The state of English sport

One topic on the football programme last Saturday lunchtime was "Homosexuality - The Last Taboo in Football". Because the fans are getting thrown out for chanting racist slogans they have, apparently, switched to anti-homosexual invective. I didn't realize they were clever enough to work this out. Anyway, one of the chaps discussing this problem remarked, without any apparent indication he realized his goof, "Who cares whether footballers are homosexual as long as they perform on the pitch?" Personally, that's the last thing I want to see. And why are the authorities allowing this when come down so heavily on streakers - so to speak?

Woke up this morning to hear test cricket instead of The Today Programme. Don't know which I prefer, interviews with the dregs of the planet interrupted by the dregs of Radio 4 or the sound of tumbling English wickets. At lunch today we were treated to Steve Harmison's diary - mindless jingles alternating with mindless inanities, one of which went something along the lines "We're having problems with injuries but the team will stick together." Is this the future of sports medicine?
