Josh Cavallo says coming out was a great decision and he wishes he did it sooner. Also, he claims he gets multiple daily death threats.

Never in doubt when it comes to standing up against the unjust treatment of players -that’s why I’m a happy and proud member of your team. Thanks for your support in this matter @FIFPRO
The Super Eagles were held at an abandoned airport in Libya for over 15 hrs without food. #FIFPRO calls on all relevant authorities to prioritise their immediate safety and respect their decisions. Every player deserves to compete in a safe environment. https://t.co/VR2863TVWD

I really like this, and a good example of how to position a club without (minus the last point) relying on success on the pitch. It’s a solid case for a bunch of Scottish clubs (even if there’s some European knock-out PTSD sliced into this clip).
