Thomas Hitzlsperger sheds light on dressing room challenges and lack of unity in men's football for gay players
Former professional footballer and advocate for diversity in sport Thomas Hitzlsperger has said the dressing room is the main reason as to why more male professional footballers have not come out. “It’s not the media, it’s not the fans, it’s the dressing room,” Hitzlsperger said, who received the Football Business' Global Ambassador Award on Friday evening for his work in promoting diversity within the German Football Association (DFB). Ad “You can unsettle a dressing room,” he told The Times in an interview.
