A couple of weeks ago I reported on Lee Steele being fired by the Oxford City Football (soccer) team in the U.K. after he tweeted a homophobic comment about Out icon Gareth Thomas.  Apparently he was soon snapped up by another club. According to BBC:

A footballer sacked by Oxford City after posting a homophobic remark on a social media website has apologised for his comments.

Striker Lee Steele, 38, made a remark on Twitter about the gay former Wales rugby player Gareth Thomas.

Tweeting about Thomas's appearance on Celebrity Big Brother, Steele, 38, wrote a "strongly-worded" message about being in a bed near the contestant.

He apologised in a statement released by his new club Nantwich Town FC.

It read: "[The remarks] were made tongue in cheek at the time and Lee would like to apologise for this and any offence that this has caused and would also like to stress that he is not homophobic in any way."
