A survey found that 30 percent of football professionals know gay players currently in the game, but most felt that there is pressure on gay players to stay silent. One of the problems that face gay football players is whether they can count on the full support of the PFA. Football's governing bodies have now been directed to give a clearer message on the issue of gay players in football and set up more support for gay players so they do not feel pressured to stay silent.
"Fans think that gay players are urged by their agents and their clubs not to disclose their homosexuality. Fans say they are too often blamed, but over 90 percent say there is no place for homophobia in football," says Dr. Cleland, a former Coventry City goalkeeper and a PFA member.
