feuervogel | Show homophobia the red card.

I'm a football fan. I'm also queer. I don't let homophobic commentary slide when I encounter it. Unfortunately, sports is a hotbed of homophobia. Even football.

So I joined

rc_homophobia, and I've volunteered to write a blog post about a news article. I also volunteered to write something longer about some older articles from Spiegel.de, which may range from Becker's commentary that the MNT that went to SA this year was ugly and gay, and they're jealous of (his client) Ballack to FC St Pauli's official anti-hate (racism, sexism, homophobia, etc) stance. The club also has a long-standing association with punks and the counter culture.

Kick hate out of the beautiful game.
