English football player Jake Daniels said he is gay in a trailblazing moment for the European men’s game. The 17-year-old forward on Monday made the announcement at the end of his first season as a professional player with second division club Blackpool. While women’s football features many prominent LGBTQ+ players, the men’s professional game lacks players who are publicly gay and has seemed to have even hostile attitudes in locker rooms.
