Ashby Rollins

hatred eh. so who give that guy any right to dictate hendo action whether to go to Saudi or wherever.? whenever someone not agree with them become homophobic.

Hafizee Rawi

Christian.

no, the issue is Henderson claimed to be an ally and proved himself a hypocrite and liar, all for money, it's pathetic and a betrayal, if I was in that community I would be pissed to, I am pissed anyways but especially if I was LGBTQIA

so, will you pay for his salary that he will get from Saudi so that he can stay and celebrate your LGBTq nonsense?

stop that stupidity. because Henderson hasn't come out to say he doesn't support whatever community he was supporting.

Derrick Nana Humble

no, I won't, he's free to do what he wants just as I'm free to call him on his hypocrisy and lying, and you are free to show yourself to be a hateful bigot, as you have done here

so I have gone from being homophobic to spreading hatred to hateful bigot in just less than 30 minute just for this. no wonder this nonsense group become a mob and locked riley Gaines just for fighting for women's right.

lol those big words that get thrown around on twitter and reddit have made it to the lfc app go away with your bigots just because someone has a different belief to you

kpjzl

the alphabet army I stand with Riley Gaines

you can take your LGBTq shit and shove it.

cause he was on minimum wage right? he's already made when he hit the 25 million mark. What the hell you on about ?

Big red 82

Sebastian Figueiredo

let Hendo decide his future. you are not his father to decide for him ok.

Hahaha. What ? Read the article again. Why exactly are you talking to me like you are my dad ? you are barking up the wrong tree

🤣🤣 Three down votes for stating the obvious Jordan Henderson has never had to concern himself about feeding his kid's!! you absolute bell ends don't down vote explain to me why I'm wrong ya cowards!

I personally don't give a shit what Jordan Henderson does or doesn't do he's no longer a Liverpool player! but to say he's moved to Saudi Arabia so his kid's won't starve is fucking moronic beyond belief.....

LGBT IS NOT FINANCIALLY  SUPPORTING HENDERSON. NOR THEY WILL FEED HIS FAMILY. HENDERSON U DID THE RIGHT CHOICE.  TODAY S WORLD EVERYONE NEEDS MONEY. when he was lfc, everyone wanted him out  as he was good for nothing.

Our captain deserves what he wants u tit so jog on
