Stokes put his career at risk to defend us: Gay couple
After England all-rounder Ben Stokes was acquitted of affray over last year's Bristol nightclub brawl, the gay couple Stokes defended said the cricketer put his career at risk to defend them from homophobic abuse. The couple added they were grateful to Stokes, who "didnât deserve being put through a trial". They also apologised for "the drama" they landed Stokes in.
