And look at womens football, there are alot of gay (women) playing football. that's my take. A good quote for the gay (men), bad quote for women's football. But, he's a dude, so whatevers. what he’s saying (badly) is:

But football is open for everybody, which is why they made a gay competition in South America." It almost sounds like he's saying that there are gay people who play football but because of their fear of the machismo of the professional leagues they are all in the gay football leagues that were developed to open football to everyone. Again, a lot gets lost in translation and maybe I'm reading way too much into the statement.

I know of no publicly out players but you're right, we dykes have a pretty good idea which ones bat for our team... so to speak ;-) Still not sure what he means by “And look at women’s football: homosexuality is more popular there” – something lost in the translation maybe?!
