Providing positive messages can help make football more inclusive for LGBT people, says Kick It Outs Education and Development Manager Troy Townsend. Townsend was speaking to Sky Sports News HQ at a screening of the new short film WONDERKID on Monday night.The film, directed by Rhys Chapman, depicts a rising star breaking into the professional game who expresses his talent on the pitch, but finds life difficult off it due to other peoples attitudes about his sexuality. Players need a positive environment, according to Troy Townsend Last month, Football Association chairman Greg Clarke told a Culture, Media and Sport select committee of MPs that football still needs to create a safe space free from abuse and that he felt personally ashamed that no current players had come out.Clarke told the committee he would not recommend that a footballer come out as gay at the moment, adding they would be taking a risk of vile abuse and could not yet be offered the required protection.Townsend acknowledges the intense scrutiny on footballers and says for any player who might consider coming out, the response of their team-mates, friends and family are crucial. WONDERKID is about a young player struggling with attitudes towards his sexuality Footballers crave adulation, said Townsend. They crave people shouting their name for the positive reasons... we need to make sure that the environment that they work in every single day doesnt change just because they want to tell people who they are. Take a look at the trailer for the new short film WONDERKID, which portrays the inner turmoil of a young footballer The focus is going to be incredible. No one can tell us any different. But we need to make sure the people around them, the closest people to them, are not talking or thinking negatively about them just coming out and being natural.Sophie Cook, AFC Bournemouths official club photographer, came out as transgender to her club colleagues and the Cherries squad last summer. She says their response and her ongoing experiences in football have been overwhelmingly positive. Sky Sports Geoff Shreeves meets WONDERKID director Rhys Chapman Before I came out, I was terrified that Id never work in football again because there was no history of a transgender person working in football, said Cook, who took part in a panel Q&A discussion on homophobia in sport after the WONDERKID screening.But when I actually came out to the players - I was introduced as Sophie to the team at a training session - they all clapped me.I was like wow guys! I wasnt expecting it. When my story broke in the press, and people really started to know about what had happened, I had fans coming up to me shaking my hand, hugging me, saying good on you, thanks for being brave and were really glad youre happy. Chris Mason plays the lead character in WONDERKID The second hearing of the Culture Media and Sport select committee inquiry into homophobia in sport takes place on Tuesday morning at Westminster, and WONDERKID director Chapman believes growing interest in his film reflects the progress being made.The more momentum we got, the more support we were able to get, said Chapman, when asked about how he secured backing for the project.And the message I am getting from within the game is that people realise this needs to change. Were getting towards the tipping point. Also See: Clarke ashamed of situation Gay players must be supported Director and star discuss WONDERKID WONDERKID: The website Marshon Lattimore Youth Jersey .

The Sky Sports pundits predict who will triumph in France. France are unsurprisingly attracting the majority of the backing as the bookies favourites, but there is one pundit willing to back England, while Matt Le Tissier has a 40/1 fancy.

As Sky Bet launch their Euro 2016 offer, we asked the pundits whether they will make their outright predictions using their head or their heart... Jamie RedknappId obviously love to see England do well and I think they will go close, but my head says France.I think in terms of strikers, were up there with the best, but looking at the squads, it is France that have the highest quality overall.Theyre obviously the home nation and showed how important that is by winning the World Cup in 1998 and Euro 84, when they hosted both times.Redknapp predicts: France (3/1 with Sky Bet)Matt Le TissierIts a tough one but Im going with my head and for a bit of value with a good each-way price in Austria.They did very well in qualifying, winning nine and drawing just one of their 10 games and let in very few goals. Austria cruised through qualifying for Euro 2016 Yes, Id love England to win it, but my head is saying theyre just not good enough.Le Tissier predicts: Austria (40/1 with Sky Bet)Jamie CarragherId always go with my head and unfortunately, that doesnt mean England.I think that theyll have a good tournament, which would mean quarter-finals or semi-finals at best for me.Im going to go for France. I think home advantage is a big thing and theyve got a lot of really good young attacking players in Anthony Martial and Antoine Griezmann.Carragher predicts: France (3/1 with Sky Bet)Alan McInallyWith Scotland not being there, I think that rules out betting with my heart! I think if youre betting with your head, its got to be Germany or France. Germany never tend to start very well, but tournament football is what theyre good at. They just seem to grow and bond as a unit and deliver when it counts. Germany are the reigning World Cup champions Im trying to make a case for Belgium.dddddddddddd Theyve got some fantastic players, but will they play like a unit? Im not really sure, so I dont think you can look past Germany or France.McInally predicts: Germany (7/2 with Sky Bet)Niall QuinnYou should never bet with your heart! But if I was, it would be for Ireland to make it out of their group, although its hard to predict how the really tough games will go.If Im betting with my head, you normally get a great run from the home nations, with the exception of Poland and Ukraine last time out, but certainly the bigger countries that have had the tournament in their own backyard tend to do well, so Id be looking at France.Quinn predicts: France (3/1 with Sky Bet)Alan SmithI think Ill follow my heart. Its been a long time for England obviously and weve gone into a lot of tournaments with hope and come home disappointed, but maybe this time it could be worth a few quid. Harry Kane and Jamie Vardy scored 49 Premier League goals between them They dont go into it as favourites, but theyre in a clutch of teams that have got a chance. I think the way the groups are, with the enlarged format of the competition, its harder not to get out and then hopefully they can get some momentum and go on a roll.Smith predicts: England (8/1 with Sky Bet)Paul MersonIm going with France. I do like home advantage. I think its massive at major tournaments.Over the years, its been proven with host nations nearly always getting to the semis if not the final and, with a nice group, I think if France hold their nerve, theyll win it.Merse predicts: France (3/1 with Sky Bet) Get Euro 2016 Alerts Breaking news from Euro 2016, direct to your mobile Also See: Euro 2016 Fixtures Latest video Tables ' ' '
