Ogame Material Hack German
Victory , un programma di approfondimento dedicato allo sport. Per guardare il sports world from the inside "says Colombo" with the tragedies and joys of the characters, stories behind the characters. "
And the stories are often unpublished. Like those who chose to Colombo on Friday 5 (airs at 24): an entire episode that deals with a subject "taboo" in the sports world: homosexuality. "The idea was mine," said Colombo, "The theme of particular interest to me: I'm gay, I made my coming out this summer."
In a special occasion?
I spoke with my director Antonio Piroso in July, going to follow the Eurogames in Barcelona. What is this?
I'm kind of Olympic athletes involving gay, lesbian and transgender people from around the world. It was exciting, the opening was the mayor of the Catalan Jordi Hereu, thousands of spectators, a quite beautiful, you felt really an athlete. If you can imagine in Italy? I do not, either in Rome or Milan, which also defines a European city.
you participate?
Yes, I was coaching a soccer team, the KingKickers.
How did it go? Well, even if we went out in the second round, against a German team. With German referee (outrageous). The fact is that bothering to a person in the international federation.
There is an international federation?
Sure, the sport "gay friendly" exists and has its teams, its competitions, its international federations such as
Iglfa , which is that of football. And the world: the last edition was won by England (
the next will be in June 2009 in Washington DC
, ed.)
So it's not true, as said Luciano Moggi, "
in football there is no place for gays
"
Look, the game is always the same, these prejudices are pretty stupid. There are contrasts, piled up after the score and rivalry: the Eurogames there was another team and we were in Rome derby atmosphere. But in the locker room do not talk about girls ...
No, only boys ... They are all regular guys, some have girlfriends, play in the amateur, in the regional series.
And there are gay players in Serie A? There are and have always been, at least according to rumors in the environment.
But not expressly declare This is the ugly side of things, the need to hide. But we want to prove that it is not mandatory, five of my players will come out in broadcast Friday. And we hope others will follow: My dream is to coach the Italian national gay. If there are any type tricolor training singers and actors do not see why not!
It persists because this taboo? Partly for all the rhetoric "macho" that surrounds football, partly because you can imagine how such an ad can be received by the ultras. Slaughter them. Many think it is better not to risk, some will "build" of romances with beautiful girls that are merely a cover ... They are afraid of ending up ghettoized. Even if they speak to each other and are not backward children of some of their peers: for example with me have always been sensitive, even now we even joke about.
In fact there are very few known cases in the world of sports in general are stories we tell, even hard, like that of
Justin Fashanu, who played in England and when he publicly declared he was repudiated by the coach and his brother. He was found hanged a few years later in a garage in London. It was 1998, not a hundred years ago.
But then there are athletes that become true "icons" gay
Beckham The best known case, but also the advertising of Dolce and Gabbana with players of the national rugby and football in his underwear in the locker room: Do not think audiences are mica hetero
... And for you what are the most fascinating?
Well, Shevchenko, Behrami, Gasbarroni, Ambrosini ... Not because I would cite Sampdoria biased, but I put one of Genoa in Serie A ... there are really nice guys.
