After FC Blackpool player Jake Daniels made his homosexuality public, he received great encouragement for this step. Now Boris Johnson also commented.
All for one: Soccer player Jake Daniels has received support for his openness about his home sexuality from a number of quarters, both from fans and from his club Blackpool FC. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson also thanked the striker for his courage in a tweet and called him a “great inspiration for many on and off the field”.
Exactly right: Daniels announced on Monday that he is gay. “Now is the right time” for this, the 17-year-old had emphasized to “Sky Sports”. Football has “changed so much over the years” that it is now “ready for this development”.
Not enough: Up until Daniel’s statement, there had been no coming out of an active male professional player in British football for thirty years. In Europe, he is the only active European football star with this openness, even before his career really took off. The talent was inspired by water jumper Tom Daley, among others.
