German soccer boss says: “There’s no place in football for gays”
A former soccer boss today sparked fury by declaring: ‘There is no place in football for gays.’
Rudi Assauer, who formerly headed up Schalke 04 in Germany’s Bundesliga, went on to say: ‘Perhaps they are OK in other sports but not in football.’
‘If a player came to me and said he was gay I would say to him: “You have shown courage.” But then I would tell him to find something else to do.’
His outburst is set to enrage world footballing authorities who are making concerted efforts to rid the game of homophobia.
