Arteta you CAN stop your hair from being so perfect, all you have to do is not use so much bloody hairspray! Or at least share the secrets of your impeccable locks so that we can all have them and you’ll become normal by default.
The club and all of the players involved in this deserve a lot of praise. It’s perfectly pitched and one of the funniest things I’ve seen in ages.

That was great. Reading the comments on Youtube, though, you realize how much more work is needed to rid the world of ignorance, racism, and homophobia.
Indeed. The Youtube comments section is known for its trolling but there’s an ugly reality there too. Some Arsenal fans claiming to be ‘ashamed’ of the club and players promoting this message… wow
Perhaps no surprise that moronic antediluvian attitudes are displayed when you consider the extreme homophobia encouraged by – of all things – certain religious groups – notably fundamentalist Christian groups and some Muslims. Fortunately there are many who are more pragmatic in their interpretation of arcane statements in Leviticus & the Q’uran. It could be worse – you could be gay and living in Uganda.

Anyone else just watch Girouds part over and over?
“We’re all a little gay, its just to what extent. Ill Prove it…
So You Watch Porn? So you only watch 2 women together?
If you watch a man and a woman together, do you like the man to have a tiny half flacid penis?”
But it is not the whole story, because one can feel their inner gayness as big as they like, but if they are unsubmissive and competitive – like most men – then practising homosexuality is a physical impossibility. Hence they are not gay.

I don’t want football or cricket or The Arsenal to be involved in any politics whatsoever. I don’t need The Arsenal or a rugby or cricket team to try and preach to me or to try to teach me morals. And if you want to call me a homophobe I suggest that those laces and messages are meant for you’. A football club must either embrace every SINGLE political cause out there or none at all.

Whilst I go along with some of the points you make – there are so many other important issues – politics can not be hermetically sealed off from all aspects of life. It is all encompassing – it impacts on everything, including sport and those who support it.

Homophobia affects Arsenal, and sport in general in (direct) ways that other issues do not. And if ever there comes a time when “human trafficking” or “domestic violence” becomes more directly associated with football then I’d expect the club to address those as well.
Homophobia is an issue in football in much the same way as racism is. It rears its head on ‘the terraces’, on the pitch, and in the dressing room.
So, continue to be appalled because this anti-homophobic issue isn’t going to go away anytime soon.
I get what you are saying, I do. However, this speaks to me on a personal level, as my girlfriends brother is gay, and he struggled before he came out, not because anyone in the extended family has any homophobic tendencies or anything like that, but because he was worried how it would be percieved at the workplace, in his extended group of friends, in his sunday league football team. The important thing here is that football & sports remain an area where it’s still not OK to be gay (how many openly gay professional footballers can you name?) Yes… Read more »
@gammhunn – this speaks to me on a personal level also, as I am sure it would to anyone who has seen their child’s life at school made a complete misery by homophobic bullying that has its roots in the bigoted & ignorant attitudes that parents pass down to their offspring reinforced (sadly) by some politicians and some religious leaders who should know better the essential meaning and morality of their faiths.

hm, it *may* be the case that a particular lobby group is run by a bunch of eejits. However, the cause is separate to the people who have appointed themselves into a particular position. A bit like a group of supporters are not the club, or even all the supporters or the concept of ‘football’. Homophobia affects people every day and like any bigotry needs to be tackled every day by everyone. Totally agree that there are other injustices that also need tackling, but giving them a different relative importance or priority is unhelpful (and possibly does harm in itself).… Read more »
Weak argument. So if something is ‘less’ life threatening and crucial, it’s a waste of time to address it? The postman’s union is less ‘important’ than the global water shortage, so it’s just ‘fuck you postmen’. And yes, I’m a postman.
WTF? Have ever watched a documentary about gay kids in sports. They live in fear and embarassment and shame and can’t be themselves in case they get ridiculed or bullied, driving many to depression or even, on occasion, suicide. Gender issues are just a frivolous problem? Tell that to the hundreds of millions of women who in 2014 are still second class citizens when it comes to employment. I’m glad this issue disgusts you, because I wouldn’t want you around anyway in these discussions.
Would you be so incredulous if this video was about anti-racism or domestic violence? In fact, regarding domestic violence, there are many sports teams around the world that take on this issue. Given the sheer number of knuckleheads who are sport fanatics, it only make sense to create awareness in this forum.
I am sorry but I cannot agree with your premise at all. It is in the end utter nonsense. Embrace no political issues or all political issues? Rubbish. What are all political issues? Have you got the list? With your reasoning no-one would tackle anything for fear they were not able to tackle the others. Your inertia would then lead to a retention status quo which in the end is a kind of prejudice in itself.

