Gay Brazilian Footballer Possibly Outed on Television
By: Bob | July 3rd, 2007
In the macho, masculine world of sports the issue of homosexuality is rarely seriously discussed. This is certainly true in football. How many openly gay players have you read about? How many players don’t have WAGs, but rather HABs – husbands and boyfriends?
I can’t think of a single player playing today who has come as being gay, which is why I find it interesting that the issue is on the front burner in Brazil right now. The details of the story are that a player currently playing in the Paulista is contemplating coming out of the closet on national television. The identity of the player is not known, but as is always the case with something like this the speculation has begun.
An apparent slip of the tongue on-air by a soccer club manager may lead a pro player in São Paulo, Brazil, to bring civil and criminal charges. José Cyrillo Jr., a manager with the Palmeiras team, answered a question on the “Debate Bola” TV program about rumors that a player from rival São Paulo was arranging a national television interview to come out.
Asked if the unnamed player was from Palmeiras, Cyrillo responded, “No, Richarlyson was almost with Palmeiras.” Richarlyson has now asked an attorney, Renato Prata Salge, to review video of Cyrillo’s interview to determine his legal options.
Meanwhile, Richarlyson’s agent denied his client was gay, and a legal expert said that, having suggested Richarlyson was the rumored gay player, the legal burden would be on Cyrillo to bring forward evidence to support the accusation.
What kind of evidence could Cyrillo bring forward to prove Richarlyson’s gayness? Well, he is the one on the right in this video, but if that is sufficient evidence alone then there might be more than one gay player on the team.

The idea that there is one gay Brazilian footballer is pretty entertaining, in a weird denial kind of way.

What Jan said. It would almost be funny if it weren’t also rather sad.

I’m getting gay lounge personal ads up in here. I think Bob should base his articles on what type of google ad they’ll generate. I vote for an article soon about a player, a prostitute, a snorkel and some whipped cream. I’d probably buy whatever they were advertising for that regardless.
Oh, and what’s so wrong with that dance? I do it every day after I shower and put on my deodorizing freshener. Small victories.

The add on my page reads ‘Cleargay.co.uk’ the BEST GAY chat…
ignoring that, surely that dance proves everything! Let’s hope he doesn’t get to celebrate too often…
