Mikey Connor took to social media to explain the damage he feels has been caused by the former Manchester City midfielder's latest tweets
A Liverpool man faced social media abuse after doing what he thought was the right thing in speaking out. Mikey Connor, from Orrell Park, is probably best known for his stint on the UK’s first-ever all-gay dating show. The 28-year-old appeared on BBC ’s I Kissed A Boy as a bombshell entry over a year ago now. Since then, the former semi-professional footballer has returned to the game he loves in a refereeing role.
” After a series of tweets from former Manchester City midfielder Barton in which he said, among other things 'Gays have taken over football', Mikey spoke out. What Mikey told the ECHO was a similar sentiment to what he posted to his own 40,000 followers. The video has been viewed over 102,000 times, with the majority of the responses being in support of what the TikToker had to say. Mikey said: “What Joey has been doing is so damaging to a lot of people.
