Thought it was interesting to get the view of a gay footballer on the subject.

So Jordan Henderson finally gets his move to 🇸🇦. Fair play to him, he can play wherever he wants to play. Curious to know though how the new brand JH will look like. The old one is dead! I did believe for a while that his support for the 🏳️‍🌈 community would be genuine. Silly me...

Responding to a comment on his original tweet, the 52-cap Germany international added: "He’s [sic] gay mates are not safe if they want to watch him live. No one forced him to support the LGBT+ community. He chose to. Why??? Doesn’t make sense to me anymore".
