Former Premier League star Thomas Hitzlsperger has questioned how genuine Jordan Henderson's support for the LGBT+ community ever was, following his move to the Saudi Arabian Pro League.
Thought it was interesting to get the view of a gay footballer on the subject.
So Jordan Henderson finally gets his move to 🇸🇦. Fair play to him, he can play wherever he wants to play. Curious to know though how the new brand JH will look like. The old one is dead! I did believe for a while that his support for the 🏳️🌈 community would be genuine. Silly me…
Responding to a comment on his original tweet, the 52-cap Germany international added: “He’s [sic] gay mates are not safe if they want to watch him live. No one forced him to support the LGBT+ community. He chose to. Why??? Doesn’t make sense to me anymore”.

That person says a lot about who they are by just wearing it as a badge of pride that they “just don’t fuckin care”.
Precisely. But I’m sure the world thinks the same of them, so…
