Several players in Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 did not wish to wear the rainbow flocking as part of the World Day Against Homophobia this weekend. Toulouse, Nantes or Guingamp were conspicuous by their absence because they did not want to fight homophobia.
This operation, launched by the Professional Football League for five years, did not have to be carried out by the clubs. The vast majority wanted to do so, while different actors put themselves on the sidelines of this sequence by simply deciding not to play.
