Not that it should be news in this day and age but well done Jake, a very brave thing to do. Here’s hoping it opens the floodgates in terms of footballers feeling they’re able to be whoever they want without any recrimination:

It is indeed ludicrous that it made the 6 o'clock news. No one is interested in your or my sexuality. Nor should they be in his. Agree on the bravery front though! |  |

Great to see that a footballer is brave enough to open up and it should encourage others to do so.
I am sure he will be the first of many. |  |

Good for him but like you said, it shouldn’t even be an issue. Unfortunately though, we all know some knuckle draggers will make it one. |  | | |

Brave lad in this era where social media hides the idiots......
Lets hope more have the courage to do the same.. |  |

Total respect for the lad and the courage that he’s shown, especially at such a young age.
Credit to Blackpool as well.
Be interesting to see though how many clubs get fined for homophobic chanting next season when Blackpool are the visitors. |  | | |

It's something that feels necessary, I've nothing but admiration for the lad.
Hopefully any abuse, from outright homophobia to dog-whistling whataboutery, will be met with the mockery it deserves. | |

Yes unfortunately I think we're about to see why it's taken so long. The media attention will be ridiculous. Fair play to him. | |

One way for the media attention to pipe down will be if others now find themselves able to be open about their sexuality, which takes the pressure off one individual
Not that i consider it any of my or anyone else's business, but purely from a practical point of view to help the lad |  |

Agree entirely with that view. The sooner a second player opens up the better it will be for Jake. He has made it a little easier for those that follow.
If he shows as much bottle on the pitch as he did yesterday the Blackpool fans will take to him. | | | |

He may be the first in the UK, but I think the first anywhere was an Adelaide United player here in Australia months ago. Never heard any bad publicity regarding this since. | | | |
