Ravel gay slur storm

RAVEL MORRISON is at the centre of a homophobia row after using a gay slur to insult a fan.

The midfielder, 19, who quit Manchester United last week for West Ham in a 3½-year deal that could be worth £1million, lost his temper on Twitter after a fan had a go at him.

Morrison remarked: "Go suck out u little f****t. Your a guy that talks if u see me you try slap me I'm in manchester every week."

He removed the offending remark hours later. Neither the player nor his agent were available for comment last night.

Alan Quick of The Justin Campaign, which fights homophobia in the game, said: "It's disappointing to hear yet another professional footballer has used homophobic language."

Announcing himself: Ravel Morrison left Manchester United for West Ham on deadline day






West Ham new boy Morrison in tweet storm after homophobic comment



Ravel Morrison has started his West Ham career by writing a homophobic message on Twitter.

The midfielder, 19, who moved from Manchester United on deadline day in a £650,000 initial deal, responded angrily after been antagonised on the social networking site.

He has since deleted the tweet.

West Ham did not wish to comment, but a spokesman for The Justin Campaign, which aims to tackle homophobia in football, told goal.com: ‘It’s disappointing to hear that yet another professional footballer in England has used homophobic language.’

Hammers in Olympic setback


THE CHANCES of West Ham moving into the Olympic Stadium appear to have receded after legacy chiefs the OPLC launched a search for a stadium sponsor.

The OPLC’s move means the Hammers will not be able to sell naming rights to the venue as part of any deal to relocate from Upton Park after the Games.

It also poses a second potential disincentive to an agreement with West Ham, in that the eventual sponsor could be a competitor of a Hammers-affiliated brand.

The Championship high-fliers are among 16 parties to have expressed interest in leasing the Olympic Park’s £486m centrepiece from 2014.

A decision on which bid or bids have been successful is scheduled to be made in May, when the identity of the stadium sponsor is also set to be announced.

The Hammers’ original agreement to move into the stadium was scrapped in October amid fears of a lengthy legal delay, after a complaint to the European Commission.

West Ham vice-chairman Karren Brady (right) this week reiterated their determination to strike a new deal, following suggestions their interest had cooled.

“I wouldn’t be dragging my body to all the meetings, or reading through a 900-page document every night if we weren’t still committed,” said Brady.

The club have previously made clear their desire to sell naming rights if they move to the Olympic Stadium.

The stadium is set to house a range of sports, with athletics prominent and the running track retained, while rugby union and cricket have also been mooted.

Tottenham, who lost out in the original bidding process, have ruled out another attempt and are committed to building a new stadium in north London.

Worst is that it dilutes terms like 'homophobia' which are meant to deal with serious matters like violence, threats of violence and victimisation. It's a gnats fart non-story.

What a silly silly boy. Why use such derogatory language in a public forum? So stupid. It's bad enough that people still think this way, let alone express it on Twitter :thdn:

Lee Steele got sacked from my local non-league side for some equally offensive. I hope Morrison get's a stern talking.

A 19 year old kid calls somebody a 'faggot' after being wound up on t'internet and that is headline news.
Kids use names like faggot and gay as insults, it isn't homophobic it is just the way they talk.

It seems Ravel is going to be attacked by the gutter press every time he puts a foot wrong.
I never buy the papers anymore, I just read the news on this thread every day.

Ravel in the **** already, that didn't take him long. Although does it really matter what he called the person? Everything just seems so over the top now a days.

Hence the problem V, nobody knows that R is more prevalent than H for sure, there are no guide lines.

I thought personally that, what's the name of it, hate speech ( ? ) of any kind was equal in it's badness ?

But today i've learned that there are tiers of hate speech, some worse than others.

Do you see what i mean ?

Thankfullly Rav the Chav took the lower tiered one to preach his hate, not that he could have been R as he's of mixed R anyway.

Is that right ?
