This aesthetical bet is expected to be open from March and seeks to contribute to the discussion on individual liberty of the athletes to express their sexual preferences. football homosexuality Society has stereotyped football players as the representatives of the breeding male sexually desired by women, who see in the roughness of the well-sculpted bodies, the erotic image desired. For this reason great athletes have had to hide their homosexuality to not be discriminated. However, the hidden secrets in the dressing rooms where the sweaty bodies and high doses of endorphins and testosterone that are hidden from the eyes of the joyful fans, give ammunition to mischievous comments. Given these suspicions, and some reports dared to expose the hidden gay relationships between players, Spanish-German striker of Bayern Munich and member of the German national team Mario Gomez, has advised gay football players to come out of the closet so that they can play “liberated”. To his words, just a popular adage comes to my mind “there’s no smoke without fire”. Despite this finding of fuzzy relations between players, homosexuality in football is still a taboo. The millions football clubs sell trafficking with their players and the huge industry that revolves around sports apparel, balls, shoes and other related products, required to maintain the stereotype of male captivating successful beautiful women, because stereotypes are what sell. Perhaps this is the reason many players choose to keep their sexuality secret and there is only one known case of homosexual claims, the German player Marcus Urban, who left the sport in the early 90's after being discriminated against because of sexual orientation, despite his talent. Urban silenced for more than ten years his condition of gay and only dared to go public in 2007 in an interview about his early retirement from football. The conservative FIFA managed by Joseph Blatter has displayed his homophobia stating that gay fans “should refrain from any sexual activity” in the World Cup 2022 in Qatar, where homosexuality is illegal and punishable by death. The response of Lavrikovs, public relations director of the European branch of International Association of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex accused him of violating a very basic human right, adding, “It is a disappointment to see a body that promotes sport, which in its rules condemns any discrimination, making comments like that.” The exhibition on homosexuality in the football world will be a great opportunity to look what hides behind the lucrative business and how it influences freedom of the sexual choices of the players, who must hide their sexuality in a closet waiting for a social change.
