Interesting points made on this forum. I hear that the racial abuse and abuse directed at players for alleged sexuality is shocking in the Premiership.
I am not gay or bi but I believe those people, including football players and US military people, have the right to be open about their sexuality provided they respect others` rights and do not engage in sexual harassment.
As for Roy being a so called `thug` who is getting his come uppance - that is simply a case of vendetta. Only yesterday I was reading 4 4 2 in a bookshop (I live in Japan and prices are so f- ridiculous. Eg about 23 oz dollars for that magazine so I don`t buy it nor do I buy the MU one) and John Fashanu was talking about how he tried to get Giggsy in a game.
Such admissions have been made by both now playing and retired professional footballers, so if an example is going to be made of Roy then it must be demanded of the FA that it go through every statement of every player, retired or otherwise, and bring them to book for the same charges now being levelled at Roy.
