On Monday, 8 November, Vlatko Markovic, president of the Croatian Football Federation stated that: “While I’m a president of the Croatian Football Federation, there will be no homosexuals playing in the national team…. Luckily, only normal people play football.” Croatian gay and lesbian organizations have already condemned Markovic for these

This stuff makes my blood boil! I hate that what seems like common sense to those who think is contradicted (loudly and crassly) all the time by people who proudly announce to the world that they have no common sense. And it's accepted. I hate it so much.

emails have been sent, btw. I'm so glad Red Card Homophobia is doing this. Hopefully some of the letters will make it to someone with power and a conscience.

Thanks for participating! :)

Oh, me too. With all those campaigns against racism, one should think that people could put two and two together - but no, the majority (or at least those who enjoy shouting out their opinion even when nobody wants to hear it) is still bigoted, hypocritical and simply idiotic. *headdesk*

Woah. What a DICK.

HELLO! *waves frantically*

Your icon is incredibly appropriate.

[pint_of_boyd]

yes it is!!!! Saved for only "special" occasions such as this.

How have you been??

[txorakeriak]

Oh, good, good! And you? Tell me everything! :)

This man... there are no words to describe him.

[txorakeriak]

Very true. *sigh*

[ombu_tree]

wow, while I can see that some people may still have such views, as disrespectful as they might be... I would have thought that they would be smart enough not to broadcast such thoughts to the general public. Especially someone of such influence as the president of a country's football association. But there you go.

Too bad that it is very likely that under his reign, so to speak, there probably has been at least one player of non-heterosexual bearing that has played for that country.

Yes, exactly! But unfortunately, it seems that opinions like his are still popular with some people, and as long as that's the case, there will always be people who don't just fail at common sense but also at diplomacy. Even in high positions, where people should actually know better than to babble out everything that crosses their minds.

This is the only comfort I draw out of all this. HAHAHA, PWNED.

I've participated and I've also ppsted this in my own LJ. I hope that many people participate!

[txorakeriak]

Thank you! I hope that both the Croatian federation and the UEFA will be flooded with protest e-mails. Maybe we can actually achieve something by that. People in important positions have been forced to resign for all kinds of reasons in the past, why not for this?

[sophie_lfc]

You're welcome. I also hope that both the Croatian federation and the UEFA will be flooded with protest e-mails! It would make me happy to see all the slash writing/reading people in LJ writing e-mails and helping us to achieve the sacking of Mr. "fuckin' stupid asshole" Markovic.
