I think racism played a big part in everyone's ability to ignore one basic disgusting fact. Instead they felt "How dare anyone challenge the integrity of my fellow white public schooler". If Roebuck was an black man, I don't think we would have witnessed the same glowing character reviews of PR by any means.

I had dealings with Justin Fashanu, England's only confessed gay footballer before his tragic demise. I admired him for his honesty. Sadly, nothing much since on the football front. Or cricket for that matter. Sometimes I sit and think "statistically one in nine people are homosexual and there are 22Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17261430301579380843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2216137769257949377.post-27982097164422321042012-01-13T12:28:53.067+00:002012-01-13T12:28:53.067+00:00I am a gay South African sportsman and was appalle...I am a gay South African sportsman and was appalled at the bile spewed at you after the "eulogy" article and it's sad, but not surprising, to see that no apologies have been forthcoming. <br />I grew up in a sport-mad family and went to a sport-obsessed school.
