Burnley striker Andre Gray is facing possible discipline by the English Football Association for homophobic tweets he made four years ago — even though they were made before the FA instituted the rule that's being used to punish him.
Gray scored his first Premiere League goal in Burnley's 2-0 win over Liverpool on Saturday. After the goal, fans began to re-share some of Gray's old tweets in which he had made homophobic comments.*
Gray has since deleted the tweets but screenshots are still making the rounds.

Gray, who is 25 years old, took to his Twitter account on Saturday evening to share an apology for his comments, saying, "I have a lot of regrets regarding a number of things I've done in the past and realize I have made some big mistakes, **ne more so than these tweets, but I would like to stress that I've worked incredibly hard to completely transform my life since that time."
