Three Ligue 1 players have been handed suspensions for failing to respect the league’s anti-homophobia campaign, which coincided with the final day of the season.
Once again, FC Nantes’ Mostafa Mohamed refused to take part in the campaign, citing objections. He has not been fined, but his Egyptian compatriot, Ahmed Hassan, did. The Le Havre forward masked the rainbow logo on his shirt during the match, as did Olympique Lyonnais’ Nemanja Matić. They did so using tape. Both have received suspensions from the LFP. They have both been handed a two-match ban with a further two-game suspended ban.
Those will come into effect for the start of the upcoming Ligue 1 campaign. RC Lens’ Jonathan Gradit has also been suspended for one game. The Frenchman could be heard making a homophobic slur on the same weekend as the anti-homophobia campaign. He has been handed a one-game ban by the French authorities.

So a player who tapes over the badge gets two matches while a player who actually makes homophobic chants get 1 game. So the agenda is actually about promoting LGBTQ rather than discouraging discrimination.

If our African leaders weren't corrupt, we would invest in our own leagues and witness our African teams playing instead of supporting guys. Lord have mercy on us 🙏.

If you want people to respect LGBT, you too must respect people who have chosen to not be LGBT. You can't talk about Gaye right and then deny another man's right to dislike gay.
