#RainbowLaces - The Fight to End Homophobia in Football

[RAMROD 117,075]

I support this.

Hope it goes far.

I live in a very liberal country where about 95%+ of the votes in the parlement are pro-Gay rights, and about 90% of the population supports gay rights. But yet when you're at a football match, you'll hear people screaming things like 'Vieze homo!' (dirty gay), 'Kuthomo' (vagina gay ), and most people who still use words like 'fag', 'gaaayyy', 'homo' to describe something bad are straight males who watch football every day. Changing the culture is important to change this way of thinking, and the best way to do is by showing that people with a lot of respect and might from those people are against homophobia.

That's really good tho'. Im glad that u live there. Which country is it? :O

Haha okey I see. Perhaps this would help there then :)

Nothin but

Football and soccer are different things here in the states.

 

This has nothing to do with the states though. It's a UK charity and campaign, so why would US terminology be used?

I was clarifying something for someone.

The clarification was unnecessary though because realistically (using common sense), "someone" was already aware of the difference

You maybe.  Someone made a comment.  I suggested a misunderstanding.  Your clarification is more unnecessary.

I know. But football started out as what American people call soccer.

Actual football is what American people refer to as 'soccer'.
