No they already sing songs that he is gay and this is in addition to that. I think its pretty safe to assume that they are smill minded and do see a direct connection between been gay and having HIV.
Forgive me if I'm missing something but how does this imply he's gay?Originally Posted by finlma
Is this based on the assumption that the fans are smallminded & think that if someone has AIDS they must be gay![]()

In Trap we trust
Just to illustrate how ignorant assuming HIV is a gay disease only anymore is that recently, In Ireland, the fastest growth in cases of diagnosed HIV was among promiscuous men and women who are heterosexual.
Could not agree more Colldge Till I Die, you gotta be careful out there.
However this is just an off point more about stats rather than HIV. Fastest growth is one of these quotes that is use a lot. The reason something is the fastest growth is pretty simple
If you have 2 people and it jumps to 4 that is 100 per cent growth
however ifyou have 2000 and it justmps to 2500 that is only 25 per cent growth. That would not stop the papers saying that example A had faster growth. Just an aside there.

By all accounts, Sol and Freddie were an item but Freddie is now with Jose Antonio........
Bye bye Stan. Go off back to collecting cones you useless git.
I don't think he's been fair to Neil at all in the way he tried to make his point. The primary aim of this specific forum is to discuss football. If there's a wider issue here in feeling there is too much political corectness then take it to the current affairs forum rather than twisting a man's words and practising sophistry.Originally Posted by WeAreRovers
No - its not. Rumours have been rife for years that Sol Campbell is gay and Spurs fans always sing songs about it.Originally Posted by Tired&Emotional
The HIV jibe is obviously in reference to the gay accusation.
Clear things up for you? Don't just try to start an argument for the sake of it please.

yes. and we were discussing the topic of the thread.it was neil himself who chose to turn it into a thread about himself. you jumped in missing the point completely.(did you even read the original article?) its not being unfair on anyone to make the same assumptions about something they posted as they are doing about something else. and it is a totally legitamate way of making a point. why should everything be dumbed down for not very bright people to understand and not take offence to? I understand you cant have people making slanderous accusations or starting rows for the sake of it but in this case I wasnt(if you read the posts) and I think you were totally wrong.Originally Posted by Poor Student

Get off you highhorse - it wasn't my intention to "start an argument for the sake of it" - and certainly won't take direction from you, pal!
