing or at fashion shows, the ones who dive and court attention (Dele, Grealish etc.), rather than hardworking laddy gay players.

Even the casuals don’t really give a shit about a gay player, that’s not of interest or note to them. A majority of straight men watch the football for the competitive event, for the glory of their team doing well (or the agony of their team doing badly), and to enjoy slagging off the opposition team. It’s not really often about individual players or private life drama for them.

by Anonymousreply 85February 16, 2023 12:11 PM

r81 The point is that companies getting on the LGB bandwagon via simple performative things like tweets aren't worth your tears. This isn't 2002 or something.

Many gay players may remain closeted because they grew up in the more conservative 90s and 2000s as athletes. The locker room will be very different vibe than the PR office. If we are talking soccer then these folks could have been pulled up from some poor or simply conservative areas that still look down on gay rights. Your childhood is baggage you don't just easily shake off because your job now openly supports gay employees. We will see more Gen-Z players come out compared to Millennial players.

Finally, I said being gay is good PR and I was referring to the companies. What's better for the players depends on the person. Being gay is good PR, being straight remains great PR.

The problem is not the trolls, but the fact that this guy is a nobody. I don't want to devalue his coming out, as it was obviously brave and he should be proud. But the thing is, there's a reason nobody has heard of him. He probably isn't a very good player. And by coming out he basically drew attention to his sexuality instead of letting his football talk for him. The ideal would be to have a popular, well known and top player coming out. Someone who is good, so his coming out wouldn't be just to get attention (even if that's not the case here, that's still how it comes across, it's a bit "I can't make it in football, so I want to be famous for being a gay footballer!") Don't get me wrong, it's a step in the right direction, but it's not the big player we all wanted to come out.

by Anonymousreply 89February 16, 2023 2:44 PM

Someone said he managed to score just 4 goals in 45 matches. Don't know if it's true, but it might be. There must be a reason why he's a nobody and why we hadn't heard of him before coming out. Also, there must be a reason Getafe didn't want him and he went on loan to Sparta Prague instead.

by Anonymousreply 93February 16, 2023 3:03 PM

Lots of people have an agenda to try and minimise the impact of any player coming out. Thing is if you don't know much about football and aren't really interested then you're going to have a long, long wait before a mega-star comes out, because statistically there are very few of them and the chances of one of them being gay are fairly smaller.

In the meantime, don't shit on a player who is active at international-level . This is a big step for football. No-one else at this level has stepped up and done this before in this sport.

by Anonymousreply 94February 16, 2023 3:27 PM

R94 what is even a mega star? Not that many players have the kind of name recognition as, say, Ozil or Giroud, never mind Messi. Is Ben Davies a star? I think if someone like TAA came out, it would be huge, even though he's not mega famous.

by Anonymousreply 95February 16, 2023 6:27 PM

You're, of course, naming players that have played in the English leagues, ergo you've heard about them. You'll find that there was loads of press about Jakub's coming out in Spain and Italy as that's where he'd played.

If he'd played in England - and he was considered for a transfer to Arsenal in 2017 - you would have heard of him. Give it up. You're just being a dick.

by Anonymousreply 96February 16, 2023 6:37 PM

What R85 said it's also another factor of why it's hard for some footballers (or any kind of professional athletes) to come out, whether they are superstars or not, and it's that foolish concept that has been going on in the last 10-15 years of marketing footballers in base of who they sleep with instead of their athletics skills/talents. And with social media that has increased considerably. Though Becks and Posh spice were tabloid sensations since the late 90s, I consider this tredn actually started in the 2010s when Shakira started dating Pique.

Make him national team Captain. Seriously. Not for tokenism or PR or woke points, but because he has leadership qualities, evident from this courageous decision and composed follow-through. That's who you want to represent your country.

The whole interview is here. You need to use google translate. Yikes at the questions about his ex-girlfriend which he refused to answer. I still don't get that at all. How could he cum inside of a woman if he's gay? I think he's probably bi instead of gay, but he now wants to be with men, so he came out.

R120 could he be a Kinsey 4/5, conceivably? Able to perform and get off with a female if horny/high/frustrated/young enough, but pretty much apathetic or uninterested if there are men available too, and not at all romantically drawn to one.

Lance Bass is this sort of bisexual, seemingly. By his own admission he has successfully had sex with a fair few women in the past, but all when he was in his teens/early-mid 20s, enjoying a wealthy partyboy popstar lifestyle.

Posho at r115, does he have a jersey we can buy?

I ask that because here in the States, most of our players have jerseys for sale and if they’re not famous to the point you can grab one off the rack, you can still have one made with their team jersey and they’ll add his number and name.

His past makes him less than an ideal gay poster child for football. The homophobes already think being gay is a choice. They all make fun of the fact that he has an ex-girlfriend.

by Anonymousreply 133February 18, 2023 7:56 AM

He said he didn't reach out to anyone for advice before coming out. That was probably wise because if he had they probably would have talked him out of it. He said it was his own decision and he just decided to do it.

