Graham Potter says there is no excuse for homophobia in football ahead of Brighton’s derby clash with bitter rivals Crystal Palace. Premier League clubs last weekend backed Stonewall’s Rainbow Laces campaign in support of gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender people in sport. “Regardless of what type of game it is, it’s unacceptable,” Potter said of homophobia. “If we want to do anything and if we want to change anything, football should be football for everybody, regardless of their ethnicity, their religious position or their sexuality. “In an ideal world you wouldn’t want that to happen or anything like that to be shouted,” added Potter.
