Jack Fletcher Banned for 'Gay Boy' Slur

Manchester United academy player Jack Fletcher has been banned for using the term 'gay boy' during an EFL Trophy match.

Jack Fletcher, son of Manchester United legend Darren Fletcher, was disciplined for directing the homophobic slur toward an opponent who had made comments about his father and twin brother. The incident occurred during a recent EFL Trophy match.

The ban comes amid increased focus on discrimination in football, with authorities taking a firm stance on offensive language on the pitch.
