Where Are All the Gay Footballers?

On The Guardian’s sports blog, Portsmouth keeper David James speculates that by the law of averages there must be some gay footballers.

"No one's ever come out to me during my 18 years in football. But I must say I've seen and heard some strange things, remarks that could suggest someone is gay or bisexual. I've heard drunken footballers egging each other on to do certain things for a certain amount of money. Maybe it's routine stuff, part and parcel of what goes on in every pub team across the country, but it made me wonder why they would be talking about it if they were straight."
