like no other social sector, have in football can hold traditional constructions of masculinity so far. These work primarily on the alleged devaluation of everything and a convexity of the weak performance ideal.

is no coincidence that homophobia in football is so widespread. Until now the only gay football player who dared in its active phase to come out, took his later life. Partly because family Colleagues and coaches could not handle the fact that a man has loving feelings for another man.

only hope that the death of Robert Enke addition, as discussed in public, how to deal with men, will come to their limits and need help.
