Show Notes
Sweden’s Rio silver medallist Nilla Fischer thinks we’re a long way from seeing a big, male star ‘come out’ in the sport. But the first openly gay referee in the English game, Ryan Atkin, believes homophobia is on the decline in football.
We want to know what the men can learn from the women’s game about LGBTQ+ inclusivity.
