Ben Cohen

With the news this morning that the former england winger has retired from Rugby.

How do you think he will be remembered throughout the game?
Also what do you make of his new venture combating homophobia and bullying in sports such as a Rugby?

Ben who??????????

I don't know but TH admired the stand he was making at Northampton.

I have to say that Cohen will be remembered more for modelling undies by some. This will also explain his work in combatting homophobia and bullying - the gay community love him for said adverts I don't think it's a bad thing for BC to stand up against bullying because he's well known and viewed as something of a tough guy, a man's man. I think it's something that more sports stars should get involved with, especially against homophobia.

As with Nigel Owens and Garreth Thomas it's incredibly heartening to see people involved in rugby do something positive like this.

The fact that Cohen isn't gay, but recognises his potential to help gay people who are being bullied is just fantastic. With his anti-bullying project Cohen is saying "I'm not gay, but if I was I would be proud to be", which is something sportspersons from other sports are probably to scared to say out loud.

Fair play to him.

Yes. I find that with the effluction of time and the news of his good works that my disdain for the incident referred to by Tafineastbourne is diminishing.
