Jake Daniels’ Blackpool Teammate Marvin Ekpiteta Apologises For Homophobic Tweets
Days after Blackpool FC striker Jake Daniels came out as gay, past historical homophobic tweets of his teammate Marvin Ekpiteta have resurfaced. Ekpiteta, 26, deleted the tweets and apologised to Daniels, who indicated that he has forgiven his teammate. On Monday, 17-year-old Daniels became the first openly gay footballer, since Justin Fashanu in 1990, to come out while still playing. Ekpiteta deleted the tweets and offered his apology.
