At the same time former Germany captain and Bayern Munich captain Philipp Lahm addressed the issue in an interview with Bild and said: "Right now, I think there is a very low chance a player can come out of the closet in the Bundesliga and come out of it quietly. The responsibility will be too great and he will absorb too much because of it. In all this? "
Laham, by the way, appeared on LGBT magazine in 2007 and said he would welcome a player to come out of the closet on his team.
Max Cruza from Union Berlin said: "I understand people who will be afraid to deal with it, but if one of my teammates comes out of the closet, I will defend him against all The idiots out there. "