R133 But the minds of homophobes won’t be changed anyway so if he had never touched a woman before they wouldn’t view him any differently.

by Anonymousreply 135February 18, 2023 8:08 AM

R130/R132 exactly, even if he is somewhat or a little bi (enough to get hard and cum in a vagina), by coming out like he has he’s making a choice to shut the door on any chance of a serious long term committed public relationship with a woman, so he must prefer men significantly.

If he was even a Kinsey 3/‘50-50’ bi in terms of preference (and many athletes & celebrities are, on the downlow), he’d just have stayed in the closet, carried on living a straight life publicly for the ease and status of it all, probably marrying and popping out a few kids before 30 like footballers tend to do, and keeping a few extra-marital gay dalliances secret like everyone else.

To have made this choice and announced it to the world, he must want men and want to be with one badly enough that he’ll give up the chance of getting a beautiful WAG.

About his ex-girlfriend: most men probably have the potential to be a little bit bi. No, not absolutely everyone, before the gold star gays come at me. But in some circumstances a man whose interests are mostly in men can have sex with a woman and vice versa.

Also, do you think that when the boomers die off we'll finally be free of the self-hating posters who insist on calling any newly out man 'she' and pronouncing him so obviously gay he could be seen from the moon based on his mannerisms? Newsflash, scrutinise the mannerisms of any man of whatever orientation and 90% of them will do something that looks stereotypical or gay in a certain light eventually, conventional masculine standards are very hard to live up to.

Jakub could have passed and lived his life in the closet but he chose not to, good for him.

Maybe there's a boyfriend in his future but personally? I hope there's a brief fling or one night stand we get to hear about. It'd be good to see an out gay athlete as a guy who just enjoys casual sex sometimes like the straight ones do.

After Google Translating the whole interview I like him even more now. He deliberately made this statement to encourage other players to come out. He expects some negative reactions and chants - the interviewer mentioned a particular homophobic song that gets sung in Czech football - and his intention is to be tough and just face it down and show it doesn't affect him at all. Yeah, I think he's going to be the guy that finally gets it done.

Does anybody have a definitive idea about this?

Getting back to the topic, as much as we'd like to see a superstar, if Jakub can stay strong and maintain his level, even if it's not that of a star, that would still be a humungous step forward, especially if/when he goes back to La Liga in Spain.

I agree with R145 that self loathing queens who start projecting their own issues on young, newly out gay man, bitching about his mannerism and imagined lack of manliness and proclaiming he must be a "woman" in bed because of a facial expression on a photo from when he was a boy, are obnoxious and unfunny.

Plus they are stupid. Not to offend anyone, but they were playing with dolls and then engaged in activities and interests that are percieved as feminine. So they have no idea what a level of manliness, focus, physicall strength and aggression it takes to become a successful football player. Sissies could not cope with that. This is different type of fag, the type that have always been out of radar, cause they used to be closeted in the past.

Footballers are not known to be physically stunning. Fit yes. But it’s mostly a bunch of little guys running around. Looks like middle schoolers on a field. And yes, I’m very familiar with most of the current pro and standout player stats. I know there are some stunners but they’re uncommon. Pique for instance, even Kimmich (on the shorter side). There are also the upper outliers, >6’3”. They might at as well be <5’8”.

Freakishly tall and amusingly short don’t stir most people, IRL. They’re only good for still pics, as long they’re not standing near a normal human male or a doorway or a car…something that gives perspective.

Soccer is like 30 years behind society in Spain.

What makes me hopeful is that Jakub received an standing ovation from the audience in his first match, and that's huge in Europe.

Of course there was a warm reception from some clubs and players but i suppse that has something to do with him being liked.

You have heard of this little studio called Bel Ami, right r240? For whatever reason, the Czech Republic tends to produce incredibly beautiful men. The language thing shows he's smart too. Yes, it may be a job requirement in international soccer, especially for someone who's not a superstar, but compare with MLB, where some Latin and Japanese players have interpreters for years after they arrive.

I do wish he'd address the girlfriend and kid he may or may not be supporting. Is he bisexual? Did he realize he was gay later in life? Was it peer pressure to hook up with a girl? As somebody who was slobbering over men's underwear ads when I was in grade school, this stuff fascinates me.

He's currently a nurse at Hospital Costa del Sol in Marbella, formerly worked in Madrid. Several photos of the two of them there during the pandemic.

Also, Lejaragga hasn't been hiding the relationship. They've been together at least two years, and he's showed up regularly in pics and videos put up by Rubén's friends. Also, I think we can assume team Marbella FC already knew, because they held a 30th birthday party for teammate, Clyde Essomba, back in February, and Alberto and Rubén were there, cozy on the couch. It would be Ruben's 30th birthday the following week, so maybe that's why he was given one of the big candles as well. Video:

Lejarreta story doesn't cause any buzz because he is completely unknown and his club is very far from profesional leagues.

