Southie park attack leaves one injured

Boston Police report on an incident at the M Street park around 10 p.m. this past Friday:
Victim reported that a group of 15-20 white males began making gender based slurs and threw bottles, cans, and eggs at the participants of a football game injuring one of the players.
Bad night for Southie
Last night around 7ish, I was buying a card at the Rite Aid on Broadway and a man comes running into the store yelling, Call 911! Apparently there was a man assaulting a woman in the parking lot. They were still screaming at each other when I left the store.
Gender based slurs?
Is that police-speak for homophobic slurs?
I know there's a gay flag football league that plays at M Street Park on Saturday mornings in the fall, but as far as I know they don't scrimmage at 10:00 on a Friday night.
Of course, to a neighborhood punk, calling someone "faggit" [sic] or "queeah" often has no relation to actual or perceived sexual orientation. But it is an odd thing for a police report to mention. Wonder what it means...
gender based slurs
It could either be hetero or homo... but your default is probably accurate.
Maybe it was the Transmen
Maybe it was the Transmen Eagles playing the Sissy Slut Saints. Gender issuses would arise.
