Der Hammer is gay
Thomas Hitzlsperger comes out of the closet, as the first high-profile player to come out since Justin Fashanu.
With Brian Clough dead and buried, it's looking quite likely that Hitzlsperger will survive. While I'm happy that society has progressed so far as to allow footballers to come out, I'm a little disappointed that he didn't come out until after he retired. While it could be as simple as him not feeling comfortable enough with his homosexuality yet, it could be a sign that the dressing room behaviour hasn't changed since medieval times. Particularly as the FA's recently hired "inclusion-guy" feels homosexuality is gross.
Still, a good day.
