Castleford have been fined £40,000 by the Rugby Football League after fans aimed homophobic abuse at Crusaders winger Gareth Thomas.
Thomas, 35, announced in December 2009 that he was gay.
Hopefully football will adopt a similar stance. I have never understood why the 'do you' chant is considered humorous. It is deeply offence and for me is on the same level as racism. It is no surprise that no Premier League or Football League players have admitted to being gay.
