Wests Tigers have issued Adam Doueihi with a \u201cplease-explain\u201d after he called a social media post about LGBTQ inclusion in sport \u201cembarrassing\u201d.<\/p>\n

But the Tigers five-eighth denied he had intended to belittle the LGBTQ community with his since-deleted Instagram comment.<\/p>\n

Doueihi replied to a post on the English Premier League\u2019s Instagram page that had the heading \u201cHow to speak about LGBTQ+ inclusion\u201d.<\/p>\n

The upload came as part of Stonewall\u2019s Rainbow Laces campaign, through which the EPL promotes LGBTQ inclusion with a variety of initiatives between December 2 and 7.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Adam Doueihi\u2019s since-deleted comment on Instagram.<\/span><\/p>\n

Doueihi commented \u201cembarrassing post\u201d under the upload, which featured prompts for discussing LGBTQ inclusion.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old later deleted the comment, but not before it had garnered more than 9000 likes.<\/p>\n

The Tigers have not launched a formal investigation into the comment, but called Doueihi on Sunday for an explanation.<\/p>\n

Doueihi told the club he perceived the post to be dictating what people could say to the LGBTQ community, which he found \u201cembarrassing\u201d.<\/p>\n

He said he deleted his comment after realising it could have been misconstrued as homophobic.<\/p>\n

A club representative told AAP the Tigers were an inclusive club that would remain a safe space for fans and players.<\/p>\n

The NRL integrity unit has not been involved in the matter.<\/p>\n

In October, Doueihi voiced his support for a Sydney Catholic girls school\u2019s decision to block students from bringing female dates to their Year 12 formal.<\/p>\n

Doueihi was raised and identifies as a Christian.<\/p>\n

The playmaker is currently recovering from an anterior cruciate ligament injury suffered in April, but last month coach Benji Marshall said he could feature at some point in the 2024 season.<\/p>\n
