The war on homosexuality in Africa is heating up, and the nation of Uganda is taking it to the soccer pitch. The Ugandan FA is forcing every soccer coach in the country to sign a document that “denounces any support or involvement in sodomy related acts.” This follows an episode in which a player accused a football club manager of sexually assaulting him at a championship tournament in the country. Sodomy is illegal in Uganda.
“We are going to address [sodomy] in the code of conduct,” said Stone Kyambadde, the vice-chairman of the Ugandan Coaches Association. “The code will denounce any support or involvement in sodomy-related acts.”
The accused coach, Charles Ayiekoh, has been suspended by Fufa, the Ugandan governing football association.
“We intend to get rid of the entire group and I can assure you that as coaches we come up with a comprehensive plan to wipe out the deadly vice,” one Fufa executive said.
And we think we have problems with homophobia in sports.

The suspended coach Charles ‘Ayiekoh’ Lukura has given an interview to Ugandan newspaper The Observer explaining his view on the events leading to his suspension.
When asked “Have you ever heard of homosexuality in Ugandan football?” he replies “Yes I’ve heard about it, but it is all rumours.” When the paper went on and asked “Do you believe it is real?” he says “I don’t know!”
Given the circumstances, his answer to the question “What is your view on homosexuality as a whole?” was undestandably “Of-course it is not a good practice.”

One would assume that Uganda’s definition of sodomy includes fellatio not just butt f’ing?? If so that means all those BJs the Ugandan FA dudes are getting will have to stop too?

If sodomy, regardless if it happens between same or opposite sexes, is illegal then those straight soccer players best think twice b4 butt f**king their wives/girlfriends/hos.

I have been to Uganda so this makes me kind of sad but not surprised. The country is over 80% Christian and what I have learned is they believe homosexuality is disgusting and so rampant over in the states. I think it is clearly due to the fact that people would be more comfortable coming “out” here than there. I love Uganda and its people regardless, though.

i am ugandan, and damn right i believe homosexuality is a perversion. fufa has been famous for a lot of inadequacies in the past, i glad they are doing something about this. sportsmen are in many cases role-models for the rural youth and we have enough problems as a country without having our youth corrupted by faggotry.

If I may be so blunt dan…if you believe homosexuality is disgusting…why are you on a website dedicated to discussion of sports in such a disgusting way? In the closet much my darling? Watch out….you are probably going to get tracked via your connection with this website and get thrown into one of your country’s cesspools. Oh wait…your entire country already is one! I hope your stupid bible saves you when the lynch mob comes for you.
