French footballer Patrice Evra will lambast toxic masculinity in a new interview with comedian Munya Chawawa. “My dad said crying is a weakness,” the former Manchester United captain says. “It’s important not to educate our kids in the same way.”
As part of Chawawa’s second Deep Issue Massage interview series, Evra speaks of professional football culture. “I’ve played with players who were gay… and they will never say it out loud,” he says. “At my last club, West Ham, someone from the English federation came and said ‘we need to accept everyone’. Some players were going ‘nah, are you crazy?’”
