Jason Akermanis Just days after he controversially told gay footballers to stay in the closet, Melbourne AFL star Jason Akermanis has had both his home and car pelted with eggs. An estimated 20 eggs were hurled, after which neighbours saw six males running from the scene. An outraged Akermanis has told the Herald Sun he spent about an hour cleaning up after the "terrifying" attack. "I'm not happy and I didn't get a wink of sleep after it happened," he said. It's the second time in a month the Western Bulldogs footballer has been egged. He says his comments that gay players shouldn't come out, as it would cause discomfort in the sport's environment, could have provoked the latest incident. Akermanis told the Herald Sun he will review his security system.
