PSG Fans' Homophobic Chants Under Fire

The French soccer league condemned homophobic chants by PSG fans during a game against Strasbourg. The insults targeted former player Adrien Rabiot, now with rival Marseille. The league's disciplinary committee is investigating. Previously, PSG players faced penalties for offensive chants, prompting stand closures.

In a recent controversy, the French soccer league has come down hard against homophobic chants emanating from PSG fans during a match against Strasbourg. The comments targeted former player Adrien Rabiot, who is now with rival Marseille, and raised significant backlash.

The league, known as LFP, labeled these chants as unacceptable at a time when professional soccer endeavors to eradicate discriminatory behavior from its stadiums. Despite appeals from the stadium announcer to cease the chants, some fans jeered in response, showing a troubling disrespect for inclusivity.

The situation draws on past incidents where PSG players faced reprimand for similar offenses. As disciplinary actions loom, the league is set to scrutinize the case, while also restricting PSG fans' attendance at an upcoming match in Marseille due to security concerns.
