Waddle: Football may never get rid of homophobia

Available for over a year

England winger Chris Waddle doubts whether football will ever stop homophobic chants from fans. FA chairman Greg Clarke said last week he would not "recommend" a current player to come out as gay "at the moment. Waddle, 55, said: "It's ignorance. You can go to any ground - whether it is 75,000 or 700 – and there are going to be idiots in football. We always know that, so unfortunately it wouldn't be good to come out now." "It is just the mentality of the game. I'm not saying it is everyone - it's just a small minority - but until they clean football up, which I don't think will happen, does that player need that sort of abuse? No." This clip was taken from 5 live Sport on Wednesday 26 October 2016.
