With a catalogue of instances of behaving like a complete dickhead at every club he has been at, Leon Knight has returned to twitter to prove how much of an odious git he is.
Just to reiterate, Leon Knight is 29 years old.
A footballer in Northern Ireland has received waves of criticism for a series of tweets in which he suggested gays âanal a girlâ, adding that he would walk away from gay critics without âturning his backâ on them.
London-born Leon Knight, 29, who plays for Glentoran in Belfast, had last night reacted to the news that US President Barack Obama personally supported marriage rights for gay couples with the acronym âKMTâ, or âKiss my teethâ, an expression of disapproval.
He continued to his 19,000 followers: âEach to their own but I donât know how a man can be gay âŚ. When there is so much pum pum out there !! Why not just anal a girl !!â
Knight has played for Chelsea, Queens Park Rangers, Huddersfield Town, Sheffield Wednesday and Brighton & Hove Albion before moving to Ireland.
In February, the BBC reported he was the first Irish League player to be handed a suspension over comments made on the micro-blogging site. The nature of the comments were not known.
The tweets continued last night: âCorrect me if Iâm mistaken âŚ. But does the bible say itâs a sin for a man to chop another man ?? #justasking Bible also says interracial is a sin âŚ. Motherf***** Iâm going to hell !!! No long ting.â
âChristianity is a myth Some Catholics priests are on some fruity flex Islam scares me I might just be a pimp lolâ
Responding to another user who had the hashtag #teamgay in his Twitter profile, Knight wrote: âthis guy really got team gay up on heâs bio or am I seeing things Is it out in the open like this #teamstraightâ before posting a screen shot of the gay userâs page.
He added: âThe fruits are coming at me lmfao I ainât turning me back on you lot Iâll slowly walk backwards lmao I donât want no trouble with u lot. I donât know much about the gay stuff cos mans a straight pussy beater âŚ.â
With criticism coming in as users called him a âf***ing moronâ and others urging the club to âget shotâ of him, Knight went on: âShut up u lot call the police Cos I say what I want If man are screaming yolo and team gay Iâm screaming #teamstraight.
âWow u lot ainât this touchy on racist comments but are going wild cos I said gay marriage is just beyond me Sums up our world.
An apology from Knight only provoked further anger: âWow my timeline has gone crazy âŚ. Gay people Iâm sorry !!! Public apology sorry I donât want no beef with u lot â walks away backwards â.â
âTwitter is here to be out spoken and speak your mind Iâm saying the whole gay thing i donât agree with âŚ. Whatâs the problem. Some people donât like blacks or whites or Asians ⌠Thatâs fair enough I donât get why u lot are getting all touchy. I had a little joke with the whole gay thing but donât take it offensive ⌠Obama has signalled the green light so u lot are good to go.â
One user wrote to the striker: âEveryone hates you now Knightyâ.
He replied: âi know lmao. I just wasnât raised like that so my views are different from most of yours I wonât comment on it again cos this is obviously abit touchy.â
Another told him: âyouâre an embarrassment to [Glentoran FC], nobody wants you here plus youâre a useless fat wee shit, waste of a shirt, waste of money.â
Knight replied: âF*** off I canât say it any simplerâ
The user responded: âpeople like me pay your wages, donât forget that â biggest t*** to ever play for my club.â
Knight added: âEmbarrassing the club why cos I got my own opinion that u dont agree with lmfao âŚ. Shut up.â
He added this morning: âComing like u canât say anything anymoreâŚ. The only people I know that have freedom of speech are rappers Might jump in the booth lolâ
The Belfast Newsletter said the Irish Football Association was expected to investigate the comments.
