"German football referee Pascal Kaiser was attacked over the weekend, his lawyer told local media on Monday. Kaiser was admitted to the hospital due to an assault. He also posted a photo of his bruised face on Instagram. The attack took place in front of Kaiser's Cologne home, with three unidentified men attacking him after he had gone out for a cigarette."
"Kaiser made headlines around the world after proposing to his boyfriend as part of local football club FC Cologne's Diversity Day, which took place during the club's Bundesliga game against Wolfsburg. After his proposal went viral, a local Cologne bar accused Kaiser of fraud while he had worked there, accusations he denied. Now, his lawyer Moritz Lange claimed the bar had made the 27-year-old's address known. The bar itself denies the accusations. According to Lange, Kaiser received many threats since his proposal went viral."
