the 'comment' function has got to be the most inspiring aspect of modern technogolgical advance.

"Wow, way to talk out of both sides of your mouth, Aker. You're totally fine with people being gay, as long as they don't have the audacity to enter the world of sport. If they do, then let them suffer and lie, just to make people like you more comfortable. Clearly, you don't spend your life worrying about how others feel about what you do or say, but you think these players should spend their entire playing careers in the closet because you all shower together and hug after goals?! Last time I checked, that many men in one shower is about the gayest thing in the world, even if they are all straight. Saying you're all for gay rights, as long as it doesn't get in the way of you feeling like a real man while naked with other men, is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Aker, I think it's time to take your own advice, and keep your ridiculous opinions where they belong, in the closet."

"I agree with you AKER! ..... Why is it anyones business anyway who is Gay or Straight ??.....pfft ....GO DOGGIES :)"

"It would be international news"? It wouldn't even be interstate news.?"

"Wouldn't this guy want to know who is gay so that he can protect himself against being secretly ogled? Otherwise, he's showering unwittingly with guys who are looking up up and down"

"To the Herald Sun, as a proud and out gay person, I am deeply offended by the egregiously homophobic nature of this article. How dare you allow the vilification of a suspect class of people by shaming them to stay in the closet no matter where they are. How dare you allow a message that straight people are superior to gay people in justifying their discomfort over gay people in the shower room. This article is blatant, rampant, destructive homophobia that will do nothing but demean and dehumanize gay people and especially the gay youth that do not need further hostility in their lives. Whoever authorized this appalling article should be very, very ashamed of him/herself."

"he is right!! i would be different after a football game if i knew a player was gay!!"

"We (footy fans) don't want to know anyway."

"Oh...My... God!!! You have got to be joking, right? Thank you Jason, for reminding us gays that we are too different from you, and we'll keep on hiding to make you feel better. "

AMAZING.
