Is Football Ready for a Gay Player to Come Out?
The article discusses the absence of openly gay footballers in Britain's top leagues and the attitudes of fans and authorities towards LGBTQ+ individuals in the sport. Despite a BBC survey indicating that the majority of UK sports fans are comfortable with gay players, Football Association chairman Greg Clarke believes top-level football isn't ready for a player to come out. However, the number of LGBT supporters groups, such as Pride in Football, Gay Gooners, Proud Canaries, and Rainbow Toffees, has grown, showing a shift in fan attitudes. The article includes personal experiences from members of these groups, highlighting the challenges they face, including homophobia at games and online. The groups aim to create a welcoming environment in clubs and advocate for the acceptance of gay players, with the hope that the football community will become more inclusive.

Footballers' Covid tests on the day of matches are SCRAPPED for the EFL's 72 clubs
The EFL has stopped Covid tests on matchdays to prevent last-minute game postponements, despite concerns from public health experts. The decision was made after late cancellations angered fans and concerned clubs. Testing will now occur only if players show symptoms, with daily tests on non-matchdays. The EFL believes its protocols will reduce transmission risk. However, Dr. Julian Tang criticized the move, suggesting it could lead to more cancellations if the virus penetrates team bubbles. The Premier League, which tests players nine times a week, is not affected by this change.
