Daniel Riolo Open to Apologize Over Comments on Pro-Palestine Banner at PSG Match
Riolo Open to Apologizing Over Controversial Banner Remarks
Paris, November 2024 – A pro-Palestine banner at the PSG vs Atlético Champions League match has sparked a heated debate, with RMC Sport’s Daniel Riolo at the center.
Pro-Palestine Banner Sparks Controversy
On Wednesday night, PSG Ultras displayed a banner supporting Palestine ahead of their match against Atlético. The banner has been met with mixed reactions; while some praised the move, others, including journalist Daniel Riolo, were appalled. Riolo called it "the banner of hate," expressing his disgust in no uncertain terms.
Daniel Riolo Open to Dialogue
The backlash was intense on social media, with former footballer Demba Ba criticizing Riolo’s comments on X (formerly Twitter). Ba challenged Riolo’s stance, suggesting, "If a message of peace makes you sick, then let it be."
Riolo responded to Ba’s critique, inviting him for a discussion on his show, After. He assured, "If your explanation is clear, I will apologize immediately. We await you in peace, Mr. Ba."
An Apology in the Balance
Riolo has shown willingness to retract his statements if Ba’s arguments convince him. However, Ba declined the invitation, demanding a public apology first for being labeled an extremist.
