Credit: twitter / ginjadaveHomophobia in sport and particularly football remains a topic of significant concern, so it's great to see Norwich City not only showing its support for the Pride movement, but also acknowledging the responsibility sports teams have in addressing the deeply problematic attitudes that still pervade the football culture.
Our hat is off to the club for taking the lead on such an important issue.
