Anton Hysén, Justin Campaign Respond to Antonio Cassano’s Comments About Gay Players

Yesterday, Italy striker Antonio Cassano said he hopes there aren’t any gay players on his National Team (using an Italian derogatory term for gay people.)
A Swedish newspaper contacted out player Anton Hysén for his reaction (translation via The Guardian):
I don’t understand how a role model such as Antonio Cassano can say something like that. It is sad and I don’t understand how someone who is playing at that level can say something like that. He is a big name in the game and a role model for others. It is not good. It is difficult to know how to deal with things like this. I can’t get involved but the Italian Football Federation must look into it. Something can always be done.
Anton’s half brother Tobias is a forward for the Swedish squad at the Euros, currently facing their own issues with some hazing-type behavior after their first-game loss.
Anton Hysén appears at Gothenburg Pride soon after his "Let's Dance" victory.

Anton Hysén: The Interview Behind the Naked Magazine Cover
04/27/12
A lot of the buzz this week has been about Anton Hysén appearing nude on the cover of Swedish magazine QX with strategic covering, but he had some good things to say in his interview as well.
- His career goal is still to play soccer in the United States, and gives the You Can Play Project a shoutout for their work to have straight hockey players speak out against homophobia in sports.
- He talks about why he’s not dating and the kind of guys he likes, pretty much describing Carlos Bocanegra.
- His teammates give him grief about the tight pants he wears for “Let’s Dance” and he has no intention of leaving soccer for TV or other endeavors.
- And, of course, he talks about getting naked for the magazine, including exposing his bare butt for the mag in a photo that was also autographed and is being auctioned off for charity. He also gives his key behind getting such a shapely rear end.
- Oh you wanted to see the butt shot? We have it here.
Please, MLS clubs, sign this hot, young, and talented defender!