I understand that gays want equal rights, but to put them on a pedestal and then use football clubs to promote them… seems wrong to me. Not against gays, but…
Sounds the same as, “I’m not racist, but..” to me. Football’s terrible treatment of LGBT employees, to the extent that you will struggle to think of anyone involved in football who is ‘out’, must be addressed. That is, as you identify, about ‘equality’ of treatment, not about “putting on a pedestal” – whatever that implies.
Perhaps it may be instructive for those who somehow feel threatened by the idea of ‘gay’ footballers to take the trouble to visit the Science Museum’s Alan Turing display/exhibition (assuming it is still there). This man was a brilliant scientist, one of the founders of modern computing and the internet, as well as crucial to the British code-breaking effort in WW2. He was repaid by his country by being convicted of homosexuality and chemically castrated, leading to his suicide. The point being that your sexuality is absolutely irrelevant to how effective you are at your chosen profession and your value… Read more »
I don’t think it’s necessarily a phobia. Probably a lack of awareness and education on the subject matter. If anything, perhaps this campaign would be a good opportunity to educate yourself on the topic, #2. The problem, in my opinion, it’s that the LGBT community is “categorized” at all. The moment there’s “them” vs “us” there’s mistrust and false assumptions from an absence of empathy. I remember seeing a YouTube video where they ask random people if they think that homosexuality is a choice. Some say no, some say yes. But to those that say yes, they ask the very… Read more »

Exactly.
And how is the promotion of fundamental respect anyway political?
And problems with football being use as a vehicle for this promotion being wrong? That’s nonsense, it is well documented that many gay footballers have been too scared to be honest with even their closest team mates about their sexuality due to the current culture in the sport (and likely other sports). Which all leads to depression and mental anguish, some of the most prevalent and unspoken problems in the world today.
The club and the players don’t *have* to do anything. The fact that they are standing up for a good cause should be applauded: they’re doing the right thing. Of course there are many other good causes that they could promote, but as previous comments have said, this is a cause that directly affects football, the players’ working environment and their daily lives. Why shouldn’t they see it as a priority? It’s also easy to be cynical about Arsenal and Paddy Power doing this as a self-promoting exercise. But remember that they didn’t need to this: it’ll probably alienate their… Read more »
Just what ARE you saying? If you are saying that sexuality is something that is (often) inherent and genetically determined, then that may be some sort of advance.
The relationship between biology and sexual orientation is a subject of research.

Hahahahahah Giroud part made my day!
Great stuff! Love it! Wanna get my self a pair of the laces!
Carzolas bit was the bit that made me laugh!
It was a bit part you might say…
Theo – author, actor, footballer
Modern polymath
Lego hair – perfecto!
lol classic. All I’ll think now when the Ox is charging down the line he’s shouting, cowabungggaaaaa!!!
Love it. Classy stuff from all involved.
Giroud could run a gay nightclub on his own
Ox really does look like a ninja turtle
it’s a bit unfortunate
I’d happily look like a ninja turtle if it meant I could be The Ox!
God I love this group of players!
So much win.
Yet another reason to be proud of my club.
I thought The Ox was about to say he couldn’t change looking like Kieran Gibbs
That would have been brilliant 🙂
This is fabulous!
Arteta you CAN stop your hair from being so perfect, all you have to do is not use so much bloody hairspray! Or at least share the secrets of your impeccable locks so that we can all have them and you’ll become normal by default.

Its all in his face when he’s getting sprayed. I’ve tried replicating that expression for the past half hour, and I fail dismally.

does that mean some people are afraid of themselves?

Hey now. No need to discriminate against Neanderthals. They were a perfectly decent humanoid species.
