Four Toulouse players refuse to participate in LGBT action and will miss the match against Nantes
Four Toulouse players will miss the match against Nantes in the 35th round of the French championship due to an LGBT action. It is reported by La Depeche.
As part of the promotion, players must play matches in T-shirts with rainbow symbols. Moroccan striker Zakaria Abukhlal, Malian defender Moussa Diarra, Algerian midfielder Fares Shaibi, and Dutch striker of Bosnian origin Said Hamulich refused to fulfill these conditions in Toulouse, according to the newspaper.
On May 13, Le Telegramme reported that 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 and missed the game. “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.
