Hypocrite is about right
100% & then trying to justify it by saying he will still highlight it as a problem (but just not whilst it may imact his commercial interests i guess!!).
Alway have mised emotions when I see someone high profile come out as gay, be they a man or woman.
On one hand I am "fair play, be who you are" and I am hoping they make it easier for others to be open about their own sexuality.
But on the other hand I am sad that it is news worthy at all, and that the fact a man likes another man or a woman likes another woman should be seen as anything other than totally normal.
Same if someone is Bi, trans and so on.
Sexuality, and gender (non gender too for that matter) are not a trendy lifestyle choice, it is simply part of who that person is and in 2022 we should be evolved enough to just treat it as such.
And yes I know that is not how the world works as a lot of people are backwards when it comes to sexuality, tough **** is that comment offends anyone, but is still sad that two men or two women cannot just be together or even walk down the street holding hands without some caveman or cavewoman saying something negative or thinking something negative.
I don't hate people. I just feel better when they aren't around.

Championship football match played despite claim one goal was bigger than the other
Cardiff City coaching staff said one of the goals was two inches higher than the permitted height at their away clash with Wigan Athletic - but caretaker manager Mark Hudson was told the problem could take two hours to investigate.

A Championship football match was delayed after it was claimed the goals were two different sizes, sparking calls for an investigation.
Cardiff City coaching staff suggested one of the goals was two inches higher than the permitted 8ft ahead of their away clash with Wigan Athletic at the DW Stadium.
The game kicked off seven minutes late as Cardiff caretaker manager, Mark Hudson, tried to raise the issue - but agreed the match should go ahead after being told it would take up to two hours to investigate.
Cardiff went on to win the match 3-1, with their third goal hitting the underside of the apparent taller crossbar before going in.
Hudson said: "A couple of the lads thought there was an issue with the size of the goals.
"One of the goals was too high by a couple of inches.
"We flagged it straight away, and then they had to recalibrate it because of Hawk-Eye (the operator of the Premier League's goal line technology system), I think.
"We were initially told we'd have to wait a couple of hours for it to sink another couple of inches, but no one wanted that.
"We decided to continue with it, and it was the same for both sides.
"I did ask if we could attack that end in both halves but they weren't having that."
Wigan boss Leam Richardson said it was another example of "the way things are going" for his team, who have yet to win at home.
"One of the goals was two inches too high, and their third goal goes in off the bar… so you do the maths," Richardson said.
"It just sums up the day for us, doesn't it."
According to The Sun newspaper, the goals are dismantled by Wigan ground staff at the end of each game before being re-erected ahead of the next match.
Cardiff won despite goal scorer Callum Robinson being forced to leave the pitch due to an injury ahead of half time.
Richardson said he was "disappointed" with the result but acknowledged the rival side were "more clinical".
"Fair play to Cardiff, and congratulations to them for the win," he said.
How did none of the groundstaff or officials setting up goal line technology etc not notice?
Also I'm confused as to how it's the same for both sides it by waiting a couple of hours they sink to the right height, surely by half time they would have sunk about half way to the correct height and by full time it would be about right, surely the team attacking that end in the first half has an advantage?
The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

He deleted it - seems like he was trolling Spanish media?
How the **** can it take a couple of hours to 'investigate' the problem? Measure at each post and the centre of the goal. Walk ~110 yards and repeat at the other end. Should take 5 minutes! 15 minutes if you havbe to walk to ASDA and buy a tape measure

It says that it would take a couple of hours for them to sink, so I was assuming that meant they weren't going to do anything to solve the problem but wait for them to sink naturally
