A British parliamentary hearing on homophobia in sport has been told that gay Premier League footballers would perform better if they were to come out.
British race walker Tom Bosworth and former NBA star John Amaechi told MPs that players would be able to focus on their sport instead of hiding.
No current English Premier League players are openly gay.
Manchester United will play Arsenal in the English Premier League at 1.30am while Crystal Palace will face Manchester City at 3am on the 20th of this month.
