On January 29, 2023, Jakub Jankto, a professional soccer player for the Czech Republic national team, became one of the few active players in the sport to publicly come out as gay. Jankto made the announcement in a heartfelt Instagram post, in which he thanked his family and friends for their support and expressed hope that his coming out would inspire others to be true to themselves.

Jankto’s decision to come out is significant for several reasons. For one, it highlights the ongoing struggle for acceptance and inclusion of LGBT individuals in sports, where homophobia and discrimination remain all too common. By being open about his sexuality, Jankto is helping to challenge stereotypes and break down barriers, paving the way for others to follow in his footsteps.

Moreover, Jankto’s coming out is a reminder of the courage and resilience required to be true to oneself in a world that can be hostile to difference. In his Instagram post, Jankto acknowledged the difficulties of living in the closet, saying that “for a long time, I was afraid to tell the truth about who I am.” By sharing his story, Jankto is showing that it’s possible to overcome fear and shame and find the strength to live authentically.

Gay Soccer Star Robbie Rogers Blasts FIFA for Holding World Cup In Anti-Gay Countries. Why Hasn’t HRC or GLAAD?

Mexico v United States

 

Openly gay LA Galaxy soccer  star Robbie Rogers blasted the FIFA for on Thursday for their decision to hold the 2018 and 2022 World Cups in the rabidly anti-gay countries of Russia and Qatar, while HRC and GLAAD have remained silent on the issue.

“I would never pressure anyone into speaking about the issue but it is absolutely insane,” he said. “If you look at the next few World Cups, they are in places where, if I were to go, I could possibly be imprisoned or beat up or stoned to death. It is pretty ridiculous.”

Roberts told NBC Sports that he was concerned about the safety of gay fans traveling to Russia and Qatar to watch the games, due to Russia’s bill banning “propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations to minors,” and Qatar’s ban on gay sex.

“There is going to be number of gay fans that will go to watch the sport. Of course there is going to be another gay footballer there. So I think it is an issue that needs to be spoken about and discussed with FIFA because every player should feel safe when they go to a World Cup,” said Rogers.

Obviously organizations like FIFA & IOC care more about money than basic human rights. But what’s the Human Rights Campaigns and GLAAD’S excuse in not getting involved?

Lazy?  Ineffectual?  Worthless?  

Or perhaps its just D.  All of the above.

 

Robbie Rogers Talks With Chelsea Handler About Showering With The Team And The Sochi Olympics

Robbie Rogers naked

Adorable out L.A. Galaxy soccer player Robbie Rogers stopped by Chelsea Lately on Thursday and talked about his coming out, the Sochi Winter Olympics and what its like showering with a soccer team.

“The guys are nothing but supportive.” Robbie said.  “They make jokes when we’re in the shower, if the lights are off they’ll be like, ‘I wonder why the lights are off, you know, Robbie’s coming in the shower.'”

 

While Robbie is incredibly brave in his coming out (and totally cute) I disagree with him completely about boycotting the Olympics. He’s an athlete and they love the sports limelight. To me its though I find the “they trained so hard” argument incredibly selfish.  That a few hundred athletes chance at competing for an Olympic medal trumps the human rights, lives and safety of gay men and women in Russia is mind boggling and extremely sad.

Major League Soccer’s Marc Burch Suspended For Saying Anti-Gay Slurs

Entertainment, , , , , ,

In professional sports player being a douchebag news, Major League Soccer’s Marc Burch of the Seattle Sounders was suspended after he was heard using homophobic slurs at a game. Burch will not only have to sit out three games, but also he is mandated to pay an unspecified amount in damages as well as attend mandatory sensitivity training.

Before the penalty for his anti-rant on the field, Burch issued a  formal apology for his lack of judgment:

“I apologize for my horrific choice of words last night during our match. This is something that is inconsistent with my family values and because of that I am both disappointed and embarrassed by my level of poor judgment. I take seriously my role as a leader in the community and this is completely regrettable and unacceptable. Character matters and I hope through hard work on and off the field to begin earning your respect and trust again.”

Commissioner of Major League Soccer, Don Garber had this to say:

“Major League Soccer has a zero tolerance policy in response to this type of behavior from its players or staff. While I understand and believe that Mr. Burch is remorseful, Major League Soccer is committed to providing an environment in which all individuals are treated with dignity and respect.”

This will hurt the team as Burch is one of their best players but it would’ve hurt their reputation more had this disciplinary action hadn’t taken place. People need to be held accountable for what they say. No word yet from Burch on whether he feels his punishment was fitting.

David Testo, an American soccer player who recently played for the Montreal Impact has come out of the closet.

Via Outsports:

I really regret not having said publicly earlier. I fought with it all my life, my whole career. Living the life of a professional athlete and being gay is incredibly difficult. It is like wearing a secret…It saps all your energy…in addition to having to perform, having to play.”

This makes David Testo first American pro soccer player, to come out of the closet.

Welcome David.

Performing under the name Stany Falcone the former footballer has begun to appear in several  gay adult productions and explains that he hid his homosexuality all the while he was playing football for fear that there would be a problems. 

“The football world is not ready for gay players. There is too much prejudice and generally low tolerance. Since I was 20 I have been in gay circles, but when I played soccer, nobody noticed anything. If my orientation would have been known, there would have undoubtedly problems.”

Even though European athletes and fans have a much more tolerant view of homosexual in sports than the United States its still a difficult situation to be faced with.  But thanks to athletes who have come out, such as Gareth Thomas, Steven Davies and Anton Hysen its getting better everyday

Luckily for Johnathan he had a a back-up carrer plan.  And by the look of his pictures lucky for us also
