Among these Senegalese players is Guingamp Senegalese defender Donatien Gomis, who preferred to announce his withdrawal from participating in this campaign, and Egyptian Mostafa Mohamed, who plays in Nantes.
French government spokesman Olivier Ferrand on Monday expressed his regret over the refusal of some professional soccer players to wear a rainbow shirt over the weekend, as part of an effort to combat homophobia.
And while the majority of players from the first and second divisions in France participated in the annual campaign, “Gay or Heterosexual, We All Wear the Same Shirt,” some players refused to wear the rainbow shirt.
Among these Senegalese players is Guingamp Senegalese defender Donatien Gomis, who preferred to announce his withdrawal from participating in this campaign, and Egyptian Mostafa Mohamed, who plays in Nantes.
“It’s bad. I was reading an article earlier where someone, a coach I think, said homophobia was an opinion: No, it’s a crime,” Ferran replied via France 2.
