Jake Daniels: Can a 17-year-old trailblazer help kick homophobia out of football?
The Sports DeskAvailable for over a year
On this week’s podcast, will the decision of Blackpool striker Jake Daniels to come out as gay help football become a more inclusive space or merely highlight the prejudices that still pervade the sport? We speak to Matt Morton, the gay player-manager cited by Daniels as an inspiration, and the co-founder of England’s LGBT supporters’ group Di Cunningham. And with homophobic chanting still being heard at Premier League grounds this season we ask whether the game’s authorities should be doing more to tackle this form of abuse. Panel: Sarah Mulkerrins, Dan Roan, Nesta McGregor, Mike Minay Producer: Sam Sheringham
