Given the multitude of backgrounds and religions in football I’m sure there are many who have similar opinions, maybe even some players we love in our team. To be very clear, not excusing or condoning it. I’m genuinely not sure how it factors in or how all the differences are managed. Sounds like your are excusing and defending it to me - “it’s ok to employ him because I’m sure there are others” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't think there's anything homophobic to infer from that, and if you are your probably clutching a bit. I'm pretty sure the account "reformedbychrist" thinks LGBTQ pride is sin. He's also been sharing Matt Walsh, if you look at the tweet above, which puts it beyond doubt imo. Edited June 12, 2023 by JB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEMTEX Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 When did he share these exciting insta-reels? And did he repent afterwards (in exchange for eternal salvation no doubt)? I can survive footballers being a bit thick / naive. But I'm not big on massively religious homophobes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d prefer we don’t sign anyone who thinks that way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very proud to have seen the rainbow flag fly in the Gallowgate and we've seen Wor Flags do displays for Pride Month. We're an inclusive club and should continue to be so, purchasing players who use their social media platform to spread hate would fly in the face of that.

Kid Icarus Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) I mean...should I say it...if he is homophobic then I agree that I don't want it at Newcastle, but it does (or should) stir up a certain cognitive dissonance doesn't it?

Shak Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 I mean... his horrible views are probably shared by the people running the club, sadly. Seems completely stupid to sign someone who's likely to be a divisive figure in the dressing room though, even if the decision-makers at our club do share his views it seems an unnecessary bad vibe to introduce in order to bring in a slightly more affordable depth midfielder.

Aye. Is Gueye the only outwardly homophobic player in the league, currently? Or have more of the religious types emerged since then? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) I know it might sound hypocritical given the majority owners, but PIF don't openly post stuff like that and have respected the club supporting the LGBT community. I respect everyone having an opinion, religious or otherwise, and their personal beliefs, but if he's going to post that sort of drivel so openly and publicly, I don't want him here.
