Former England star, Jill Scott has come out to blast Jordan Henderson for moving to Saudi Arabia. She recently revealed that she would not be allowed to see him in action live, and fans have been reacting.
According to her, even if she is a big Henderson fan, she will not be able to get into a stadium in Saudi Arabia to watch him because she is gay.
Henderson added that since he joined the Saudi league, he has not been told what to do and not do.
Her words, “I’m a Jordan Henderson fan but now I know I wouldn’t be welcome if I wanted to watch him play football.”
Henderson added, “I think having someone with those views and values in Saudi Arabia is only a positive thing,”
“Not once have they said: ‘You can do this, you can’t do this’. And I think it can only be a positive thing to try to open up like around Qatar. In the end, around Qatar, having a World Cup there shined a light on certain issues where I think in the end, I might be wrong, but they changed some rules and regulations to be able to host the World Cup and I think that’s positive.”
“That’s the way you try to create positive change. And I’m not saying that I can do that. I’m one person.”
