Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 players refused to play against Toulouse on Saturday. Mostafa Mohamed said he did not want to be controversial.

He said he wanted to show respect for others and his own beliefs. The players were wearing jerseys with the word "gay" on them. The Ligue 1 club was forced to cancel the match. It was part of a day of action to raise awareness of homophobia in the game. The match was postponed until Sunday after the players returned to Nantes.
