Football Player Fined For Using Gay Slur

Pittsburgh Steelers' linebacker Joey Porter was fined for making a gay slur towards Cleveland Browns' tight end Kellen Winslow after the game on Thursday.

Winslow was flagged for a personal foul for hitting Steelers linebacker James Farrior during the game. In an interview after the game, Porter referred to Winslow as a "fag".

On Tuesday, Porter apologized, saying he didn't intend to offend anyone but Winslow.

"I guess, how we used that word freely, me using it growing up, I didn't think anything of it," Porter said on Tuesday. "I apologize to anyone I offended. I didn't mean to offend nobody but Kellen Winslow."

Porter has already been fined once before this season for comments he made to an official during a game against the Atlanta Falcons in October.

It is still unclear whether Porter will appeal the $10,000 fine.
