| Couldn't care less TBH, good on him for it.
It's a sad state of affairs when a man feels he needs to hide this sort of thing. Be interesting to see his team mates reactions though, I'm sure publicly they'll be supportive but behind the scenes is a different matter.

| Coming out didn't seem to do Ian Roberts any harm, although it's a shame he felt the need to wait so long before doing so.
An interesting article from rlThe Independentrl would seem to suggest that it's not just the fear of colleagues'/fans' reaction but there may also be some encouragement from clubs, in order to preserve "their assets"

| Quote: ExiledFromHull "....if a current or former Hull FC great player decided to come out as being gay?
Gareth Thomas has just come out, and in his interview with the BBC he said that
[i"It's pretty tough for me being the only international rugby player prepared to break the taboo.
"Statistically I can't be the only one, but I'm not aware of any other gay player still in the game.[/i
It got me thinking that the same must apply in RL.
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?'"
I can think of a few players that were rumoured to be gay like Tim Wilby,Paul Eastwood but it was never proved.The only one i can remember playing who admitted he was gay was Ian Roberts of wigan.As long as you got the talent your gender should not be a issue in this day and age.

rlYOU MEAN THIS IAN ROBERTSrl.
Reading those articles it sounds as though he'd have been better staying in the closet.

| Wouldn't bother me at all, and I think its ridiculous that in 2009 there are no openly gay current footballers and rugby players. Statistically it just doesn't add up.

Does it really matter now, 30 years ago ok............................. but not now.

| Absolute truth here - I would defend any of our players to the hilt, BUT I would chuckle at any chants sung to any of the KR players etc.. C'est la vie.

Did he have to stop being gay when he left Bradford? Amazing the attention to detail that Wigan put into a contract.
