Gay Footballer: Anonymous/Nonesuch

An anonymous German footballer has spoken about his decision not to reveal his sexuality publicly after teammates refused to shower naked with him once they found out he was gay.

The player, under the pseudonym Nico, told German broadcaster Deutsche Welle about how teammates used to wear underwear in the showers if he was present.

In the interview Nico said: “By chance the team I was in found out that I was gay.

“After a training session I walked into the shower and I realised all of my teammates weren't naked, but were wearing underpants. Of course I was totally shocked,

“At first I didn’t know why, but then I realised it was because of me.”

The Independent. 

Can't see any reason to think this may be completely made up, no sirree.

One wonders if this anonymous footballer knows the anonymous Royal Ballet dancers?
