Jake Daniels, the UK's only openly gay active male professional footballer, speaks about his mental health, Jordan Henderson and the 18 months since coming out.
Horrible take. Surely the conclusion should be that when athletes get involved in social causes, they shouldn’t completely betray them. It’s not that hard an ask.
Just goes to show pro athletes should not get involved with causes like this.
Loads of players have gone to Saudi and Henderson takes as much flack as the rest of them put together.
If he keeps his mouth shut and doesn’t get involved with LBGT causes he would have been just another player getting a massive end of career payday.

FR. It’s good that they want to stand for things and use their platform for good if that feels right for them.
Obviously then people want you to stick to it if not it looks like all they were doing is virtue signalling / PR image curation.
It’s the same thing as the person above said.
His interview just made matters worse. He’s a dumb, deluded egocentric.
