Footballer Jahmal Howlett-Mundle shared his disappointment after a homophobic player was only fined for hurling anti+LGBTQ+ language.
Back in August 2021, the Sheppey United defender, who is openly bisexual, was tackled by Tower Hamlets FC player Ayokunle Odedoyin during a match.
During the tense exchange, Odedoyin spewed homophobic language at the Howlett-Mundle – which he later confirmed on Twitter. “Real shame that a Tower Hamlets FC player was narrow-minded enough to call me a ‘gay p*ssy’ during the game.
Comments such as those will not get under my skin or throw me off my game, and I do understand that, unfortunately, it will happen again,” the 25-year-old wrote.
