David Beckham tells The Londoner he’s glad football has improved since the prejudice he saw in his playing days.
“I played for 22 years, I saw a lot of racism and homophobia and do think it has changed,” he said. “But there’s still a lot of work to be done.” Beckham said of Blackpool’s Jake Daniels, who came out as the first gay current player this month: “It’s a shame that when someone does come out that it’s such a strange thing… it shouldn’t be.”
