Colin Clark Gay Slur Apology: Houston Dynamo Midfielder Sorry For Calling Ball Boy 'Faggot' (VIDEO)

Major League Soccer Player Apologizes For Gay Slur

Houston Dynamo midfielder Colin Clark took to the Twitter airwaves on Saturday, apologizing for a gay slur directed at a ball boy.

During a 2-0 loss to the Seattle Sounders on Friday night, ESPN writes that Clark was caught on a video replay, calling him a "faggot" before making a throw-in.

"I'd like to offer a sincere apology to everyone who watched the game, especially the ball boy for whom I used awful language towards," Clark tweeted. "I didn't mean to disrespect anyone and am sorry for letting my emotions get the best of me. It's not who I am and it won't happen again."

The Sporting News notes that Clark also sent an apology to @gay4soccer, a website that brings attention to the issue of homophobia in soccer.

“I'm very sorry for my actions tonight, and I would love for you to consider me a #soccerally moving forward,” Clark tweeted.

After spending his first five seasons with the Colorado Rapids, Clark is in his third season with the Dynamo. Major League Soccer is "conducting a thorough review" of the incident, with possible discipline still to come for Clark.
