The player of the French “Guingamp” Gomis refused to participate in the LGBT action and missed the match
Guingamp football player Donatien Gomis did not participate in LGBT events before the match of the 35th round of the second division of the French championship. It is reported by Le Telegramme.
The defender was not included in the squad and will miss the match against Sochaux. “The whole team will be in the colors of this campaign. Donacien Gomis said he did not want to wear such a T-shirt. We have taken note of this,” said Guingamp president Fred Le Grand.
Earlier it became known that the National Hockey League (NHL) thought about revising the holding of actions in support of LGBT people after the clubs refused to participate in them. League commissioner Gary Bettman felt that this distracted from the very essence of the action, which eventually fades into the background.
During the 2022/2023 season, the Minnesota Wild, Chicago Blackhawks and New York Rangers refused to participate in promotions. In addition, Russian hockey players Ivan Provorov from the Philadelphia Flyers and Ilya Lyubushkin from the Buffalo Sabers did not wear rainbow uniforms.
