Having a no pro LGTQ social media clause in his contract would be a whole other level of insanity So what if this week he pockets his £700k and next week he turns up to training with rainbow laces? They're not beheading him He won't but it would be great to see him push boundaries Having seen a footballer's contract I can tell you that they are full of tiny details, all outlining what the consequence of breaching would be. Normally they pertain to commercial arrangements, personal endorsements, brand association, permitted extra-curricular activity (e.g. dangerous sports, etc), political activity, charity work, and so on. And this is a two-way street where red lines are drawn by both sides. This is why many "done deals" can take an age to become official. It will be clearly outlined what subject matter Jordan Henderson can and cannot discuss in the public realm before he breaches his contract - which could come with huge financial penalties in addition to forgoing future income. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The USA ranks 18th in the world for LGBT Equality. Saudi Arabia ranks 178th. https://www.equaldex.com/equality-index Quote The Equality Index measures the current status of LGBT rights, laws, and freedoms as well as public attitudes towards LGBT people. And I'm not saying the US is particularly good... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the exact reason they're signing him. It's not for his football ability. It's for the positive media exposure or will generate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. Those saying the same about Hitz though are very wrong. He wouldn't be allowed in the country even if he was offered a contact by one of the clubs. His point is totally valid.

It's awful to think he felt the need to hide it for years because he knew what he'd get, but he had the right idea. For years, around the time he was playing for us, you'd hear hundreds, if not thousands of people chanting "Upson takes it up the arse" whenever we played that lot, which was **** shameful even at the time, but I can't imagine hearing something like that now. We're slowly taking the right steps. Edited July 31, 2023 by Davkaus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhioVilla Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 One of them have bought Lucas Zelarayan from my local team, the Columbus Crew for an undisclosed fee. Awful for Columbus. Good for whoever got him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
