Only normal people play football.

That's apparently the view of the President of the Croatian Football Federation, Vlatko Markovic, when talking about the possibility of homosexuals playing for Croatia.  See the original article here, and thanks to The Justin Campaign for blogging and tweeting about it.

"While I'm a president of the Croatian Football Federation, there will be no homosexuals playing in the national team", Vlatko Markovic said in an interview with Croatian national daily Vecernji List.
Asked whether in his career he has met a homosexual footballer, he has replied:
"Luckily, only normal people play football".

Sigh.

Edit: Red Card Homophobia have started an email campaign protesting this.  Here's where you can go for more info on that.

And here's another good article on this issue, at In bed with Maradonna.
