Sounds horrible, anyone know what happened (obvs be careful as it sounds like an ongoing police investigation).

Sounds like self defence

sounds hugely uncharacteristic for the LGBTQIA football and similarly so from a Charlton representative team! How very bizarre

I was at the game and witnessed everything that happened. Don't believe everything you read from the Yorkshire side of things certainly not as one-sided as they make it sound.First time in watching a number of Invicta games that I have ever witnessed anything like it.3

Sounds like I watch the wrong Charlton games.

The headline in the Pink News article... "Queer footballer". Is the use of the word "queer" in this headline actually necessary? I just think it sounds strange used like that. I dont mean to say the wrong thing and upset anyone but can someone explain to me why it was used, kindly.3

Because Queer covers all of the bases? I doubt Pink news had an actual reporter at the event or did an in depth back ground check. It's safer than wrongly labeling him gay, bi, trans, non binary or anything else he identifies as.Curb_It said:The headline in the Pink News article... "Queer footballer".

Pink news is an LGTBQ+ publication, so the phrase 'queer' is very much relevant to the story.ValleyGary said:

Eg had it been the Plymouth Herald, they'd have written 'local footballer', 'St Budeaux man' etc.
No surprise there is more interest in the title of the story than the content of it.2 -

Because if it just said footballer why would a reader of the Pink News carry on reading?ValleyGary said:

If it was in a "main stream" newspaper I would expect them to make no reference to it, because in the scheme of things it makes no odds. But if it was in the Voice, the Jewish Cronical, gay times or farmers weekly I would expect them to make it clear why they are they are covering it.1 -
But if its in a LGBTQIA+ publication, and the story is about an LGBTQIA+ football match, surely "footballer" would have sufficed?PopIcon said:

Of course, if the Pink News ran stories on "non -identity" fights at Sunday morning football matches, or if this had been a homophobic attack, the headline might have been more relevant.1 -
Maybe this is why?PopIcon said:

“We would kindly request the matter is not discussed on social media until the police and the organisation completes its own review.”

Or maybe the footballer was unwell…🤔0

They could have simply said footballer and that Charlton Invicta are an LGBT team. Language use is getting ever more clumsy and cumbersome.Cafc43v3r said:

Have to credit readers of Pink News with a bit of intelligence.1 -
