Jake Daniels: Can a 17-year-old trailblazer help kick homophobia out of football?
What impact will England's first openly gay pro footballer in 30 years have on the game?
On this week鈥檚 podcast, will the decision of Blackpool striker Jake Daniels to come out as gay help football become a more inclusive space or merely highlight the prejudices that still pervade the sport?
We speak to Matt Morton, the gay player-manager cited by Daniels as an inspiration, and the co-founder of England鈥檚 LGBT supporters鈥� group Di Cunningham.
And with homophobic chanting still being heard at Premier League grounds this season we ask whether the game鈥檚 authorities should be doing more to tackle this form of abuse.
Panel: Sarah Mulkerrins, Dan Roan, Nesta McGregor, Mike Minay
