Neill Francis said that gay people
are not interested in sport. Later he said, “I must say it didn’t sound like me
at all in a sense.” That was
the first clue.
What sense was he talking about?
This former Irish rugby international, we can safely assume, is
straight as any heterosexual can be or as a gay person can be gay. Other people
even said to him that was not his form. Based on all this information and a new
awareness of it, he apologized.
He was asked then was his apology
genuine, to which he replied:
“People know who I am and that is to say what I
mean. I don’t think there is any point in saying this unless you mean it.”
Which, I suppose one can argue that he meant that gay people don’t like sport after
all in the first place. Know what I mean. I wonder though if he really knows gay
people so much, could it be that he is gay himself?
Bless him, who cares anyway except
maybe him.
