Not at all,
kids look up to the players for being sportsmen. "

In Hull most RL players are perceived as being role models for kids. Would the fact they are gay alter your opinion of what kind of example they were setting as a role model within the community and especially what message they were sending your kids?

Would you think it matters at all in this day and age?'"

Interesting we are asking if the issue of being Gay is a problem for being a role model to kids but a lot of people aren't bothered about having criminals in the team.

Probably, in fact it would likely have the effect of raising my admiration for them for having the guts to admit it.

The season can't start soon enough.

Well said.....gay ?, racist scum ?, or violent d*ckhe*d ?..no brainer really.

Not sure why some people find Gay role models a problem to kids, it is not the kids who have the issues, it is generally their parents, homophopic behaviour is not innate, it is taught by the role models, often parents

Indeed.

It's a sad situation when the question even needs asking TBH. Anyone who has a problem with this 'issue' really does need to take a look at themselves.

But aren't you concerned about the example this sets to the children? I mean, everybody knows that if your childhood idol is gay you automatically grow up to be gay yourself. It's just not right. They should keep it to themselves or give up their careers as professional sportsmen and become go-go dancers.

Before this goes any further I am ending it now.

Like Kosh said, the question should not even need to be asked!
