Henderson was already earning about £5 million per year after tax when he was at Liverpool. Most people won’t earn £5 million in a lifetime. It’s clear he didn’t desperately need the money unless he pissed away all his wages from the last decade of football he’s played.

I’ll say it again.

Nobody would be complaining about Henderson if he didn’t use his platform to claim to support the rights and lives of lgbt people, like the rest of the players that went to Saudi.

But he did, for money him and his family probably would have been fine without, considering they are already millionaires.

All the Saudi drama has shown is that his alleged support will be thrown away the minute the right people throw him a bag of money.

It’s hardly safe for lgbt people around most of the world, and even still pretty sketchy in the places that are supposed to be safe.

How are we supposed to feel when Henderson, an ‘ally’ goes to play for a team funded by the Saudi government?

The same Saudi government that would have us be arrested for being in their country?

How would you feel if it were you?

Who’s discouraging support? I’m not sure you realise why people are actually annoyed with Henderson.

If he was really a supporter of lgbt people, why would he work in a country where it is ILLEGAL for us to be there? If I wanted to go and see Henderson play over there, I’d be arrested before I left the airport.

Imagine if singer claimed to be in support of domestic violence victims, and then went and made a song with Chris Brown. Would you then be angry at domestic violence victims for condemning the singer?

That’s a weird way of saying don’t be a sellout…

Why would they get pushback?

They never claimed to support lgbt people so why would we have issue with them?

Funny way to say “don’t throw away all your supposed ‘morals’ for a bag of cash and expect no pushback”

I imagine that’s because those 90% of fans never gave a shit about lgbt people anyways
