Former English footballer and current television expert Gary Lineker said he knows two gay football players who have yet to come out and expressed hope that they would decide to come out during the upcoming World Cup.
It would be great if one or both of them came out during the World Cup. That would be amazing. Obviously, it's not for me to reveal who they are, but I know someone was very close to coming out and seriously considered it. Why haven't they said anything until now? Fear. Fear of the unknown, I suppose. Anxiety about what their teammates might think, even though they probably already know,
