  • Powerful and effective. The use of film to give a message. Good work.

  • I think this is a really powerful ad. It's a shame the FA have turned tailed and delayed launching it (if we're being honest, they'll probably never launch it now).

    I think if we'd got famous players to talk about being gay, it wouldn't have had the same effect, plus they'd have been ridiculed, which would have undermined the whole video.

    This puts the issue in a much more realistic light, and will hopefully get some people to rethink their attitiudes; if not only the FA!

  • Ummm doesn't anyone feel that this film actually makes a joke of homophobia?! Like I can easily imagine a group of heterosexual guys laughing at the vast number of homophobic insults and ignoring the actual message! I CANT imagine any hererosexual people being forced to reassess their views on gay rights and homophobia as a result of this advert. Sorry, but this just seems like a front for the FA to say that they're tackling homophobia!

  • @Besiktas1903cArsi ,

    Sweet jesus,homophobes like you really do exist! I thought you'd all been stamped out,lol.You think footie's a 'man's game'.Oh,dear.You clearly aint ever seen Stonewall FC,then,have you? I suggest you do!

  • That man is short fat and ugly.

    No wonder he's angry at the world.

    Fantastic advert. Homophobia is stupid. There are bigger things going on in the world right now.

  • @Besiktas1903cArsi

    Gay men are men you retard.

  • 104 people are gay

  • Used to be racism, now it's sexism.

    It doesn't bother me as I don't watch it any more.

    Football is a game for BRAIN-DEAD MORONS ; men, women or even queers.

    As per usual : fascist censoring of comments.

    Welcome to the brave new world of lefty fascists.

  • @dawgsaysbang This video made you skin. What the hell does that mean?!

  • I think we should kick "using the wrong words out" because nobody is actually scared of gays.

  • this video made me skin

  • That took 61 seconds of my life. I would like them back, please.
