“Let’s get rid of discrimination.”
The Professional Football League (LFP) is launching an awareness campaign against intolerance this weekend.
A new concept for new momentum, she hopes.
In recent seasons, the “Homo or straight, we all wear the same jersey” operation had to face resistance in certain locker rooms.
In 2023, half a dozen players from Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 – at least – even preferred to stay in the stands rather than wear a rainbow-colored jersey and number.
Faced with the outcry caused by this boycott, the LFP and its partner associations decided to change their approach.
After intense discussions, it was chosen to deploy two similar systems for the days of fight against racism and against homophobia.
From this weekend of March 30 and 31, there will therefore be a “Let's clear racism” operation on the pitches of Ligue 1 and Ligue 2, as part of the week of education and actions against racism and anti-Semitism.
Then, another, called “Let’s get rid of homophobia”, on May 18 on the occasion of the world day of this cause.
