Goalkeeper wants his brother, who is gay, to not fear abuse‘I’ve bit my tongue too many times. All that ends today’
Arsenal’s Aaron Ramsdale has vowed to call out homophobia and said he wants to make football a sport that is a “welcoming place for everyone” after talking for the first time about the fact that one of his brothers is gay.
The goalkeeper, writing in The Players’ Tribune, said: “Over the years, I’ve probably bit my tongue a few too many times – both in dressing rooms and on social media – whenever I hear homophobic comments or stupid things being said. And I think maybe my brother has done the same, thinking it would make my life easier. Well, all that ends today.”
