A gay soccer player punched an opponent who called him a "f****t" & then it turned into a brawl [View all]

A gay college soccer player who got called a “f****t” one too many times on the field punched his opponent, but he ended up getting punished more severely than the homophobic player.

---snip---

That’s when the opposing team’s player allegedly said: “I’m sick of this little f****t.”

And Bethell punched him.

The Skyline Conference, which handles Division III athletics in the New York area, reviewed video of the incident and came to the conclusion that the other team’s player probably used the slur. He was given a one-game suspension, and so were several of the other players involved in the fight.

Bethell, on the other hand, got a three-game suspension. There were only two games left in the season, so he’ll have to sit the first game of next season out.
