Re: Neil Francis
I have no idea why the ST are giving this clown a pulpit. At least Quinn Roux isn't around as the subject of his misdirected bile anymore.

" He declared that the rugby dressing room is a homophobic place and claimed a rugby player who came out as being gay would set themselves up for abuse which ‘could take the edge from your game’."
BTW calling someone "a lazy sniveling coward" is to say the very least unacceptable language.
You need to get a grip
I don't want this forum sued, do you?
As for the article in general, didn't like the tone of it tbh but he did throw out a few figures that if accurate suggest that your sexual bias can effect your access to sporting activities. His article wasn't clear as to where the fence was and given his perceived image he might have been better advised to stick to rugby analysis, something which he can be quite informative about.
Then again we don't know what his employer or editor want.

Having worked in NF's orbit, I can confirm he is exceptionally lazy.
