Quote: "This is how much Gareth Thomas thinks this is banter.
“We went to Castleford last weekend and it was the first time I’ve had a negative reaction from a crowd. I was warming up and somebody shouted, ‘Thomas, you’re gay!’ and I felt like turning around and saying, ‘I f***ing know! I told the Daily Mail. Everybody in the UK knows that!’ Then a crowd started singing [obscene things about me] and I’m not going to lie and say it didn’t hurt, but how sad is that? How sad are people for doing that?
“And they couldn’t confront me. They stood in their thousands at the back of the crowd but would probably say nothing if I walked past them in the street. And that makes me feel stronger.”
There have been articles in the Yorkshire Post, YEP, Mail, Times, Sunday Times & League Express. Have a look at other RL forums, 99% of people think what went off as Cas was disgusting and the RFL as looking into this matter.
By the way, the rubbing of his head is nothing to do with his baldness. It’s an Ayatollah salute adapted by Cardiff City fans when the club was bought by Sam Hamman, Gareth Thomas is huge Cardiff City supporter and used this as a celebration before he went bald.
The club doesn’t need any negative publicity at this moment in time.'"
