Tom Elliott says he cannot understand the “obsession” some sections of the media have with gay AFL players.

It comes after the ABC placed a microscope on the issue on Four Corners with an “investigation” on why the AFL has never had an openly gay footballer.

“I actually don’t care if a footballer is gay,” the 3AW Drive host said on Wednesday. “It is irrelevant – irrelevant – to how they play the game.”
