Simen Juklerod: Footballer sent off for calling opponent 'gay'

 
A Norwegian player, Simen Juklerod was sent off in a match forcalling an opponent 'gay'.
During a game between Baerum SK and Sandness ULF in the Norwegian second teir,  Simen Juklerod was given a straight red for his abuse of an opponent.
Juklerod was dismissed with the score level at 2-2 and his side went on to 3-2. Continue...

The head of referees Terje Hauge said using the word 'in an insulting or offensive manner'  would lead to a sending off.
"There was a second I was not thinking, and said the second word (gay), yes," Juklerod admitted.
"Of course it's completely lame. But I still think that's not a red card."
