"Openly gay football players in professional sports should have a very hard time," says a defender from Munich.
According to a player from the German national team, such a player would have to accept insults on the field and from the stands.
"An openly gay football player would definitely be insulted," Lahm said. "It would be very difficult for him. But I myself would have no problem playing next to such a person."
The president of the German Football Federation, Theo Zwanziger, recently urged gays not to hide and promised support."
