Welsh Footballer Suspended for Homophobic Tweet to British Diver Tom Daley

Welsh football player Daniel Thomas has been suspended for a tweet sent to British diver Tom Daley after his fourth place finish on Monday which read, "if there is any consolation for finishing fourth atleast daley and waterfield can go and bum eachother #teamHIV".

The BBC reports:

Daniel Thomas, 28, will be the subject of an internal investigation into a tweet sent to Daley, Welsh Premier League Port Talbot Town FC says...Port Talbot FC officials confirmed midfielder Thomas had been suspended while they investigated the incident. A club spokesman said: "Port Talbot Town Football Club can confirm Daniel Thomas has been suspended from all involvement with the club until we have carried out a full internal investigation.

Said a spokesman for the club: "We were made aware to an offensive comment appearing on the Twitter feed of one of our players. Upon being informed of the matter, we immediately distanced ourselves from any offensive messages whilst investigating the matter further. Having spoken at length to the player in question, we believe he regrettably left his phone unattended and was the victim of a very misguided 'prank'. All footballers at Port Talbot Town will also be briefed on the appropriate use of social media and ensuring it is used securely and responsibly."

The footballer's Twitter account has also been suspended.

The incident followed another incident in which a British teen was arrested after tweeting Daley:

"You let your dad down, I hope you know that," he had written. Daley's father lost his battle with cancer in 2011.

Shortly before the final had begun, Daley had expressed his gratitude for the support he had received since that time.
"After the toughest year of my life, today is the day!" Daley wrote. "I just want to thank everyone for all their support no matter what the outcome."

The British teen was arrested "on suspicion of malicious communications" according to the BBC.

A spokesman was unable to confirm whether the arrest was specifically over the tweets to Daley or subsequent Twitter conversations with other users.

I posted this video back in February, but since British diver Tom Daley made his London Olympics debut yesterday I figure it's worth a revisit.

Shot in Adelaide, Australia, it also features other members of the Team GB diving squad (Jack Laugher, Chris Mears, Tonia Couch, Sarah Barrow, Nicolas Robinson-Baker and Max Brick)

British Diver Tom Daley Drenched in First Wave of Olympic Athlete Beefcake Shoots: VIDEO

The London 2012 Olympics are coming, which means, among other things, that a bounty of beefcake shoots featuring water-based athletes is set to splash forth in the coming weeks.

One of the first comes from the UK publication Fabulous, which came up with a really original idea for British diver Tom Daley:

"The concept of the shoot is we're going to drench him in water."

Watch their video of the shoot, AFTER THE JUMP...

Of course, Daley has already shown he's 'Sexy and He Knows It.

And the New York Times proves its not immune to the trend by going there with its profile on U.S. swimmer Ryan Lochte, "The Making of an Olympic Sex Symbol":

“I just want to be done,” he said on the drive to a nearby Hilton, steering his white Range Rover with his knee, sitting far down in the bucket seats, blasting Lil Wayne. He was to spend hours shooting a commercial for a cellphone company, posing shirtless on a locker room set. Tomorrow would bring a double session of exhausting practices to rack up the 70,000 meters he swims weekly in preparation for the London Olympics next month. And then more shoots, more training, a grueling schedule of never-ending shirtlessness.
