Split

Can I propose that we split this category into one for LGBT male association football players and one for females? The gameplay and rules of the sport may be the same but where there is a divide of sexes there is also a huge difference in the appreciation and prominence of the male sport compared to the female one, and a split is also justifiable given that it is acceptable to have LGBT women in their game, but not in the male one as it is still viewed as an ultimate taboo. I think this is quite important if the category is to act as a proper reference list. Thoughts? --Jkaharper (talk) 19:03, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
