Paddy Power "right behind gay footballers" by CP&B and Lucky Generals

The online bookmaker Paddy Power has teamed up with the equality charity Stonewall to launch a campaign tackling homophobia in professional football. The campaign was devised by Crispin Porter & Bogusky London and created by Lucky Generals. In addition to outdoor and press ads, Paddy Power has sent rainbow-coloured laces to footballers to wear during games. The QPR midfielder Joey Barton has already expressed his support for the initiative, which was conceived by Christen Brestrup and Bertie Scrase.