I'm 311, I'd like to add that he was always on the bench because of some muscular problems, he's a good footballer and i hope he will come back to Sampdoria. Sampdoria fans love him and he comes back to Genoa every now and then to see some Sampdoria football matches.

by Anonymousreply 312May 20, 2023 6:25 PM

R311/R312 ah, thanks, that's useful context.

Injuries or physical issues for young promising footballers really are cruel and heartbreaking things; many a career has been curtailed, set back or even ended years prematurely by them coming at exactly the wrong moment. And there's almost nothing you can do to eliminate completely the possibility of it happening, only be as careful and diligent as you can when training and recovering.

Sampdoria have always been a well-respected team in eyes of EPL fans. Graeme Souness brought them to our attention when he transferred and played there in the early 1990s. and grew to love the team. The club legend Gianluca Vialli's early untimely death from cancer a few months back really hit Gra quite hard--he used to tease Gianluca's joking physical vanity by calling him 'Handsome'.

by Anonymousreply 317May 21, 2023 6:02 AM

R315 yes, thanks for mentioning that. He’s an interesting character, Gra, isn’t he? Bit of an enigma.

He was a brute on the pitch and for a long time was a hard cold nut in his professional relationships, until a series of health scares took him several steps back from the game. Even then, though it would seem he softened and opened up with time, and his coworkers ‘outted’ him as a soft touch behind closed doors, he still kept up a part of his prickly and critical and punishing persona to give punditry. It seems he feels he has a lot to protect and guard about himself, and that perhaps led to the unfortunate outcome of him walling himself inside a bitter carapace.

What’s more, back in his playing days he was frequently the target of press ridicule and scorn for his flash party lifestyle & outré fashion choices, unusual for English footballers of the time and more associated with ‘continental’ (European) metrosexuality, which you can imagine went down well with the beery laddy hooligan crowds. Souness earned the moniker ‘Champagne Charlie’.

Imo he certainly does have a question mark around his sexuality and has struggled with it for a long time. If nothing else, the adoring yet fraught player-manager relationship he has shared with Jamie Redknapp, his back then-beautiful young protege at Liverpool F.C. and then later at the punditry desk, is a big clue. Jamie has always seemed to want Graeme’s affection and good opinion, but also resents it and him in certain measure. They have a strange relationship for two coworkers, and perhaps it’s a reach, but I’ve always wondered if Graeme had some less platonic feeling for Jamie, who played on those feelings to get what he wanted.

R.e. Graeme's had past health scares, and he's looked more frail in the last couple of years, so it does seem likely there's something amiss behind-the-scenes and it's taking an emotional toll.

Well Paloma del Río, who is a very famous sports journalist in Spain (and came out as lesbian some years ago) worked in a documentary about sports and homosexuality to air during pride month. While there were athletes who collaborate like Marc Tur or Víctor Gutierrez, they didn't find anyone on soccer to speak.

Really? Wow, that seems extreme. You would think Spain of all places to be open-minded about this.

The last several years have seen English clubs encourage and even push straight players to speak out and proclaim allyship.

Italian sports press is reporting that team Cagliari Calcio (Sardinia) is working to add Jankto. This is from the team's Instagram page: wearecagliaricalcio

It's in Italian - using the translate feature here:

[quote] According to "La Gazzetta dello Sport", Cagliari is reportedly working with the Spanish club Getafe for a possible return to Italy of midfielder JAKUB JANKTO, a player that Mister Claudio Ranieri knows well having trained him a few years ago at Sampdoria. The transfer formula should be that of the loan with an obligation to redeem, conditional on the salvation of Cagliari in the next season of Serie A.

r381 It's not the old clinical word. It's the word, the objective current dictionary description.

Don't mind me. I just hate the word "gay" even though I use it. It sounds like I'm a giggly man and I'm not. I'm quite serious. "Gay" really is a slur and it's designed by heterosexuals who don't want to take is seriously.

by Anonymousreply 383August 21, 2023 8:14 PM

Not all foreign countries and/or languages use the word "gay." .. You'll hear it in Czech, but "homosexuál" would probably be used in more formal news and press reports like what Jankto was doing when he came out. Similarly, the common expression for someone saying that they're straight there is to say, "hetero," so more formally that would be reported "heterosexuál."

It's still surprising that no Premier League or even Championship players have come out as gay since Justin Fashanu in 1990.

When Fashanu's niece was researching a documentary on her uncle, she confirmed several existing football players had contacted her to confirm they were gay and gave her reasons why they can't/don't want to come out. Obviously she wasn't going to betray their confidence, but I got the impression they'd been advised by their clubs not to come out.

It just seems strange that, considering homosexuality is generally accepted in the West in 2023, but many football players still don't want to be open. And it doesn't need to be a massive declaration; just an acknowledgement. It would help others who are also struggling with their sexuality.
