Total cop out. Would rather ‘respect culture’ than stand up for the marginalised.
These guys should admit there after the bag🤑💵. Cut the bullshitt about chasing your dream😂
Man fuck the lgbt
He just wants to pay football but has to worry about gay ppls feelings and worries about ruining his image. Plus big up Saudi and all middle eastern countries for banning such a bad sin
Why do fucking gay people Think thwre life matters more than anyone else’s like he’s working in a country that it’s illegal respect yhwre laws like yiy want to be respected if your not a gay person from Saudi who is persecuted for being gay but live in a open society your opinion is invalid
I’ve not gone for the money😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Respect the laws of other country's if you don't agree with there policy's then don't go there. Also the Premier league and Spanish league have been throwing money around for the last 30 years why is it only a problem now.
Money is more important than standing up for something he doesn't relate to, I agree
Well that's a man with no principles. Feels like he's trying to please everyone
Hundreds of leagues he could have played for, he chose the one that payed him the most, but it’s not about the money. SMH
Unwanted. Wonder how Liverpool’s fans will think of him now , 😂😂
It's nothing to do with anyone but him… Gay people often holiday in places with similar laws and rules to saudi
Liverpool fans no wanting him? Bullshit
I think Saudi should focus on the talented players who plays in Europe or in the rest of the world but not from a European race. Too much drama for a football game with those people who throw bananas on players every match and loves to have it hard where the 💩 comes out! 😅
Doesn’t matter what people think, they’ll cry and wine regardless.
People need to understand that footballers are not necessarily intelligent people they just make a lot of money. People wouldnt have a problem if he just said I'm there for my financial well being instead of trying to make them selves sound less greedy what they dont understand is they are now lying which is way worse. Just tell the truth.
henderson is a complete hypocritical t***t
Bro played himself
Jordan ynwa
His first mistake was to associate himself with political issues.
people's actions show their real attitudes, rather than what they say 😂money😆
ungrateful creature
Ohh for God's sake let the lad work and secure his family
End of
Tolerating intoleration. Great 🤡
A very lawyered response, he's using his sellout money well at least
LGBTQ+ community are just a bunch of crybabies. If you put that in the same situation, what are you gonna do? I bet that with 10k a week is enough to tempted you. I mean they live in fantasy world where everyone has to support them and if anyone who against them is a disgusting human being. I get it that's a human rights, but so does Henderson as well. He using his "human rights" to choose money over his campaign and there's nothing you can do about it.
No cares about lgbt. He is there for football, not politics.
Also, I really wanted hendo to stay. He has so much leadership wisdom.
Can not respect anyone who leaves for cash and then won't admit it, even to go as far as making out you wanna spread football globally? bellend.
