Gold Coast hard man Campbell Brown makes world headlines for hit on Steven May Campbell Brown faces an uncertain future after his altercation with teammate Steven May at an LA nightclub. THE Gold Coast Suns' dust-up in a trendy Los Angeles nightclub has attracted international attention. Suns management have yet to decide the fate of Campbell Brown, but leading US site Deadspin has suggested the controversial defender is facing an enforced retirement. "Veteran Australian footballer Campbell Brown is facing perhaps the end of his career as his team decides whether to cut him following a fight with a teammate at a Los Angeles club on Monday night," Deadspin wrote. The impetus for the brawl? Rihanna, naturally. The largest newsite in the world, The Daily Mail, also picked up on the incident that left May nursing a broken jaw. "May was allegedly trying to force his way back into the club to get an autograph when Josh Gibson, 29, who plays for Melbourne's Hawthorn team, stepped in to try and stop him," the Mail wrote. It is alleged that May verbally abused Gibson, after which Brown stepped in and allegedly punched May, cracking his jaw. A top sportsman punching a teammate is a good story any time. Throw in international pop princess Rihanna and you've got a worldwide scoop. Later in the article, the Mail attempted to explain AFL to an international audience. "AFL, also known as 'Aussie Rules' and 'footy', is a similar game to NFL and rugby," it wrote. It has the highest spectator attendance of all sports in Australia. Pop superstar Rihanna is believed to have sparked the altercation between Suns Campbell Brown and Steven May. The incident also caught the eye of international celebrity sites. "First Rihanna reportedly inspired the infamous bottle brawl between Chris Brown and Drake, both of whom romanced the 'Diamonds' singer," noted popcrush.com. Now, the Bajan beauty may have sparked another bar fight - between two guys she's never even met! Brown has been suspended and May was hospitalized. No word yet as to whether he ever got his autograph from Rih, but we're betting next time he'll just ask a little more nicely! And the Suns' notoriety wasn't limited to English language pages.
