It's also not fair having to tell the public about your sexual life.
It's none of anyone's business.

I absolutely agree that no one should be forced to tell people anything about their lives that they don't want to.

But being open about who you love (or bonk) isn't really about telling people how you like to touch junk with others. it's about not having to actively conceal your relationships and your identity.

Pendles doesn't go into detail about his sex life with his missus, but nor does he have to pretend that his beautiful wife Alex doesn't exist. They post on social media all the time. They attend the Brownlow hand in hand. A gay player can't do any of that without saying yep, I'm gay.

I don't blame anyone for not wanting to be "the first". It took the toughest man I've ever seen play sport in Ian Roberts to be brave enough to come out in the NRL. Similar intestinal fortitude will be needed in our code.

I reckon if one of our boys came out, Fly and the group would be incredibly supportive of him. It's all the external stuff that's the problem. I suspect that most people don't want to be a spokesperson, they just want to get on with their lives.

Geelong definitely don't have a salary cap.
This Geelong lifestyle bullshit they go on about? What is it? Ive been there many times and I'm not seeing it yet. Its some serious Willy Wonka mystery. Not big enough to be a decent city and not small enough to be quiet and relaxing. They are geniuses selling the shithole as a paradise. The government hate it that much they made a road around it to save everyone. Jamarra next probably and if Harley Reid lobs there we need to declare war on them
 
Exactly mate. But at the same time i think they want to not have to hide and tip toe around it so want it in the open. Im speaking out of turn here obviously but I hope someone does it soon, gets the kudos and they and all the other gay men in the AFL dont have to think they need to hide anything. I think its my word salad way of saying im confident the support and admiration would be massive

Heard Players know some that are Gay but don't talk publicly about it
